If you suffer from a sore lower back, aching shoulders or knee pain on long rides.
If your performance has reached a plateau that you cannot break out of.
Or if you want to be able to ride faster for longer.
Then you need to try gym based strength training.
Many cyclists avoid gym training due to the fears of bulking up, losing aerobic fitness or not knowing the best thing to be doing in the gym.
These fears are completely unfounded as turning yourself into a hulked up body builder takes a lot of a specific type of lifting and many hours in the gym. Research shows that well planned strength training can be extremely beneficial for cyclists.
While some cyclists dabble in a bit of core work or use the gym only as a last alternative if the weather is to bad to ride the results that get from this are normally limited or result in injury largely due to two reasons.
1) They have been doing the same low weight, high rep exercises over and over again (often for years) and the body no longer responds to it.
2) The training they do in the gym does not complement their on the bike training phases which more often than not leads to a decrease in on the bike performance or injury.
Strength training can improve cycling performance in two ways, directly and indirectly
A direct performance improvement is a result of improving the muscles contractile properties and neural activation resulting in a more forceful contraction.
An indirect performance improvement occurs from adaptations such as improved posture, core stabilisation and ligament strength making athletes more structurally 'robust'. This results in cyclists being able to undergo higher training loads on the bike without structurally breaking down, being uncomfortable or becoming injured.
Ideally cyclists need both of these aspects in their training plan to maximise their performance. The things cyclists often struggle with is how to combine these different types of training into their programme so it does not negatively impact their on the bike performance.
Strength Training for Cyclists integrates both the research proven indirect and direct performance models into a systematic and easy to follow plan so you can maximise your cycling no matter if you are just starting or have been riding for years.

I found the strength plans from Matty at Exponential Performance Coaching to be really beneficial and complementary to my goals on the bike. I gained significant core strength which helped with overall stability on the bike. The exercises were all tailored to be specific to cycling and my weaknesses there. The plans were designed well with detailed instructions, lots of variety and weekly progression included.

Working in the gym over the winter has really helped to strengthen the weak areas and work to build on the rest. A bonus for my dedicated gym sessions over winter has been to become pain-free from a niggly permanent injury I have had for 20 years. Since everything is taken into consideration for your training the most important benefits to me have been improved riding, increase in overall strength, the want for more gains and more knowledge and most importantly I’ve found cycling more enjoyable.
