there’s some differences between biking and gym in terms of whole body strength and flexibility

Why you gotta dunk on cardio like that?! Seriously if there’s one thing my recent focus on cardio has taught me it’s that more folks who focus on strength need to spend time on cardio. Seriously it greatly reduces your recovery time and gets to where you just need to take micro breaks to recover enough for the next rep/set and can therefore lift longer and more frequently meaning you can get more reps and sets in the same amount of time. Last year I had a few sessions with a trainer because I wanted to work on some upper body strength and the trainer was visibly weirded out by my recovery time, where I’d only need 30-60 seconds between sets and they actually said “hey you can rest longer” and I’m just like “nah I’m good now let’s go!” (It was also funny when doing some leg exercises seeing how I could do 4x as much weight pushing with my legs as I could lifting with my legs) Anyways I’d literally finish the 1 hour session in just 45 minutes thanks to the quick recovery times
