Indoor cyclists and instructors, intent on finding ever-new ways to max out their indoor cycling to more of a full body workout, occasionally float the idea of using handheld weights or doing abdominal exercises during the ride.

Witchcraft. Si had corkscrews for calves before this. This video has to be deepfake lol. Keep up the strength work velo fam.
What’s the dumbell like 20 kilos?
um im pretty sure it’s 1
Doing this to prep for a show ��I will have to post a before & after! This is KILLER ������
hey, i just found your channel cause i wanted a pre workout warm up, and i really liked it. Do you have a ‘warm up’ for after the work out? if not, can someone link one under this comment? thnx!
Why no pushing exercise such as bench press, overhead press, military press, push ups, or dips?
It appears that bulgarian split squats, step ups and lunges are redundant. All three of them are good unilateral exercises that combine balance with strength, and work the same muscles pretty similarly, and none of them is as good for building overall leg and body strength as is the good old fashioned high bar squat.
I always thought that the dumbbell row and inverted row pretty much work the same muscles and that the inverted row is an exercise used to progress a pull up or chin up, i.e., the weakling’s chin up.
I am far from an elite biker, but I feel great glute activation and stronger on the bike a day after performing heavy dead lifts.
There are many great exercises, but if I had to choose five, they would be squats, dead lifts, bench press, overhead press, and pull ups.
Me too!! Lol I was just gonna ask about biceps..not too many exercises for biceps, humm…
That was crazy hard!! so quick, so hard (in the best way). you did an awesome job instructing too!!
i think mountain climbers make the most sense for cyclists and stepups i really dont think pistol squats do anything
Yay! Love this style! ���� Would love a bicep/tricep combo like this too!! ��
So those deadlifts are more of a “Romanian Deadlift” where you don’t really bend your legs very much. This can be good for hamstrings and lower back, etc., but a traditional deadlift you bend at the knees more and don’t use your back as much, focusing for a more balance of legs and back during the lift. Once you get to really heavy deadlifts you can really limit the weight you can lift, or even increase the chances of injury, by lifting really heavy weight without bending at the knees and relying so much on your lower back like this one. For cyclists though, this version is definitely good since it’s lower weight and will also give your hamstrings a boost which you don’t really focus on in pedaling.
How many reps of each would you suggest during base phase Coach Chad? Pistol squats, side planks, Spider-Man pushups, renegade rows, and deadlifts all on the same day?
During the “pistol squat” should I completely neglect controlling the eccentric phase like Chad demo’d.
The dumbbell rows work out triceps not biceps. That’s generally the case with any back workout as they are pulling exercises which also require a good grip.
For arms you want lean muscle with strength so stick to low weight do plenty of reps until muscle fatigue then drop weight and squeeze out the final few reps. Rest 2-3 mins then repeat 2 times.
Si: is your name Calvin Klein?
Ollie: no, why?
So: Cause it’s written all over your underwear….
And this video shows a great example, why a good MOUNTAIN BIKER is not a good WEIGHT TRAINER. “Oh during my CYCLING career I did touch a weight, so I am an expert for WEIGHT TRAINING”. Sure.
People will buy so much bullshit from “former athletes”. Want me to explain? Split squats are a STRENGTH exercise on one leg. No need to add even more instability. Also he lets the skinny guy stand way to close to the bench.
Step ups: Box is WAY too high. His back leg is doing way too much work and he descends way to quick and uncontrolled.
Why walking lunges? Cyclists use their knees a lot during their sport, use knee friendlier variants like the reverse lunge.
This is not a video to help, this is a promotion video to look “functional”. (Dont even get me started on the term “functional fitness”)
Natural sources have better proteins and show better results.
Chad this video was an eye opener and life changer. Thank You!
As an older guy my cycling has definitely benefitted from regular core, cardio and upper body strength gym routines. Nice video, keep it up guys and let’s see regular updates on your progress ������
This is awesome. I personally like to work out in a gym and was searching for a solid video on how to train in a gym and benefit my riding. Thank you for making this content!
I now can understand the man crush that Jonathan have with you Chad! jk
EXCELLENT EXERCISES.
God bless you sir. You are an eye opener.
The pistol squats would be far better if you paused at the bottom and didn’t bounce. If you can’t do that, they stay with bench pistol squats. Don’t show off and do dangerous bounce reps like this guy did.
Weak training. Benchpress, Squat,Deadlift, Military press and rowing + some small accesories.
Your coach may have nice hair but it is hard to see what this set of exercises would do for you that would not be better done with push ups pull ups and… cycling. The push ups and pull ups will develop the shoulders and core really fast improving your stability posture and general robustness and cycling will strengthen your legs.
Will trainerroad ever incorporate training other than biking (ie strength training) into the software?
My arms and shoulders were on fire! Just had to pause 2 times…..ugh:)
I spy the stanza fitness wifi password!!! oh you guys are so hacked!!
My way to do it is that I go everyday on my bike and go faster and faster and I go for 30-40 minutes on-road and 15-20 minutes off-road and then my body will get stronger for the cycling mode
Totally agree. jefferson deadlifts can be ecen more specific for cyclists.
1 legged squats are easier wgen you just bend the foot of the opposite leg towards the ass…a fuller range not dependent on hamstring flexibility..
How do I decide the weight of the dumbbell?.. after I am capable of doing the side plank:)… thanks a lot and greeting from a Dutch recreational cyclist
I really need this to get ready for our long long ride this upcoming summer
No speed gains in the world would make me want to be that small in the upper body.
In my experience is useful to add climbing in the routine of the week.
Do you pump iron to help you ride faster? Which exercises do you prefer? Let us know in the comments below ��️♂️
“It’s about getting stronger.. Hop-hopefully..” the story of my life
You guys need to eat some double double cheeseburger daily! You need more protein
Why are we cyclists so skinny? Never heard a real scientific answer to this, some explanations??
I’ve watched a few of your vids and wow, NICE WORK.
I just broke my collar bone. Please share some rehab recommendations.
Many thanks.
Steven A.
Pistols are bad for ur knees. Don do them. Backsquat does the same thing
Andre greipel does real squats and he doesn’t look like a weakling
these presenters have much better chemistry than the new people.
With the single leg squat, I would watch that your knee doesn’t go past your ankle too far. Thanks for the great ideas to add to my training!
Both of you, eat and lift. Those arms look not too healthy:-)
Is there a programme anywhere that incorporates these exercises that I could use or adapt?
Cheers Lads. Thought I’d do the Bulgarians and power step after the 20 mile commute to work. I’m walking like f**king John Wayne this morning and have a tough 50 miler tomorrow
If only the idiots at the gym I go to would realize that lifting to only get bigger is a joke. You go in the weightroom and everybody starts off with either arm curls or bench presses. Actually the girls/women tend to do things better except a huge percentage of the girls are trying to get a big ass. It would be funny to see them in a real weightlifting gym where mirrors are non-existent, they couldn’t function. Its much more impressive to see a human power a bicycle down the road or up a hill then to watch Mr. Biceps strut by, nothing athletic about overly large muscles. Oh and I almost forgot, especially the guys who always where long sweats because their arms are twice as big as their legs. I guess when you walk around on sticks it makes your arms look bigger. Have a nice day.
My gym related body dysmorphia disappeared after watching this and I no longer feel like a scrawny dyel at 85kg.
Beast on the bike? Or in the gym? Shame we can’t have both! ��������
What? 4/5 exercises were for legs. It’s our upper bodies which are a wasteland. In the meantime, I’ll be flexing my massive pectorals. ����
Well I know at my age..70.. I cannot do some of those as I would fall over. Maybe a set of exercises for us age challenged.
Serious question: Are Simon and Ollie changing with holding the camera for filming the video?
Maybe it would be a good idea to include a pushing exercise for the upper body to create some muscle balance as all upper body exercises are pulling.
If you work around your 6-8 rep max you’ll put on mass = weight…
I think I could put my thumb and forefinger around their biceps ��
I did this with 3 pounds and am literally dead my arms are burning an insaneeee amount
Bulgarian Split squat is about the worse exercise you can do for your knees. Rubbish for a cyclist.
Another reminder that riding a bike for exercise is for people who can’t/won’t lift, run, or do more challenging workouts that produce real results. Cycling should be in the recreational-only category.
whats that dumbell like 20kilos?
umm i’m pretty sure it’s one LOL
The plank. That exercise is excellent for core fitness. 6 reps of 45 seconds. Form over time.
Essential cyclist exercises and these two have obviously never done them. Guess not so essential.
Way too many kiss ass comments on this video. “Ooh they’re so funny.”, makes me want to vomit.
You guys are absolutely hilarious, love it �� another great vid!
Hi Gcn!
When you im the video say, for exemple, 6 Sets (6-8 Reps on each side)
Is 6 Sets on each side or 6 in total?
On the step up don’t help by pushing on the foot that’s on the floor, all the work is done by the leg on the box
Hold on. His knee was well forward on those Bulgarians that wasn’t good form and if I could see it why didn’t the trainer adjust
The level of humour here is wonderful. Ollies timing is near perfect. Best gym video I’ve seen.
0:24 spiderman pushups
0:44 pistol squats (and progressions)
1:17 side plank
1:26 side plank lateral raise
1:52 deadlift
2:08 planking rows
on the last exercise, got to love Si goes down to pick up a heavy weight and comes up with a lite weight. lol
Wow, guys with arms smaller…er… more “ripped” than mine.:)
Im quite surprised about so skinny guys )). You guys definitely need work on your upper body. Get more gym!
Come on a squat down to the heel? I’m riding for fun and health. And I will never earn a living from cycling. I will still want my knees in good condition
I have to start working on pistols, I did want to ask about kb swings and kb work in general
Good looking gym and the trainer totally in tune with how to explain each exercise. Good one!
Step up is a good exercise but for a beginner that box is way too high. As you will see Ollie is pushing off the foot on the floor which is not the point of the exercise. Another ‘Pro’ trainer on YouTube not correcting bad from.
This is when I really wish Emma was still on GCN. Nothing more fun than watching here school Ollie and Si, though they do tend to good sports about getting humiliated
How many times per week would you recommend doing these exercises and also how many reps and sets would you recommend to begin with to build upon please???
Try some step ups without using your ankle on the bottom leg. ie. your heel should leave the floor after the ball of your foot. See how much you may need to compensate with the leg that you aren’t focussing on (the bottom leg) for the exercise at the beginning of the movement.
Doing the step up with the described movement could help get better strength at the end of range of your hip and knee extensors.
i found myself reaching for the Round Up during this…………..i went to click on Ollie’s guns at the end, but kept missing
I do appreciate this video but I really would love to see one on proper stretching. It seems there are so many opinions on the proper way to do so and GCN seems to be a good authority are there any GCN videos on stretching already?
Nothing about (right) breathing, which is very important part of exercising.
Been doing this every day for a week, starting to see results!!!
I get that these are gym exercises, yet it would have been really helpful to show an “at home” version for the ones that require gym equipment.
#askGCNtraining I recently completed a 100 mile ride and my legs etc have pulled up really well BUT my wrists, hands and forearms are knackered. I’m finding it hard to even turn the keys in my car ignition. I’m not weedy; I curl 20kg and bench 60kg. Would this be caused by poor position on the bike? I spent around 150km on the hoods and 10km on the tops. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Wow i really felt this one in my shoulders! But i loved it ��
Literally just put a plan together for this exact thing. Short power build plan is a lil much for my regular lifting plan so this is my sub til it’s over.
GCN presenters are not ripped because guns are banned in the UK.
“Deadlift the movement is quite simple”… yes, in theory. In practice, it’s one of the most complex forms of exercise. If you wanna do it correctly, obviously. Good video!
For the discussion you guys should talk about sickness before get on the bike during and after you get off. I did a 100k fundraiser ride about 3 weeks ago. The first week after that ride I got a minor cold. The second week after the ride I got the stomach flu (diorrehea and upset stomach. The 3rd week what I can only explain as horrible gas pains along with the diorrehea. I am wondering if I went so far into exhusten that my immune system had a miniature failure. I just think it is a good topic because it helps you listen to your body more.
TrainerRoad, Please incorporate Workouts other than cycling into TrainerRoad. Please!!!
Great video #GCN team! My strength training helps a lot in my cycling and running. I will like to recommend you a book that is a great guide for me: Cycling Anatomy
by Shannon Sovndal. If somebody else also loves running I will recommend this one: Running Anatomy by Joe Puleo and Patrick Milroy. Both books not only describe in nice detail the muscular anatomy, and how each muscle (or group) is used in each sport, but they also suggest workouts to improve their performance. Keep up with the good work guys! Cheers!
Really great workout..practise it for some years…good for wattage bazooka
Awesome to have Si back doing serious videos!! Love ya mate!! ������
Why would I listen to the overweight girl in black for fitness ideas? now that’s crazy!
