Why Strength Training is the Missing Link for Cyclists
The Roadman Cycling Podcast
The Essential Role of Strength Training for Cyclists
This chapter highlights the significance of strength training for cyclists, debunking myths about it leading to bulkiness or being exclusive to younger athletes. It discusses the health benefits of strength and conditioning across all ages, urging listeners to integrate it into their fitness routines.
Strength and conditioning (S&C) isn’t just for athletes—it’s essential for everyone. In this special Roadman Cycling Podcast episode, I share why I’m committing to S&C and why you should, too. After struggling with back pain on long rides, I realized strength training was the missing link.
Beyond cycling, S&C combats muscle loss, strengthens bones, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental health. Research even links it to a longer, healthier life. With insights from experts like Peter Attia and Andy Galpin, I’ll cover how to get started, common myths, and why resistance training is a game-changer.
