I've been reading "The Book" recently, while planning next year's season.
In the Quadrant Analysis section, there is a reference to strength training, e.g weight training and how recent research suggests it may not be as beneficial for a cyclist as we think.
I'm looking at including some gym work in my plan but just wonodering if this is necessary now.
I might just do some basic core strength stuff minus the wight training bit & just focus more on the bike as opposed to what I did last year (3 / week in the gym).
Any thoughts?
