It actually might not even be possible. But similar to that forest thing we’re always blabbing about. OKAY DAD I hear you.

Less stimulus is better then.

Welcome back to Part 2 with the legend, Laurens ten Dam! Going Pro! The early years. No plans for the Tour de France. Racing to explore the world! 2010 and 2015, the best years. When there was too much “Ride Fast”, he ditched the power meter. Training in the current day! 3 hour rides while juggling the businesses and family. One long ride: 7 hour ride. Upside down pyramid: vo2max in the winter with shorter rides. Live Slow Drop Your Friends. Gravel Worlds plug. Training back in the Rabobank days; not an interval guy. 3-4 minute efforts with repeatability. If you train more sprints, you go slower on the mountain. It’s a balance! Join Cycling App; anyone using this? Power degradation vs. One Max Efforts Consistency. We all have doubts. Going your own way. Lifting and cross training? https://youtu.be/VuaC6I0Nqj4

All the coaches give a strength training pitch in just 3 minutes. If you take some notes, you’ll see how different we all can approach this topic. When to lift, how to lift, and how does this change as race season approaches? Weight training, like cycling training, is very individualized. It is impossible to make an effective blanket statement. That said, we hope this conversation gets the wheels spinning in your head so you can figure out the best way to utilize strength training to make some gains, stay injury free, and become a stronger athlete. Some topics, but not all! Muscle activation Glute activation Keeping injury at bay. Increase sets or increase weight? Heavy weight versus plyometrics. Lifting into race season. Athlete questions and comments. Band work. Upper body and core work; the benefit of keeping those strong for when you’re going hard on the bike! The mental letting go of a gym session as race season approaches. YAMES in the building: lifting on endurance day or hard day? High rep low weight vs Low rep high weight… Dynamic lifting…lift into box jumps! https://youtu.be/yEoYqDzj7oA
