Why Are "General Fitness" Style Strength Training Approaches Causing Cyclists To Get Injured Lifting Weights & To Not See Results In Their Riding?
According to numerous scientific studies the use of heavy weights offers cyclists a number of benefits:
- Increased Bone Density
- Improved Power Output
- Higher Lean Body Mass
- Better Efficiency in Sport
But most cyclists are missing the improvements in their riding for 2 reasons:
1. They are following a general fitness strength training program, often focusing only on their legs and "core", mostly ignoring the upper body.
2. They are constantly getting too sore from their strength training, which steals the energy the body needs in order to repair itself from resistance training and riding.
The Restrictions of Scientific Research Studies
Research is absolutely critical in learning how to improve human performance, but a researchers job is to eliminate as many factors as possible, to study one small thing at a time... But in real life, you have to know how to blend everything safely for the rider in front of you.
Blindly following the scientific studies that have shown us "lifting heavy helps cycling performance" without knowing how to safely assess your rider and appropriately build a highly effective program that is both time and energy efficient, leads to cyclists being "too sore to ride", too tired to get any quality riding in, or worse- injured from strength training.
Having a cyclist, who has not done any kind of heavy resistance training for months on end through the season, perform a 1 rep max, 5 rep max, or any rep max test, opens them up to an extremely high risk of injury due to their bones and tissues not being prepared to handle those stresses.
But what most cycling coaches and trainers are unaware of, is that these kinds of "assessments" or "test" are almost completely unnecessary to build a highly effective strength training program for cycling results.
This course teaches you how to build a truly cycling-specific program that not only improves on-bike performance, but also off-bike posture, breathing, and strength...
All done with assessments that are movement-quality based allowing you to better understand the riders movement strategies so that you can add weights to movements in ways that give the riders the biggest return on their time, effort, and energy, without making them any more tired or sore than they absolutely need to be...
Which is usually little to none at all, leaving them fresh enough to train hard where it matters most- on their bike!
As cyclists we all learned that in order to get better at riding, you need to ride through the pain and push our limits. In fact, it's almost impossible to meet a cyclist who has not learned how to suffer on the bike.
But when this mentality is brought into the strength training approaches and trainings, it is destructive, leading to excessive tissue breakdown in the body, leaving your rider sore, tired, and having a hard time to finish any kind of ride with quality...
Leading to loss of riding fitness, poor recovery, crankiness, fatigue, lower sex drive, and loss of desire to train...
It's no wonder most cyclists start training when the weather is awful outside, and drop it as soon as it's nice!
Until recently, this endless cycle seemed doomed to repeat itself for cyclists year after year... but now...
The Concurrent Training Approaches Taught in the Strength Training for Cyclists Certification Course are a Potent Modern Approach for PROTECTING your clients against Lower Back Pain, Hip Pain, Knee Pain, Upper Back Pain, and other common aches as Well as BOOSTING Power Numbers, Energy, Recoverability Between Efforts, Posture, Breathing, And Confidence FAST...

Yes!
The Strength Training for Cyclists Certification covers everything from the foundations of strength training, all the way up to the exact special needs and demands that must be taken into account for cyclists to see in-sport improvements from their strength training.
The course itself is around 8 hours long.
However there are additional resources, which if you choose to dive into, can add more time- it's up to you!
The course is self paced, and while you could complete it in a single day, we recommend no more than 1 module (chapter) a week, which is between 1-3 hours, as there is a lot of information to absorb.
You'll also want to take some additional time to apply and practice what you've learned.
Yes, There is an 3 month Inner Circle Program, which allows a small group of students to have live monthly group video calls with Coach Brodie, where he answers your questions, and gives you an even deeper insight into strength training for cyclists.
There is also a private group for those students to interact & ask questions.
Technically, yes, but it depends.
Coach Brodie does offer 1 on 1 Mentorships which last 6 months. However these spots are extremely limited, and available only when Coach Brodie's current Mentees complete their 6 months.
While this often coincides with the opening of enrollment for the Certification, it's not always the case.
