Thanks for the responses guys - very helpful!
As I said, I don't compete in either of them so I guess I will continue to do both and accept the fact I'll probably progress slower than I'd like in both. If I had to choose a higher priority, I'd say the lifting is higher.. but only by a fraction.
Silverback, at the moment I'm hitting the weights 3x a week Mon, Wed and Fri. Then do a 60km ride on Saturday morning and sometimes another 70-80km ride on Sundays depending on how I feel. I live in the northern suburbs of Sydney so there's a lot of climbing involved. I don't race but I'm not (that) slow.
Lozzo, from a weights perspective, I'm looking to gain at least 10kg of muscle and maintain a weight of 90kg. This is considered HEAVY in the cycling world
and makes a big difference to climbing speed (although I might be quicker descending
)
Kyle I like the idea of explosive lifts. And I also only do front squats at the moment. Haven't done a back squat for months.
TGM, sprint cycling really isnt my thing. I've tried sprint training before but it was too intense haha and find myself more of an enduro type of rider. I guess it wouldnt hurt to try again. Thanks for the info
