will implement this in my routine. 2 min 20 sec on the clock for a first try with legs to close together, goal is to at least double it. But first I am flying to Scotland not to chase the coach but celebrate new year at stone haven and climb a few hills. Stay Healthy
If the height of the bench on bulgarians is too high it will put too much of a stretch on the supporting leg and less load on the driving leg. Rather use a lower bench and elevate the front leg slightly. You will get more knee bend but less hip stretch on the back leg. Unless your goal is a hip strech 😅
So that is completely wrong. There are numerous studies that endurance athletes get better results with strength training. There are numerous papers from every discipline that show this. Am not going over all the reasons why but two key reasons are greater enhancement of nuero-muscular efficency, and for age group athletes, once you're in your mid-thirtties you start losing muscle. If you're fifty or older you should really be strength training your entire body. Every good coach or training program includes strength training specific to the discipline and typically, like coach does here, adresses common weaknesses in typical athletes i.e. closed hips and lack of activation of glutes and hamstrings. You go coach, good routine.
The only thing I stretch on the sofa is my stomach, eating crisp😅 Going past neutral on a calf raise pits you into an ecentric muscle movement. I.e. loading your calf as it stretches. It also stretches and strengthens the Achilles tendon. Runners do this routinely as running loads muscles while they are being stretched. But if you aren't a runner and only a cyclist I dont know that it would matter either way.

Hey coach, how do I get the snazzy "Bulletproof Cycling" team kit I've seen on Training Peaks Virtual?? Merry Christmas btw!!
The new microphone setup sounds great.
Thanks coach, you are amazing. Last week I put "pedal power" Workouts on the wishlist. And boom. Xmas comes and you deliver. Fantastic
Love the shirt😂
Thanks coach, ready to implement. Love your videos

Merry Xmas coach :)
looking good coach..
Great info I needed. But my squirrel brain hasn't found the tip at end mentioned at 0:30 a drill to do before a ride to activate muscles..
Looks great thanks!

Strength is needed for sprinting. Everything else is limited by energy supply to the muscles and removal of waste products like co2 and lactste
Wrong. Ask Mo Farah before the Oregon project.

Looks a great way to stength

When should I do intervals (some low cadence)? Bike only day or bike+strength day?
shouldnt we do calf raises on sofa for max stretch?
or something else that can lead to better stretch at the bottom of the movement?
or i just watched too much of bodybuilding?
