This routine is the third in a series of six off-season routines designed to increase strength and endurance in cyclists. Each routine lasts four weeks and divides the body into upper and lower body workouts. Three workouts are completed each week, rotating between upper and lower body. Week 1 works lower body on Monday and Friday, with upper body on Wednesday. Week 2 is the opposite of week 1, with upper body on Monday and Friday and lower body on Wednesday. Week 3 is a repeat of week 1, and week 4 is a repeat of week 2. Compared to cycle 2, this cycle varies the number of reps and weight per set to further confuse the muscles and build strength and endurance. In addition to these weight training workouts, complete three workouts a week of 45-60 minutes at a time on the bike.
