How to: Strength routine for cyclists

For improved performance, health benefits and injury prevention, all cyclists should include strength work in their training routine. EIS strength and conditioning coaches Scott Pearson and Joe Hewitt demonstrate the key movements suitable for people new to strength work including goblet squats, lateral squats, stiff leg deadlifts and front planks. They also tell you how often to train and what numbers of sets and reps to perform.

How many reps would you do? I would guess you start at 3 reps and build up to 5?

That was not a stiff leg deadlift; that was a Romanian deadlift. There's a difference.
