You could also be setting yourself up for injury doing weights after cycling as the muscular system loses strength, particularly in the back, which is prone to damage. Anyone performing deadlifts/exercises involving the back, from putting 50 miles into there erector spinae/back (weakening all the time) is on the road to injury.
i completely agree with this.
and i mean i guess im just being overly self conscious, the list of exercises is spot on with the majority of movements i already do... and i have always been told/taught to lift before doing cardiovascular work as well.
a lot of this is really similar to my training for rowing...im just kind of trying to cross over and continue to gain strength and get more lean for racing the bike, it has always been a training tool for rowing in the past.
but thanks for the help so far.
