MTB Training Bible MS phase question...(7 posts)

MTB Training Bible MS phase question...Echo
Mar 8, 2002 1:10 PM
On Monday I start the maximum strength (MS) phase of my training. Friel gives a list of exercises to perform and the number of sets/reps. My question is, do I complete all the sets for a single exercies and then move onto the next? Or do I do a set and move to the next exercies, do a setand move to the next, etc., until I cycle through all the exercieses?

Thanks in advance,
Ed

I usually do all of the sets for the exercise and then move on. If there is room at my gym I may alternate two exercises at one time (an upper body and lower body of course). I prefer to alternate when I can as it tends to keep the heart rate up!
Have fun.

I had the same question and in re-reading the book I came to the conclusion that the MS and PE phases are done in complete sets before moving on. After I've don my first two MS specific (leg press, seated row) I do a circuit of three sets of the AA exercises, one set each before rotating, before finishing with a set of three standing rows at MS. When talking about the AA and ME phases he mentions that they can be done in a circuit for cardio work. The confusion comes in where he talks about using the AA routines within the other phases.

It's a book. Your LBS (Local Book Store) can get it. Not expensive.

'The Mountain Biker's Training Bible' by Joe Friel. Velopress.
