Hello
I'm trying to put a strength training program together to use at home. I only have dumbbells available, and don't want to go and buy a large expensive machine. So I want to keep it simple and easy.
My main purpose is actually not to get stronger and faster on the bike, but to have better chances to stay injury free, so I'm thinking on the back, but perhaps also on the knees.
I also want to train the upper body, that doesn't get much benefit from the cycling.
What exercises would you recommend for me?
Here are some of the exercises I'm considering:
-Lunges / single leg squat
-Bend over rowing / seasaw rows
-Rear latterals
-Saxon bends
-Lower trunk rotation
-Floor press / push ups
-Serratus crunch / curl ups
