Why Strength Training is the Missing Link for Cyclists
The Roadman Cycling Podcast - A podcast by Anthony Walsh
Strength and conditioning (S&C) isn’t just for athletes—it’s essential for everyone. In this special Roadman Cycling Podcast episode, I share why I’m committing to S&C and why you should, too. After struggling with back pain on long rides, I realized strength training was the missing link.
Beyond cycling, S&C combats muscle loss, strengthens bones, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental health. Research even links it to a longer, healthier life. With insights from experts like Peter Attia and Andy Galpin, I’ll cover how to get started, common myths, and why resistance training is a game-changer.
