For those who like the big, compound lifts (squats and deadlift in particular), what is your typical set X rep? I've gained a lot of strength doing 5x5s during the cold weather season, but spring is in the air and I'm getting ready to start cycling regularly again. Would you recommend a higher rep? (Keep in mind, I'm trying to find a balance between being "harder to kill" and improving my cycling performance). In terms of the type of riding I do, 50-70 miles on the weekend is typical once I'm in shape, and I hope to do some 200Ks.
