But then you have to do something for your back, which the press doesn't touch. For me, squats have made a bigger difference for my back than my legs, as far as cycling is concerned. Hyperextensions holding a barbell are really good, as is the usual gym back machine. Load it up. Hyperextensions also work the posterior chain, while the back machine, done with well bent legs, works the whole leg.

I used to think that heavy back work might hurt my back, but the opposite has been the case.
