    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.

    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 👌

    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?

    • @BulletproofCycling
      @BulletproofCycling  Před 2 lety +1

      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.
