A strong butt is your knees' best friend!
you offer some great advice. Any tips on how to strengthen the deep hip rotator muscles or glutes on and/or off the bike? I love the thought of doing lower body weight lifting, but this often leaves my legs too sore to ride or makes them even more sore after a day of hard riding. I'm doing Robbie Ventura's training dvds this winter which often have me pushing a hard gear at a low cadence. Do you think it's still necessary to do additional exercises too?
