How much weight do you need to be lifting? Try checking the torque.
This is the time of the year when most riders are (or should be) gradually transitioning into some off the bike training, and although there still some (well, more than some) debate about it, one of the cross-training classics is weight lifting. But how much weight should one lift? Some argue that high weight/low reps is the way to go; others that low weight/high reps better mimics the demands of cycling. Most coaches, however, recommend a progressive combination of these approaches (for example, the plans laid out in Joel Friel’s Training Bible books).
