Strength Training
Interested to know what other people are doing in their strength training Personally, I’m using most of my gym sessions from an overall health perspective, and for longevity in my very physical job. For me, the last few years I’ve been struggling with the bike. Even though I’ve continued riding Ultras, it’s the only thing that kept me riding. I like to train heavy at least two times a week and one session with accessories. Heavy squats are at as full a depth that I can reach, with destroyed knees from 20 plus years of motocross. Cheers for any feedback

I'm similar to you. I'm an advanced lifter and strength, muscle mass, and longevity are important to me. That can come with big trade offs in your cycling if you go too hard. In cycling season I only work for very small lower body gains, and really it's more about just not losing what I have built pre season. I limit to two days a week, and I try not to trash my quads. If you're over 40, I would honestly recommend leaving back squats in the rearview, along with heavy deadlifts. Even if you're trained, risk of injury is too great. Zerchers are my favorite, followed by goblet squats for bilateral work. Split squats are a must for any cyclist imo. The benefit of all these is you can do much lighter weight but reap all the benefits. Especially with any back or knee issues, this is a must. Deload the joints but work the muscles to the max! Trap bar deadlifts to replace standard DLs also. Finally, I recommend kettlebell swings/cleans/etc. It absolutely cured the last of my lower back and knee issues. My acquaintance coach Dan John called it the "what the hell" effect. It just seems to really benefit body mechanics. I can't explain it.
New Nutrition Module
Folks, delighted to add an amazing new resource into the Nutrition module. It's the start of a series i'm building with Dr David Dunne. David is the co-founder of Hexis and consults with or directly manages the Nutrition for over 30% of all World Tour riders. In this masterclass we unpack the idea of “gas in the tank” and how to line up your fuelling with the actual demands of your training and racing. We walk through the four big building blocks that really move the needle for performance: understanding your session demands, planning your carbs across the day, matching your gas levels to key workouts, and using feedback to refine things over time. He also shares some really cool data from Bob Jungles Tour de France stage win, showing exactly the energy costs of winning a tour stage. It's in the Nutrition Module in classrooms.

@Andy Gannaway it seems to. I can hardly fit in the calories on big riding days. One little hole that it has though is that if it's under an hour, even by a minute, it gives you no calories for the ride no matter the intensity.
Hexis Tip
Last week I was chatting to somebody who was using hexis and it seemed like he was really underfuelling. Sounded like he was empty when starting the sessions and I got the sense that energy was down significantly compared to normal. He had been using hexis and was happy with his progress but all of a sudden it seemed like he was way hungrier than normal and something wasn’t adding up. He checked his weight goal on hexis and somehow it had slashed his weekly weight loss goal to 1.8kg! He was almost at his target weight so he definitely did not need to lose the last couple of kgs that fast. He definitely didn’t intentionally set the weight loss to 1.8kg so I don’t know if he hit a button by accident or if the app just 💩 itself. Just be careful and check that you have the correct weight target set whether it’s to lose weight, maintain weight etc. You need to check this on the website not through the app. Under profile, then Health & Performance, then move the slider to a "healthy" deficit. Usually .5kg a week. “In my case it was set to a 15% caloric deficit, and the more I exercised the more it would trim my calories. I was wondering why when I completed workouts I would lose 200ish calories off of my day.” Might just be a once off thing but this could have had big implications if it went unnoticed.

@Blair Corey interesting. I found that (thank you) but there's no slider. Just a target weight option

@Blair Corey web portal. Is there a dedicated desktop version as well?
Yearly Calendar
Since the start of this year I've been really focusing on not wasting time/days. The days can slip past us too easily with the abundance of doom scrolling we all have to resist. I found myself in years past wondering did I get the most out of this year, what happened to it? I saw a reel of someone talking about how each year should have one yearly defining event it (Unbound for me this year), 6 mini adventures - things you need to plan out otherwise they just pass you by (Camping trip with the kids - Fishing trip father - other significant races etc), and then a new quarterly habit. I have to say it has been really satisfying having started this little project, and seeing what I have coming up. As well as months that I could probably do more in. It's also surprising how many things I have had to turn down already this year because of other commitments. I wanted to share with this group the printable one page calendar I had AI help me make. As well as the method I used to fill it in. I took those little 2 inch sticky note pads, about 4 different colors, cut the sticky top off trimmed it to cover the length of days that the event/activity is and wrote the details on that. I hope this helps you all maximize your year, and have confidence that you are making the most out of it. Cheers

Carb fuelling
Coaches Came across this today https://www.instagram.com/p/DTxwuVJFQIV/?img_index=12&igsh=MWYybXZkNnhtMWh1dg== Basically saying we got it all wrong with the emphasis of high carb fuelling on workouts. Interested in your thoughts

in other news, Hexis has suddenly become obsessed with giving me zero carb breakfasts. I wonder if they read this article? hmm....

@Kevin Dalby yup. yesterday's plan was 574kcal at breakfast with zero carb, then 952/135 lunch, 423/75 snack, then my workouts, then 1000/110g dinner.
