Couple of questions for posters here...

1) I like working with dead lifts, farmers walks, and squats. However, I feel like I'm not strength ing my hams as well as I should. I'd like to keep these balanced - any thoughts on how to help with that?
2) how about stronger calves - I've noticed this is an issue on a long ride, as my pedaling form starts to suffer.

One other thought: box jumps seem to have helped a lot on hills. Has anyone seen this, or could this just be a function of me not working on explosive power?

Great thread by the way
