Being fast on a bike isn't just about riding a bike. In terms of training, nutrition, and mental approach, it's about much, much more. The Atherton's have one of the most complete team setups on the circuit, including their coach, Alan Milway. Alan was kind enough to put an afternoon aside to make this video. Can Scott train like a world champ?

Excellent vid! Everyone seems to be an 'expert' on doing squats and deadlifts but that advice is prone to get you hurt most of the time. It's great to see a pro trainer sharing the little subtle form tips that really make a big difference when doing these types of powerlifting moves.
Gee's face at 7:54, when you hear someone bought their new downhill bike from halfords
Yeah 1 of my friends wants to come out with me and my other friends, we've all been riding for a while and have good bikes like 2-3 grand or so but he says that his €190 trax (absoloute shredding machine) is up to the job XDDDD
Hey Neil! What do you like to set your torque at for your seat foam? 😂😂
Wow. For a biker who sits leaning forward for hours, you've got some pretty damn good form. Your back is very straight indicative of fantastic posture.
Not only even as a seasoned lifter do I have issues with this but I notice its exasperated after a long bike ride.
Great video, as always. Really appreciate the great detailed training tips on executing with proper form.
Keep them coming 👍🏻
These are some great strength training tips! Squats are a beast for overall endurance!
shocking rowing form at the end there...Rachel?
7:54 that moment when the camera man lets rip
hahahaha
Great vid!
Nice work!
I feel like when going for endurance youd want to do more reps.
I'd also add in some:
Farmer's Walks(grip),
Dips(chest & tris),
Rows(whole back),
Hanging Leg Lifts(core & legs),
Lunges & kettle bell step ups(legs)
the science says low reps, higher weight is actually some how best for endurance - go figure. Strange one indeed!
something to do with keeping muscle mass down and recruiting existing muscles fibres to engage and work that previously were not!
Will use those deadlift form tips next time in the gym.
I come from a powerlifting background but am trying to start MTB racing this summer. I've been hoping for a video like this. I'm still trying to find that balance between strength training and cycling. I'm actually surprised that he is suggesting such low rep ranges for the squat. I figured he'd be suggesting something more like 8-10 for a little more endurance focus.
You should look into basic gymnastic ring exercises for the upper body. I've been working ring dips back in for some non-gimmicky shoulder stabilization work. Ring pushups are easier but would serve a similar purpose.
+Mitchell Mounts I think he's promoting an off-season workout here, so low reps to promote power/hypertrophy whereas the maintenance phase (high rep) would be an in-season plan once you've got the gains.
Rings/TRX are fantastic for core/arm cross training, great idea!
+Mitchell Mounts interestingly I had always trained higher reps but Alan Milway was keen on doing less reps with more sets at a higher quality to keep posture strong and ensure it was engaging the correct muscles.
I use rings and TRX for all my training expect and expansion of more MTB specific exercises very soon! Scott
Global Mountain Bike Network are you planning a video with EMS like Compex integration in mtb training?
It is strength training, so low reps work. You get your endurance on the bike.
Ring pushups? seriously? Ring pushups risks shoulder injury....these guys are cyclist....not training to be porn stars.
great vid.
From personal experience. Been training weightlifting and still, 2-3 times in a week, and can say that I`m a strong a person for 78kg., 160kg. squat, 200kg. dead lift and 75kg. military press, but my results from weightlifting don`t helped me in MTB. Stay in shape and ride safe to all of yoy!
ps bad english, sorry
+stoenchu122 it does help but you have to work your cardio and technique along.
+Felipe Acosta it makes a massive difference is racing. Being able to sprint during a race run or pump as hard as possible is super important, and it helps most when it comes to staying fresh throughout a race weekend
Great work out but even better hoodies I want one
It's got to be COLD in that gym!
Ryno power workout 🏋️♂️ is the way to go 👍
You can tell he's a mountain biker. Just look at those scars on his shins and knees! :)
+Simonas Kiela you can't get them doing just any sport... Scott
+Global Mountain Bike Network specially those which needed stitches but hadn't been stitched get purple in color.
+Global Mountain Bike Network I'm sure you can, but I can relate personally, so I noticed.
The Torque on your seat post Niel! Cheep move.
Thank you so much for this video! Any tips on how to create a whole weight training routine? That is 3x7 sets of deadlif, then 7 box jumps, etc... How many days a week?
+Scott Sanders two sessions per week should be sufficient
Can you do a how to train for crosscountry
Don't forget to wear proper shoes. I personally can't wear running shoes when I squat and deadlift. I have to use flat shoes like vans or converse all-stars.
Converse all-stars can never be suggested as good sport shoes. If your looking for flat shoes you can buy running shoes with a sole with 0 drop. Weight lifting shoes have quite a big drop btw
do your deadlifts without shoes or with really flat soles...
Someone is scared... in 0:53 :D
whilst this is a good video... were is my dirt shed? its like i didnt get my dose of drugs this week... its gonna be a long bad week without it
404 legs not found
I dare say you'd have big legs at gym, but cant do shit with them outside?....this guy is a professional rider....more talent in his wrist than you'll ever have....
Can anyone who has experience in both compare the endurance and strength required for competitive downhill vs motocross? Thanks, I've never really tried true downhill although I would love to
hey, the other presenter .... not NEIL , is he the one that went away to pursue a degree in engineering ?
Does that trainer remind anyone else of Chad reed?
Justin F not really
is that gee?
+Islam FREERIDE it is!!
4?

1. up the testosterone
2. growth hormone
3. bodybuilding/strength training
3 months...beast mode
Really love your video gents but c'mon have a word with the coach... Safety collars on the bars! #wheretheresablame
I think he might be of the school of thought that good form negates the need of a collar.
why is a collar needed? They are just training lightly......lightly!!!!! Next you'll request for a weight belt and knee support?

Squat scott
Lifting techniek tips are graet! But 4-5 reps for starters is bit strange and a box jump isn't plyometric. This is pure concentric muscle contraction. Plyometrics implies a short quick excentric muscle fase followed by concentric. Keep the weight down so you can do 10-15 reps in a good posture and slowly progress!
Scotty, how old are you?
+Alex Rassi 26!
+Global Mountain Bike Network I would have guessed 21-24

That's the romanian deadlift
I can squat 205 pounds and I am 13 I'm so happy
that smelly smell that smells smelly
How much do you weigh?
Seriously don't put your feet so wide apart like your are body building. Try to make the workouts a simulation as body movements on the bike. you don't pedal with your feet so wide apart.
They squat and deadlift with 40kg. lol come on!
he did say to keep it light to maintain form....u must be a teenager? Stop idolising Arnold - he was a dicky.
