RoboLuke Posted June 26, 2014 Share Do you add weight training to your cycling? If so - how often do you do squads, and what % of your body weight do you push? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Absolutely yes, and various other leg excercises including lunges and calf raises. I squat half my body weight. When I still did bodybuilding I could squat 200kg, but those tree trunks you wil get as legs wont help your cycling. It really makes a big difference to your fitness. I do legs once a week, on a Tuesday, gives me time to recover after my weekend rides, and also leaves Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to recover before my weekend ride.

T-Bob Posted June 27, 2014 Share That's a leg press, has nothing to do with a squad. Apologies... this appears to fit the OP subject. Probably wouldn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6QczRLR75Y Edited June 27, 2014 by hellocolour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
