Endurance Lifting Day #3
Today's workout is your opportunity to address muscular imbalances and weaknesses that you have discovered during Day #1 and Day #2. Every athlete has muscular weaknesses that need to be addressed in training to achieve optimal results. The issue of muscular imbalance is equally important. Muscular imbalances, left unattended, can cause soft tissue and joint injuries and undue strain on the supporting joints and muscles that you use to power the bike. Weak abdominal muscles, for instance, can cause undue low back strain and make riding very uncomfortable. A strong inner thigh muscle can cause lateral stress in the knee joint under load. Day #3 is used to address these imbalances and strengthen muscles that need extra work. Follow the Endurance Lifting Program guide for the specific exercises and volume of the workout.
