This workout schedule is for an expert mountain biker racer who needs to keep up his/her fitness in the off-season and balance the muscles that riding doesn’t use. First of all you need to understand what we’re trying to accomplish with these exercises. We don’t want to build a lot of bulk or shorten the muscles. We want to build strong, toned muscles to sustain long periods of riding and possibly running (on super hard climbs). To do this we need to do more reps with less weight. When you do just 3 or 4 reps with lots of weight you shorten your muscles and build bulk. “The high rep approach strengthens muscles without adding much bulk. Strength is good, but extra body weight isn’t desirable for hilly cross-country racing.” Ned Overend Flexibility is another thing to consider.
