Interesting and impressive to read all the workarounds due to closed gyms. I’m in the same boat - doing weight work at home with a couple of rusty dumbbells, a bench made with milk crates and a board and some tension straps. Like carbonfiberboy, I like goals. I keep a log of the daily training or exercise I do. I never look back at it but just doing it keeps me honest. Loads of science stresses the importance of weight training as we age. For me, once I established a routine of doing it, it feels unnatural when I skip it and things feel “off”. I’m not sure what the thread starter means by”a significant amount” of strength work, but I can’t see that it would take so much time that it would hamper your riding.
