I'm 6-0, 160 lbs, and have basically no upper body strength. so kicker is basically the only thing I can play.
So a question- will the isometric & plyometric exercises that I will have to do to improve my kicking strength improve my cycling sprint at all? Will I overdevelop my fast-twitch muscle at the cost of my slow-twitch aerobic capacity? If I had to choose between road racing & football, I'd still go with the bike...
Thanks in advance for your input!
The varsity jackets sure are cool though!
