Noone ist saying it cant be done, but doing it Like explained in the Video you could have gotten even better results. I can imagine exercise in the Army ist quit high intensity.
Very informative and and I appreciate the references to specific research. However, it would be more accurate to say that the northern hemisphere is heading out of winter. Where I live in British Columbia, the neighbourhood streets have been covered in snow and ice since the 3rd week of November. In a normal year I’m back outside road riding the 3rd week of February. From a practical point of view, a 12-week strength conditioning program would start in November, not in January.
next question is how to do this stuff at home without gym tools? or do i just get a gym membership? seems like too short a session to bother with a membership but am tempted
That 22% improvement was genetic. Thats beginner gains and not normal for most experienced athletes. 5% gains is a generous number all ready and 22% is completely out of the realm of possibility for most. Another issue is not one person was doing the movement right. Maybe show people doing real movements and that they are doing them correctly. I will also point out if you do 2 sessions on the weights in 7 days you will need 4-5 days that week to recover 😂 Once a week is it. Hell major strength athletes Only train a movement once to twice a week. Unless all you are doing is zone 2 recovery rides and no more two time a week is to much. Even when I was in my 30s more than two strength training sessions a week was too much to recover from. Basically if I want to train strength I will listen to a strength athlete not a cyclist and a study 😂
That's why they say, in this and other videos, you shouldn't do it to failure. You want stimulus but not to the point where you're left with multiple days for recovery. For regular strength training that is leaving gains on the table, as they call it, but for cycling it's a complement to eek out gains you wouldn't otherwise get on the bike.
When you first start working out you will get delayed onset muscle soreness but after a couple weeks you won’t. Lift weights after your hard interval sessions on the same day and take an easy day after. It’s even more important to lift weights as you get older to avoid losing muscle and if you cycle a lot there’s no weight bearing and you can get weak bones so you should lift weight and running helps to get some weight bearing exercises as well. Just start slow maybe once a week and work up to 3 weight training or running sessions per week and you will get at least 5% stronger guaranteed.
I’m only using his off-the-shelf programs and would definitely listen to them based on my experience. Personal preference and lifestyle, I’d stay with two sessions. Either way, for those that experiment season after season with different programs from sole “strength athletes”, I think Aaron’s advice would be worth a try when it’s focused for cyclists.
Always great to listen to this kind of topic. Thanks Cam and Aaron.
While in the army I went from a 8 min mile to a 5 min mile, but i was working out every day twice a day for 9 months.

Very informative. Time to throw everything against middle age set in :-)
Woudl love to see the data being discussed in some form of visual along with the discussion. Good content
Mate - love the videos but we’ve been in winter for months up here! It never ends 😢. Maybe we should stop cycling and just do weights…
Lift weights and run on the treadmill!
Excellent, thank you Guys

Second😊
You guys left us hanging for 24 hours... what's that all about? 🤪

According to who? You?😂
@hill160881 I second that, I can only manage leg day one day a week. However I enjoy getting the most out of the gym and pushing it to failure.
