Ep 18. The 5 Stages of Strength Training for Cycling & Triathlon Success

In todays episode Coach Brodie talks in depth about the 5 Stages of Strength Training that EVERY Cyclist, Triathlete, & Runner MUST go through each year, in order to have success in their chose sport from strength training...and not an injury. Covered in todays podcast are a number of common questions, and areas where many athletes screw up strength training:

Should a Cyclist perform a 1RM (1 Repetition Max Test)? 

Does a Triathlete need to Deadlift from the floor?

Why you should NOT leave strength training sessions crawling.

Is being super sore for 1-2 days after a strength training session something you should aim for?

Why do some cyclists say that strength training "ruined their riding abilities"?

Should triathletes be afraid of muscular hypertrophy?

How do I convert strength training gains onto the bike, or to triathlon results?

Which should I do first: Strength Training or Biking/Swimming/Running?

What nutrient do women need to make sure to eat before and immediately after training for 14-18 days a month?

There are also a number of MISCONCEPTIONS we blow to smithereens:

Big Gear work  = Transfer of strength over to cycling 

Doing just lots of plyometrics or jumping will improve your riding and sprinting

Endurance athletes should only lift in sets of either 12-18 repetitions, or 25-30 repetitions

Your Strength training movements should mimic the same movements as your sport

As well as other topics that have coach Brodie a little hot under the collar....
