3) For every weight exercise you need to do the counter stretching exercise - this book seems pretty serious - I don't know enough to pick & choose and create my own program
4) You should not be doing leg exercises during biking season unless you haven't ridden twice that week - don't know why, although I ride 5 days and do gym on the other two
5) Consider calf exercises such as toe lifts - I'll look these up, but see answer to #3
6) Dump the behind the neck squat and do a dead lift instead - I might need to do this
7) Elbow out rows? Your arm and weight should be parallel to your body - I'm not sure what you mean
8) What about core exercises? What about ab exercises? - what are ball scrunches and reverse scrunches?
9) For flexibility consider yoga, not weight lifting - I wasn't looking at lifting to improve flexibility - that seems like a separate area - I do some stretching for that
