Weight Training Article

Anger management? Instead of just engaging in a charming bit of ad hominem against me, why don't you address what I actually said?

Show me, and everyone else who is reading this, how cycling forces are high and how we therefore need to lift weights. Show us how hypertrophy in the gym is going to get us up a climb faster, boost your vo2 max, and increase your FT.

Friel and Allen are not sports physiologists, they are coaches, and there is a difference.

And since you mentioned Andy Coggan....why don't you ask him what he thinks of weight training in endurance cycling for anybody other than low fitness people.

I already know the answer since the topic has been discussed but please, do ask him and post the response here specifically to what I have shown in italic print.

You may say I engage in some holier than thou attitude, but your attitude here is that since you are a coach and I haven't been riding for 20 years, that my views are irrelevant.
