Weight Lifting Mistakes that are Costing Me Watts (Fast at 41)

Outstanding Episode 👏- Aaron has excellent communication skills on top of his obvious expertise + Great camera shots & editing 👌😎

Hey Cam, tip. Get rid of those stupid Adidas shoes. They are throwing you off balance in the gym. Train in volleys or a similar flat shoe that will not influence your step. Hope that helps

Great video. With an ageing population and therefore a lot of ageing cyclists can you do a video on resistance training for over 60's. It is area neglected by trainers but incredibly important

We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. youtube.com/post/Ugkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdso… The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

Cam, in your DL and Lunge, add a slight squeeze and depression to shoulders during the movement. Slight chin tuck as well. Look at those elements in Aaron's examples in the video vs yours. This stabilizes your mid-spine better and thus the low back position Aaron was emphasizing. Protects the neck as well (important for cycling longevity!). Keep up the awesome work! Love the channel. Physio-troll out

Great stuff! I'm a 68 year old runner, but I still found plenty of pointers to improving my weight training.

Amazing video, thanks Cam! It can't be overstated how important strength training is for general health aswell as improving cycling performance!

Like it. Shows the importance of mirrors to see body shape during exercise. He demonstrated really well, particularly the all important back position. Showed the importance of cross exercising. Didn't expect to enjoy this so nice surprise.

Timely topic and thanks for sharing :D I have done a strength block this winter (just completed, 2 heavy legs days per week since October 2022) and these are my anecdotal observations: 1 - My average cadence have dropped a little... 2 - I had to dial back the intensity when on the turbo, proper strength training is fatiguing! ;) I did not reduce frequency, but duration and/or intensity in order to recover well. 3 - FTP (Ramp test) remain more or less unchanged (FTP testing during the strength block may not be "true" as I did carry more fatigue going into them). But I did feel stronger during a greater deal of the ramp but fell off more sharply towards the end/failure point. (Raised the floor but ceiling remained the same perhaps) 4 - 2-20min Critical Power (CP) increased. 5 - I might have been able to increase CP with dedicated time/training plan on the turbo vs time in the gym, but I appreciated the change! :) 6 - As I am 48years of age, the strength training provide many more health benefits outside pure cycling power :) Outdoor season is approaching, can't wait !! :D

Best weight training for cyclist video ever made. Thanks so much 🙏

The one exercise that ALWAYS makes you ache like sh-t is walking lunges they are a KILLER.....Great episode Cam.

Amazing wow your endurance levels will be hitting the roof i bet your sorry you didn't get into this fifteen years ago to day 41 is just a number love this mate a big thank you.

This guy is speaking sense! Everything I figured out myself over 20 years in the gym but with real clarity, purpose and great demo

Cam!! This was great. I love riding but typically don't allocate much time for weights/resistance training. Gives me some new ideas for future gym sessions :)

This fitness / training content is gold. Thank you for sharing.

Aaron seems like an absolute master 😇

This was an excellent video, and I've learned a few great tips. I also discovered that my current lunge technique and form is on point (I had a good teacher!) Keep up the great work, Cam. Cheers!

Thanks Cam! Love seeing deeper, more comprehensive information!

Very smart trainer. This is what you want out of a PT. Not your average gym bro

So useful - I'm going to get my PT to look at this!
