In this video I will share my 12 week training experiences, which has left me stronger ion the bike than ever before, at the age of 41. The four major shifts in my cycling include: structured training with a focus on working through zones, starting with sustained efforts; a change in the way I approach the gym for cycling performance; a complete cycling nutrition overhaul, and a change in bike fit - notably crank length to 165mm cranks - via bike fit guru Neill Stanbury.

Studies worth referencing (from Aaron's point of view):

Variable resistance training (the band addition to the deadlift) https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/fu...

Avoiding hitting failure in a set so we don't have an extended recovery period following gym https://link.springer.com/article/10....

Adding an extra set or two to increase volume because we are not training to failure helps overall strength outcomes https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...
