For some cyclists lifting weights forms part of the yearly training plan, being a useful method of increasing muscular strength particularly in the off-season.

Weight Training for Cyclists shows cyclists how they can make the most from weight training. This revised second edition features information on core strength, nutrition, stretching and warm-up, backed up with easy-to-follow drawings.

“With the latest research on strength building buttressed by the most recent and effective equipment innovations, Weight Training for Cyclists presents a series of training plans that require only a fraction of the time that cyclists spend in the saddle. For newcomers and veterans alike, Weight Training for Cyclists will become their fundamental guide to better performance.”
