Since we talked about timing as it relates to training last week, this time is all about the timing of strength training/weight lifting for cyclists as it’s the perfect time to get started on that. In this episode, Coach Frank breaks down the FasCat 10-week strength training for cyclists training plan, and how to use it most effectively. We discuss:
- The fundamentals of our strength training philosophy and the three main exercises for this program
- The 4 phases: Adaptation > Hypertrophy > Strength > Power
- What to expect going through the plan and how to approach each week
Don’t get behind the curve and start strength training when it’s too late!

I noticed dramatic improvements in my balance when I began using the board. Track stands at stoplights, and improved technical skills on the mtb I all attribute to using the balance board!
Ideally 15 minute warm up before and 15 minute cool down before.
If it’s an advance plan where you are riding as well as lifting on the same day I would do the ride second. Good to get the legs going in circles after weights.
