I'm from Uganda mi and my coach use it for training 3hrs or 4hrs + but it's good for training

I use this in my training, 20 x 1 minute on 1 minute off in the aero position... It definitely helps.

Been doing this training 50-60km a day 6x a week for a month now at 42x11 using a hybrid bike and i noticed my str endurance improved a lot. Im now considering of changing my chainring to 48T. Question, will this training also improve hill climbs?

I'm 66 and training for my first Ironman. Not done much specific bike training other than doing longer distances and more climbing. Could this be useful for a person my age?

I’ve always heard “higher cadence” but that doesn’t seem to work for me. This has me intrigued!

As a 110-130 rpm cyclist, my leg gets hurt so much and super tired

3:10 Bullshit, if you wanna build big muscle need to combine low cadence&powerlifting. Not just gym.

I have different thoughts about this...

Just use 40-45 rpm till you get tired of it, (forget any range greater than 65)don't try to rush anything with time and consistency you get stronger. + powerlifting

Just my observation, it looks like your saddle is too high, pelvis rocking, toes down, knee angle....
