@mackowiak_h @MedBonnevie What about a half squat loads the knee more, than say a front squat, which for many cyclists may prove to be a far better training tool than the traditional back squat? Lots of considerations to be made, however, if one has full ROM for a squat, I say use it, when appropriate.

@MedBonnevie Other option here is to do a de-load week, backing off of the load by 20-35% and keeping 2* a week... There are way more variables to consider here.

@MedBonnevie It depends. However, there is one common theme that guarantee the desired end results: focus on quality of each movement, not on load moved. Some load would most likely be required, but it varies significantly.

@chechito_07 @MedBonnevie You'll need to decrease load and significantly change the focus of your strength program from weight to the quality of movement,that is, if you'd like to continue to see improvement in your on bike performances.

@mackowiak_h @MedBonnevie Sorry mate, but full ROM squat does NOT mean less injury prone. It totally depends on the individual, and their abilities to maintain neutral spine, good breathing patterns, and move from the hip as main driver. Gotta see the entire athlete, not a range of motion exercise.

@runrun121 @MedBonnevie Uhhhh you're missing a HUGE amount of the aspects of strength training being Neurological. Not necessarily metabolic. In fact, for most cyclists we need to program strength so it doesn't interfere with the metabolic main drivers. Great perspective for cycling; misses for strength

@MedBonnevie Unfortunately, these studies, while great to get cyclists to finally start strength training completely misses the fact the entire body works together as a system.... This is very leg focused, and misses a whole host of important factors. Well composed though- great job on that!

September is the golden opportunity for cyclists to start strength training. An opportunity many cyclists ignore. I'm opening my Big Gear Blueprint program to 10 cyclists looking for their best season yet Send me a message if interested.
