wheelz Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 please cound someone advise me on how to improve my explosive power ie. a lot of very short (5m) explosive burst while going hard. thanks
Hog_ Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I had explosive spurts once. I think it was from bad seafood. I still can't eat prawns after that. If you want to improve the power, maybe try to hold them in longer?
Guest Agteros Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 There is this gym, I hear that a lot of cyclists go there. Maybe find out how explosive they are, and then possibly emulate them?
HammerHed Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 8 second sprints on your trainer in 53x16 - 8 second sprint /52 second rest x 5 x 3 minute rest x 8 second sprint /52 second rest x 5 x 3 min rest x 8 second sprint /52 second rest x 5 x 3 min rest. You get the picture. I have a great workout that builds power without killing your legs for the week: 40 second at your threshold power / 20 second rest x 5 x 3 min rest, repeat till tired. I do 3 or 4 of these in one session and it builds power very quickly and you can still walk the next day. Do this with the above once a week and see the benefits in a matter of 2 weeks, seriously.
Beavis Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Ride at 90% of treshold(high tempo) for 20 minutes but do a hard effort(sprint) for 10sec every 2 minutes.Alternate in and out of saddle!! Will help you do those hard efforts while riding at a high tempo.
TNT1 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 8 second sprints on your trainer in blah blah Can't you train on the road?
Slave Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 This is not something I highly recommend. There is enough carnage out there without more people spontaneously blowing up.Pull yourself together man.
TNT1 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I'm gonna go have a curry now. Will let you all know how the explosive spurts go later tonight...
Slave Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 On the other hand, there are a number of training programs out there where they tell you how long you need to up your tempo. If you like, I have a hrad copy on my pc. PM me your e-mail address and I will send it to you.

markStockton Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I was going to suggest Imodium, but I'm not to sure that is the answer youre looking for.
Moab Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I was going to suggest Imodium' date=' but I'm not to sure that is the answer youre looking for. [/quote']
Guest Agteros Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I was going to suggest Imodium' date=' but I'm not to sure that is the answer youre looking for. [/quote'] Betaparamide used to be a lot cheaper Especially at 4+ a day...
