As a cyclist, you might think that spending more time on the bike is the only way to improve. However, incorporating strength training into your routine can significantly enhance your performance. Let’s explore some key exercises that can take your cycling to the next level.

Lower Body Power

1. Lunges: Target multiple muscle groups and address imbalances.
2. Squats: Build strength in quads, glutes, and hamstrings.
3. Deadlifts: Enhance climbing power by focusing on glutes and hamstrings.
4. Single-Leg Deadlifts: Improve balance and correct muscle imbalances.
5. Glute Bridges: Strengthen often-neglected glute muscles.

Core and Upper Body Stability

1. Planks: Boost core strength for better posture on the bike.
2. Renegade Rows: Enhance upper back strength for endurance rides.
3. Chest Press: Combine core and upper body work for climbing power.

Explosive Power and Endurance
