Strength Conditioning Plan

12 Week S&C Plan

About

Why this program? The internet is awash with online strength and conditioning programs. This program has been specifically designed for cyclists. Most online strength and conditioning packages are purely designed with general hypertrophy in mind, meaning that you will get strong and possibly quite big, but that strength will not translate to strength on the bike.

What You Get

  • You will get a level of exercise variation that is unrivalled in the cycling strength and conditioning world.
  • Each session logically progresses from the previous session, building on the base foundational movement patterns and integrating variation and challenges week on week.
  • These sessions are designed to keep you engaged, focused and excited to work out.
  • You will learn the correct form for every exercise.
  • Your strength gains will help with resilience to injury.
  • As a by-product of this you will start to look ripped without getting to bulky.
  • You will increase your bone density, which is super important for Masters Cyclists.

Who Is This For?

  • Men and women who want to be the strongest they can be on the bike.
  • Riders who want to bullet proof their body and become more injury resilient.
  • Riders who want an intelligent strength training program designed specifically for cyclists.
  • Riders who do not necessarily have access to a full gym and want to work out at home/ while travelling and with a minimal amount of equipment.

How It Works

The program is managed within our FTP Training HUB. Accessing this 12 week plan is included in your CLUB membership where you will get access to the HUB where the session outlines, videos and detailed descriptions of each exercise are laid out in an easy to follow format, along with pdf downloads each week.

“It goes without saying that time on the bike is needed and it will improve your leg strength and aerobic capacity, but that is only one part of the story.”

If you are in the base phase of training, or more than 8 weeks away from your ‘A’ priority race, then prioritise the strength sessions. For example you may end up doing a ride and a gym session in the same day, then complete the gym session first.

If you are in the build phase of training, or under 8 weeks until your ‘A’ priority race then prioritise your key riding sessions first during the week, then do the strength sessions as second priority. What this means is that more often than not you will be doing these gym sessions with some level of fatigue in the legs. But what it does mean is that you should be fresh enough to hit the hard sessions on the bike with the intensity they require.
The session can be rolled over to the next week, complete the next session when you can, rather than jumping ahead.

Absolutely yes. This training plan has been specifically designed so that you don’t need a gym or expensive equipment to complete them.
