Cycling & Weights

[Joobs]

Hi all,
So my question is this.

Can I do weights to add to my cycling fitness and enhance my performance and not compromise what I have already built on.

If so what would you suggest?
Light and high reps?

Thanks folks!

[badly_dubbed]

yes.

I race road and mtb and also lift weights.

totally opposite of light and high reps.

always go heavy ( i do 3 sets of 5 reps)

brutal squats are a bikers best friend.

Really! Do you find your endurance is ok though?
Also do you just mainly work legs with heavy weights. I guess you do your top half too?

[badly_dubbed]

full body. i miss no parts out

my endurance is fine and regularly road cycle upwards of 70miles.

i focus on

squat
deadlift
weighted chinups
benchpress
weighted dips
bent over row
overhead press

big compound movements. no light weights no silly high reps either.

I train my endurance by cycling(doh!),walking and sprinting (yes sprints help endurance believe it or not!)

Alright cool. Cheers for the info.
