Scott Pearson

My off-bike-only year-round online training solution, designed for cyclists of all levels. This is a trimmed down version of my OBS program and simply includes the gym based sessions.

Structured Program: all you need to do is concentrate on training.
Reduce Injuries: strength sessions are appropriate and progressive, lowering your risk of injury. Stronger riders get injured less, meaning you'll actually be able to spend more time in the saddle than ever before!
Enjoy Your Riding Again: Your rides will feel less of a grind, positions will be easier to hold and you'll have fewer aches and pains.

Here's how the plan breaks down:

On-bike sessions per week: 2-4 (you will need to program these yourself)
Off-bike sessions per week: 1-6 (including strength, mobility, high-performance recovery training and regeneration sessions).
Typical time of year: It's a year-round program, so the frequency of sessions will fluctuate, so you receive the most appropriate training for the time of year.
Level of rider: Any.
Level of gym: Intermediate

FAQs

Who is this plan for?

This plan is ideal for riders who already have some gym experience (2+ years) and want to minimise injury and boost their power. If you don't want to waste time writing your own plans and trying to make it fit around your riding, then this is for you.

How long do I need to sign up for?

There is no minimum term, you can stop at any point. All you need to do is cancel your subscription. However, strength training to improve your on-bike performance, as well as your health isn’t a quick fix. Long-term consistency is crucial and will take some time to get the maximum benefit.

Do I have to do all the sessions?

I'm realistic enough to understand that life often gets in the way...even pro riders don't do EVERY session! The key thing is to be as consistent as possible; this maximises the benefits of the program and limits your risk of injury and/or muscle soreness.

What if I don't have the required equipment?

Unfortunately, bodyweight training will not do the same job or provide the same benefits. Our aim is to lay strength foundations, which requires lifting external loads! To make things a little more flexible, I've provided alternatives for all the gym-based exercises, so you can swap exercises out.

What about my on-bike training?

I specialise in off-bike training to support your sporting goals, so it's assumed you'll take care of your own on-bike work.

When will I see results on the bike?

All riders are individuals, so it will be different for everyone. You'll see gym-based improvements almost immediately and most riders begin to feel more “robust” and able to “recover quicker” in 4-6 weeks. Noticeable performance improvements are often seen in 12-16 weeks. Consistency is the key.

I don't see my question here, how can I get an answer?

I've tried my best to answer the most common questions about this program here, but if there's something I've missed, please contact me at info@fastfitstrong.com and I'd be happy to answer.
