I had a chance to read through your post on weight training. Nice post. Congratulations on the results, especially improving your climbing.

In reading your post what struck me was that your gains came mostly from high intesity training or HIT (makes sense as you're pulling up your FTP through vo2 max or Coggan L5 efforts); and from cutting back on strength training and adding more aerobic efforts (ie, time on the bike).

Given that how can you attribute your improved performance to weight training and not to adding more time on the bike or to the HIT sessions?

Maybe I read it wrong. Thanks.
