recent sport scientists have been reserching the effects of weight training and come up with the following conclusions-
strength IS NOT A LIMITER IN ENDURANCE CYCLING PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the true limiters are metabolic, nueromuscular (which is best trained on the bike), psycologic ect.
UNLESS YOU ARE UNTRAINED... (in which any form of physical activity will provide adequite stress to continue positive adaption) there are NO STUDIES TO SHOW AN INCREASED CYCLING PERFORMANCE in ELITE LEVEL CYCLISTS---- go to WWW.CYLCINGFORUMS.com some of the world's most renowned sports scientists all agree on this topic
