63: 🏋🏼 How Strength Training Improves Cycling(explained simply)

🏋🏼How strength training improves your cycling: 🔋THE OBVIOUS: You get stronger by building bigger muscle fibers AND/OR neural adaptations(how the brain communicates with the muscles). 🔋LESS COMPENSATION: Certain muscles begin to “turn off” after time in the saddle(mostly ones on the backside of your body). Keeping those muscles activated helps your primary muscles not become overused. 🔋INJURY PREVENTION: Balanced strength training gives you a more stable body to tolerate impact and twisting. These “tweaks” happen while you’re on the bike or hitting the ground🙈I probably don’t have to explain why less injury is beneficial to your program... 🔋COMFORT: Better alignment and activated muscles means more comfort while riding. Most of use know how back, neck, or knee pain can eliminate your ability to put down power. 🔋PUT IT ALL TOGETHER: Now you’re muscles are firing properly across your body(power transfer) without the pain, instability, or “turned off” muscles holding your back.
