Hi Everyone,
Does anybody have any recommendations on lifts to increase my strength and stamina for mountain biking??
I’m in pretty decent shape right now – I’m in the gym 4-5 days per week and then I bike once or twice during the week (my other hobbies are rugby and climbing 14ers). I’d like to add in some cycling-specific lifts or even cardio circuits to make the most out of my time in the gym.
Any thoughts??

Sounds like you may need some recovery time to let your legs recover and gain strength. 😄 Later,

if you are going to the gym 4 to 5 times aweek and cycling 1 or 2 times aweek and have other hobbies sounds like to me you dont need anything else.

I can not express this enough regarding mtb strength training. Get your abs in good shape. Don’t neglect them. You will feel an amazing difference while riding! Best of luck.
