3/3/2020 8:39pm No it should make it better. The stronger you make the muscle the better. Just don't forget to strain the muscle in different ways. Your covering the strength aspect just make sure that your working on the stamina aspect. Farmers carries and pull up bar hangs help. Give it a try and let me know.

3/3/2020 8:31pm The magic cure is that there isn't one. You just have to put the work in at the gym and get really really comfortable on the bike. Majority of riders try and focus on the forearms and it will help, but that's not it. You have to make sure and train the other muscles in the arms as well. Let...

3/3/2020 12:04pm What we have done with a number of our XC guys is maintain the cardio vascular load. (Rowing, cycling, running, etc) we just stretch the sessions out a bit to accommodate for the longer races. We up the weight training a bit more.

3/3/2020 9:19am That's awesome! It does work for some people. How long do you fast for?

3/2/2020 5:19pm You are correct. Many people do train like this. Most people do it to either reset their gut or to burn stored fat. Most studies state that to increase the overall endurance and to trigger the right adaptations a constant state of high output is needed for no less than a hour. That is why you see more long distance...

Thanks so much for a serious answer. Totally makes sense and should keep me motivated and out of bed.. Calisthenics and mobility are all I need to hear. I can work on that with light stretching. You just gained a fan. I'm starting in the morning. Easy does it. #happymotoing, jere

3/1/2020 6:38pm I would focus more on a Calisthenic based program and work on mobility. Body weight is your best friend. This will keep the blood flowing to the muscles and maintain the muscles mass you already have. The mobility work will keep you limber and once you have recovered you will be setup to attack a harder program. I would stay...

3/1/2020 6:28pm You might try pull up bar hangs. Find you a pull up bar (fatter the better) and hang from it. Try and shoot for about 2 min at a time. Go for 3-4 sets. Also deadlifts with a conventional grip help with grip strength also. There are a number of workouts that can help with grip strength that I didn't...

3/1/2020 5:16pm Sprints are good for weight loss and your fast twitch muscle fibers. This will also increase the effectiveness of your nervous system. Long distance running will target your overall endurance and cardiovascular system. I would suggest a combination of both.

3/1/2020 5:05pm You want to shoot for both. Endurance is a major factor in the sport but you also need the strength for bike control. Focus on long cardio sessions like rowing, cycling, or running for endurance. Anything where you can elevate your heart rate and maintain for a prolonged period of time. For strength training we highly recommend circuit style training...
