@James-he4qc Thanks James! If you watch Dylan Johnson you'll know that there is scientific basis behind getting in the gym, to improve your cycling performance rather than it just being for injury prevention. However if you look at most of the world tour guys, my assertion is that they're either not doing any gym work, or it's quite minimal stuff - ie injury prevention/ rehab or prehab work. But then most of the track guys are definitely spending a good amount of time in the gym. Now for me, I already had a good strength base before starting cycling, so I've mainly just been trying to maintain it really. Therefore I haven't seen any crazy benefit from it, but likewise no detriment to my cycling when I stop doing it for a few weeks. But I could say the same for other supplements, and I'll trust that they are having a positive impact even if it's no measurable. With that speel done, I'd say it depends. If you're a time crunched cyclist (ie.
