Strength Training is no longer "new" to cyclists and triathletes... Head out on nearly any group ride or masters workout and you're bound to hear others talking about their strength training, or at least something they've read about strength training for their sport. 

When it comes to strength training there is far more to it than the mechanics... In this episode we talk about the 4 Phases of Strength Training that nobody talks (or even thinks) about, yet has massive impact on what results you may get.

Surf on any social media page or even on popular fitness blogs, and they'll sell you the idea that in order to get to high performance you need to do some crazy complex workout program. Oh, and don't forget the ego boosting or busting super complex exercises that get tons of likes on Instagram and Facebook (Hello high box jump and heavy squat and deadlift!). 

But if you're after real performance enhancement, and peak performances, it's actually a very different story. 

You can't handle the truth! Because it's way simpler than those great liars...(errr marketers), tell you it is. -Hat tip to Seth Godin on this one.

The title says it all: Nobody asked me to share these concerns, but this is an episode I've been thinking about doing for over a year now. And, well.... it seems that the time is right for these concerns to be shared so that we can all begin having important discussions about them.

There are not definitive answers given, just some observations from some guy who's been in and around the fitness and performance industries for a bit.

Don Larkin is a strength coach based in Harrisburg, Pa, who has been working with endurance athletes of all ages and abilities for over 10 years. We sat down with Don to talk about how to be a more savvy consumer of information and "advice" that we see given online every day, that can lead us astray from what we actually need, or need to be focusing on. Questions covered include:

And perhaps most importantly, the critical skill of building a quality network of professionals with complimentary skillsets, and not hesitating to refer out.

This one's a great one!

Vern Gabetta has been coaching for over 50 years, and has penned more than 10 books on the subject. Over that time he has seen many fads and popular approaches come and go, all the while continuing to build strong, resilient athletes and human beings under his guidance. In this episode, Vern shares some of his wisdom on becoming a better coach, helping us understand the difference between statistical significance and coaching significance. 

We dive into the world of "specialization" and discuss whether it's helping us push training forward, or perhaps not having as big of a positive effect as we would think, and some various ways to help us learn more about movement, the human body, and how to develop strong, healthy, and lifelong athletes. 

This is a great episode that you won't want to miss!

This weeks episode is a short one, as I share the focus for 2022:

Instead of more (books read, content produced) We're going to go deeper, and re-read some of the most influential books read, re-take the best courses, and produce a few new courses ourselves. 

It's not minimalism, but rather the ability to dig 8 inches wide, and go 5 miles deep.

When it comes to making cyclists stronger on the bike via strength training, it's important to look at strength training from a different lens. Chris Peden does that...but he wasn't always a cyclist- far from it in fact.

In this episode Chris Shares his experiences that brought him to cycling a bit later in his athletic career, how he views strength training for endurance athletes, and some fantastic insights to help you get far more from your strength training, rather than just more weight on the bar or more reps. 

This one's a fantastic one!
