That is completely false and incorrect. These exercises, when applied correctly, will serve an integral role for well over 90% of cyclists at least for some part of the training year. As noted in the video, I have some pro cyclists who are getting their butts handed to them by 2-3 of these variations. It’s not the exercises itself, it’s how you apply it within a program, and the outcomes you’re in need of from it for that specific individual that determines the effectiveness of an exercise. Good luck.
Its because you cycle doesn’t mean you have leg strength when it comes to resistance training idiot. The only strength you have is your heart thats it. Keep cycling and when you get older you get weak bones = broken hips then you die. Educate yourself stupid ✌️
Let’s keep it civil here please. There are a ton, and I mean a TON of misconceptions and misunderstandings about what strength training for performance entails. Not just in cycling, but across all sports. Most people don’t know what they don’t know.
A kettlebell Bulgarian split squat doesn't require a lot. I can deadlift close to 400 but can only split squat around 60 lbs kettlebell as my working set weight. Further- reverse Nordics require nothing and are incredibly taxing. Harder on my quads than a maxed out quad extension machine. And doing full pistol squats with a kettlebell of up to 50 or 60 lbs is easily on par or harder than doing a back squat with 200-300 lbs.
Nailed it! Posture, position, and intent have huge impacts on how much weight is needed to progress. Lots of different variables we can play with to make things progressively harder and rewarding. Sounds like you’re well on your way to some great performances!
Curious is you’ve ever done a proper progression with goblet squats? Using tempos, then banded, moving to working with double kb front rack squat? There are a lot of challenges to getting under the barbell, often times which pose less returns for riders. I am not disagreeing with you at all, just saying that the lead up to the barbell is longer than many think, and there’s a whole lot of benefits to the longer road to be explored…. Of course it depends on the rider in front of me. If someone can get great movement and positions I’ll move them towards and to the barbell quicker… it’s all relative. But hang tight for 2 weeks, I’ve got a barbell squat variations video coming out as well. Perhaps you’ll like that one more 😊
The barbell squat doesn't allow for max benefits? Compared to the four other variations you gave it's far superior. Or did you mean to imply that the barbell squat can be a detriment if not performed correctly so try these others first? That aside it appears you're using the correct vocabulary concerning musculature and movement, but I think you really missed a golden opportunity to discuss another foundational aspect. The first thing to do before squatting or prescribing any type of exercise is to perform a movement assessment. FMS or any other variation of muscle testing and function in order to isolate a potential problem area, aka dysfunction in the kinetic chain (which is what you're trying to reference). After assessment findings you can then progress from isolation to integration when the athlete is ready. The squat crosses the hip, knee, and ankle. The first place I screen is the ankle; can the athlete dorsi-flex properly? If not, is it a subtalar issue or simply tightness in the gastroc/soleous? Then I shoot to the hip, what does ROM look like there, etc etc. Now you have a blueprint for that particular athlete and can prescribe exercises accordingly. I completely agree that the athlete must first learn to perform the exercise correctly before adding external load.
It is not. It’s the software that blurs the background to allow focus on my instead of people or things in the background. It’s almost impossible to film when the velodrome is empty, as it’s always in use.

How many reps and series would you recommend for the goblet squats?is it more beneficial to do the squats following a bike session?Thanks
i think starting out with these are good but eventually barbell and weights are critical to any athletes training, or even general strength
Yes, eventually. As noted in the video for many riders it can be 2-3 years.

@@HVTraining id disagree but to each his own I guess, people should be getting under the bar as soon as they can. the benefits are too great

Boom
Can't say i have but might be a good idea too start. Need to get that mobility back honestly... I'm slacking
Can I help somehow?
@HVTraining I'll let you know. Old age is creeping on me haha. Really just need to get motivated to do it
Why do you pretend to be in a velodrome?
I am 100% filming in the velodrome.
Ok, it just looks greenscreen to me. 😅
It is not. It’s the software that blurs the background to allow focus on my instead of people or things in the background. It’s almost impossible to film when the velodrome is empty, as it’s always in use.
