YES! The whole concept of the Bike Body: STRENGTH Program is to support your on-bike training and systematically improve the foundations of your cycling strength while you carry it over to the bike. Each weekly training calendar has recommendations for planning "ride days" and "Bike Body; STRENGTH Days" to maximize the attention you give to both. There are also "Pre-Ride Activation" exercise recommendations during each phase of the program to accelerate the on-bike adaptations by training you to prepare you body for each ride. 

I designed the whole program to be done with no equipment besides your set of glute bands (Yes, there's a link for them), your front wheel, an old inner tube, and a backpack full of bottles for weight.

Anything else you want to substitute is entirely up to you, and its ok to get creative and add in your own weights or kettlebells during specific exercises where it is recommended to.

I want you to be able to do the program literally anytime, anywhere with whatever is available. So I designed all the training to be done at home, or at a hotel, or at a campground...basically anywhere without gym access.

It's ALWAYS the right time for the Bike Body: STRENGTH Program. Seriously. Most riders approach general strength training as something to only be done intermittently or one-time per year in Winter. But that's missing out on all the opportunity to incorporate cycling-specific training that works WITH your riding to help you better access the power you already have AND continue to build up your ability. 

If you're in Pre-Season, PERFECT time to shore up the foundations of your drivetrain before embarking on a big base-build.

It's the height of your event season? PERFECT time to incorporate the pre-ride activations and foundational stability of the program to sustain your top-level performance longer.

Brand spankin new cyclist? (less than 2 years in my opinion) PERFECT time to establish a solid foundation of cycling-ability to support your continuing volume of riding and experiences AND fast-track yourself to more power while reducing injury risk. 

Veteran rider? More than anyone do you need to address the cycling-specific fundamentals of strength since you have the most miles of slow compensation and poor-adaptations over time. You obviously love riding and want to keep doing it forever so invest in your knowledge skill and ability to training your body the RIGHT way with the Bike Body: STRENGTH Program. (and do it each winter year after year to keep you at your top-level for longer!)

Simply Put...No it its not.

That's why you see a Physical Therapist Directly. (Btw, that's my day job so if you need specific cycling injury help then contact me directly at www.socalbikept.com).

However...It more a chicken-or-the-egg question. 

Most cycling injuries I'm hired to help someone fix have the roots of their problems seeded deep in the same functional areas that the Bike Body: STRENGTH Program is designed to specifically fortify. 

So do the program, make yourself more resilient, and reduce the contributing factors to a potential problem that's brewing beneath the surface.  

Be Proactive. 

Yes it is...with the assistance of recommended training calendars for each of the 6 phases of the program. While you are hard-working your way through the Bike Body: STRENGTH Program at home, join us in the Private FB Group community to share your progress and ask for any help you may need. 

Ideally its done in 12 weeks, but if you need more time through a specific Phase of Training then you can always hang out there for a little longer before progressing onto the next phase. Not sure exactly how to adjust? No problem, hit up the FB group or ask a question in the comments of the Training Videos to get your questions answered.
