Weightlifting
Interesting to see this article this week in the RoadBikeRider newletter:
Hmmm . . . the study was picked up by cycling physician Gabe Mirkin, M.D., who surmised in his e-zine: "Lifting weights with their legs left the subjects too sore to train most intensely on their more intense cycling days, and the faster you ride on your intense days in training, the faster you usually ride in races.
Strange that I've never seen this viewpoint before anywhere!
full article/newsletter is posted on the website at www.roadbikerider.com , really interesting coming from this group because they are normally huge proponents of winter strength training. Although they do back into still lift in the off-season, etc.
Guess the science is starting to back up RnP's viewpoints
