I'm a beginner in the gym and have started with a full body routine consisting of mainly compound exercises. I cannot do deadlifts due to chronic back pain and a microdisscectomy I had in 2007 for a ruptured disc. So I only really do squats for legs right now. I warmup by riding my fixed gear there but it's only about 4 miles. Nice hills though.
Would like to get some more leg specific exercises in there for some extra riding strength/endurance. I favor long rides consisting of "get to the top, bomb down" more than xc racing. Ide say I get nearly ten hours on the bike a week. Can't really do more because of work.
What do you guys work in for leg endurance?
My routine if you're interested is
Bench press
Squats
Shoulder press
Seated cable rows
Tri extensions
Preacher curl
I do these 3 sets of 10 and usually superset then move on to core followed by the ride home.
