Off-season is my low cadence time. Of course, it's also weight room time. I've cut the weights back to a couple days a week now, concentrating on squats, deadlift, stiff leg dead lift and lunges. There's a mix of low cadence, less than 50 at FTP and a bit higher, with high cadence 110+ Z3. Both also incorporate position changes including drops hoods and tops. Low cadence include standing drops. Tractor Pulls are a hell in themselves, and will come later in the off-season. I think it's important to consider weights before messing too much with low cadence, because I believe they go hand-in-hand.

Well there's certainly plenty of merit if your rides involve 20%+ climbs.
