Awesome. As an elite roadie over 20yrs ago and alot of k's under the seat. We used to do ankle stabilising training even while out on the road, very important.
Thanksf or the tips. The excersise you mentioned for foot stability is what others had recommended me as I have pre-artritis in my ankles, flat feet, bone spur :). Doing those during brushing had helped reduced pain.
Hi Scott: Great video again - just adding this to my weekly training (to fully dial in my efficiency to crazy levels) - really looking forward to Part 2 to get real power :)
Thanks Donald - going to drop in a video that outlines a great workout that advances this session tomorrow. Then I’ll share some BFR work doing this drill (and others )
Very sympathetic! And super experienced. You have the help of a fantastic DNA that should not be ignored! Keeping track of the pelvis is probably the root of success, I suspect!
Hi Scott. Interesting video! 4 years ago I started standing on one foot while brushing my teeth. Not for cycling ( I am 68 and a lifelong cyclist) but for my new adventure, taekwondo. Gaining ankle support/strength for "tiger stance". I enjoy your beneficial videos!
Very Informative. My trainer gave me an exercises standing one leg on bosu ball flat side up for building ankle stability because he said similar to you about power delivery through ankle, which I had not heard of before. Rocking foot forward and aft (extending and contracting archilles) and leg swings while passing small object under leg as from one hand to the other as the leg is raised on each foot.
When younger, I rode 10 and 12 speed bikes from very young into my 30s. In those days, I could average over 20 miles per hour for the entire ride 20-35 miles for our chosen routes. We went "all out" all the time. Jumping to today, with so many tools, teachers etc. it's becoming clear to me, I must figure out how to train/ride smarter. I'm 67 now. Probably won't get back to averaging above 20 mph but I'm betting I can improve above my current average of 14 mph (outside). I'll be following you, perhaps more than any other online coach to improve my power, threshold and so on. Can't wait to see where I've progressed by spring 2024.
Wonderful video! I have progressive MS and still just about manage 40mins on the spin bike daily, although my hip flexors are weak as hell, and my right leg rotates inwards a lot, so my form probably looks laughable to a pro, but hey I'm still pushing it hard as hell and will try to implement these techniques in future.
Thanks Kevin - you have 5 years on me 👍 I have 30 years to share - just need to work out cameras etc a bit better. Just fixed a sound issue and felt like I won a race 😂😂😂
Excellent exercises. Interesting as a XC SKI instructor, where teaching balance and posture, I teach the exact off the bike exercises to my students and ask them to balance exercise when they brush their teeth too!
Inline skating (on bigger wheels) outside also greatly improves : ankle stabilit,y engages the same leg muscles plus core stability muscles as done during cycling.
@@BulletproofCycling Thx Great to hear that. Most professional inline skaters & ice skaters are great cyclists too or do cyling as cross training in the summers too.
You are 51?! Wow! Nice drills. I am more an old mountaineer (65) getting into cycling as running gets harder on my feet. That last bit about training smart is so important. All the more as we age.
I cannot believe I only came across your channel now. What a great video! You have covered it all and there is absolutely no BS. Glad you have subtitles - some of my foreign clients might not get that 😆
Enthusiastic about cycling I realized that muscle mass needs to be equivalent for endurance in which makes it easier to ride long distance. It’s almost similar to trying to float but you can’t due to being over muscular.
3:35 Brush on the other side... With the left hand on the right and with the right hand on the left, my dentist, who is also a drummer, told me. The idea is to be able to work equally well with both sides. It is also a small exercise for the brain.
Wear minimalist shoes as often as possible off the bike, walk with a forefoot strike, and train in the gym with them. After a couple years of doing that your ankles will be bulletproof and stable AF, plus the added benefit of putting extra load on the calf muscles 👌
Hey Evan this is one part of a strength programme that I plan to share. This drill is good for 2 or 3 times a week or even part of workout - like the first or final phase. I will share more in the next few weeks and show how you link together 👍
I noticed on the bottom of your pedal stroke that both knees has bent a bit. I see some riders have more extension on the bottom of the pedal stroke that it looks like fully extend but tiny bit of bent in the end? Do every riders have different leg extension where they can utilise their leg muscles especially as a whole especially the posterior ones vs primarily the quads?
On this bike jig I did set slightly lower to fit in camera but most riders at top end will have around 30 degree knee bend. This increases with various other metrics such as age and general riding type. I generally ride with 35-40 degree on various bikes. I have left leg problem after a serious crash back in my 30’s so my right leg always appears more bent. Hope this explains but feel free to send over any questions you may have.
It can help build both. You can use heavy ropes for full body work out. A good thing about jump rope is the foot stability gains to develop. Great exercise 👍
When I do every recommended stabilization/stretching exercise daily, and eat every recommended nutrition I end up with 36hrs/day not having ridden a single km but eaten 3600kcal.
@@BulletproofCycling Sorry man i dont wanna be rude, so dont take my comment as an offense. I like to listen to every video in english since english is not my native language and Your accent is a bit hard to understand. That's all. Sorrry again and peace.
@@csabatoth2320 I appreciate your reply. It’s maybe your interpretation of the word ‘awful’ that has caused confusion. My accent is my cultural identity. I lived for 25 years outside of my country and appreciate that people can find me difficult to understand. I can alter it slightly when presenting but CZcams is just fun for me. Have a good day 👍
I'm glad my boss is from Scotland, so I came in prepared and loaded with the proper language package
😂😂😂😂😂👍👍 aye yeh did
Fantastic! I had your solid methods on my ride this morning. Thank you for educating me (newb) and many more!

thanks for sharing great info but can I ask when you say start the drill at threshold are you talking about zone 5? Sorry I'm a bit of a novice.
Threshold is generally zone 4 power but depends on what zones you use 👍

Great content and very informative. I'd like for you to be my personal coach as I'm really interested in cycling and doing my best. Thank you.
Feel free to send me an email 👍
Pleased tell me, how many times I need to repeat this 1 min at low cadence?
coach, how many times in a week do you recommend to do the low gearing training?

@@BulletproofCycling interesting. Thanks for your time. Learning lots on your videos!
how many of these 1 minute sets would you recommend?
Experiment yourself but I have guys doing 30 in a workout!!!!
Have you tried inline skating or ice speed skating?
Skating covers everything you're doing.
Try it, tell us what you think?
👍👍
What's the thing you stand on called? Would be nice to have one at the office.
It’s a gel wobble pad. Sometimes called a stability pad or wobble board
Hi Coach, great video. what frequency of 60rpm cadence you recommend? 2x/week with rest day in between? TIA
Depends really on your training volume and time. I tend to include it in one of my outdoor rides.
will jumping rope help build strength or endurance?
It can help build both. You can use heavy ropes for full body work out. A good thing about jump rope is the foot stability gains to develop. Great exercise 👍
Great stuff! Thanks for not taking 30 + minutes to explain... ;-)
😂👍👍👍
@@BulletproofCycling I don't know about others, but I need CZcams video makers to get to the point.
How can I increase my leg strength (quads, hams) if I am unable to do squats? Really bad knee, if I do squats it will pop and swell...
Sorry to hear that. Check out the latest live stream about blood flow restriction training
When I do every recommended stabilization/stretching exercise daily, and eat every recommended nutrition I end up with 36hrs/day not having ridden a single km but eaten 3600kcal.
Ride a Single Speed you'll get a full body workout and learn pedaling efficiency at the same time.
I share live workouts using single gear 👍👍 defo helps 👍👍
fucking damn true everyone can train hard only few can train smart
👍👍👍
8:04 to 8:08 your saddle just auto adjusted and lowered you there 😂😁
Must be a magic camera 👍👍
I have my cleats pretty well setup; even, I have moved them around a bit. However, still if I push higher than 140 watts, my feet got numb.
Sometimes it can just be that shoes are too tight ?
@@BulletproofCycling that’s the thing, I am using Lake (sized as per their chart,) Shimano RC902 Wide, Sidi 60.
it's simple... put it in the 53 x 12 and pedal up hill... one year later.... you're stronger. Read Hinault's book 1986
Haha yep it defo works but maybe not if you take up cycling in later years after knees being pounded by other sports
You look like the Lord of the Dance coach😁
😂😂😂😂😂
1min on 2 mins off x how many?
Please define “Treshold power” . I am unfamiliar with that term
Threshold power is your FTP range or your zone 4 range 👍👍👍
@@BulletproofCycling sorry very new and unfamiliar with the cycling terminology.
What is FTP. Please explain in plain language for us beginners.
Damn You, I almost stopped brushing teeth and I don't improve anything :)
Just kiding, great advices!
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
Those "old legs" look as fresh as a college grad's.
😂😂😂 clever lighting 😂😂
Biggest problem I have is I can't do any of this stuff from my couch.
😂😂😂😂😂
all i can think of is football listening to his accent. :p
😂👍👍👍
Rudimentary advice. But appreciated
You have large feet. Same here.
hahaha fairly big but I think video makes them look bigger
nice but would have been better with camera on the foot rather than your fizog
Looking to improve the camera angles as I get hang of CZcams 👍👍👍
please don't do the clock dance when you're waiting on the corner of the street. i'm concerned for your safety.
😂😂😂
51??? No way.... you look like you're 31!!!!!!!!!!
Haha that will be the lighting 😂😂
Is this guy on some stuff or what?
😂👍
it's english but it's not
Why do the Scottish speak English so oddly? Do they normally speak a different language?
Bake fatter? Seriously? I completly disagree. A little bit of fat in baking is okay, but please, not too much!
OMG the accent is awful
