Full squat for me all the time.

Is it loud when in use? How many decibles does it make?

Good video 🙌🏽

The real question is: after 8 years, why now? 😜 Cheers!

I feel very ready thank you. I will let you know how it helped in my ride

Had my Run Pro2 for several days. Some observations… 1.) initially had trouble pairing my Pro2’s with my Apple watch Series 9, but this was solved when ios 18.2 came out. (No idea why). 2.) Because there is nothing in my ear canal i find that my ear canals don’t get tired from the constant mild pressure of an earbud 3.) the sound was better than I’d hoped for 4.) because there’s nothing in my ear canals, i find that I can hear voices and maybe more importantly, car approaching from behind when I ride my bike.

I literally almost bought one last week. Same here looking to start riding outdoors a lot more so need some feedback outside of speed and heart rate.

Can they handle cycling in rain? How is sound while cycling and listening to podcast or audiobook?

Can anyone comment on the durability of these Prorun. Asked 2 friends who owned the Prorun 1, both had mutiple warranty claims within a year which is kinda scary

Bro if you want to tell people your life story, go start a cooking channel

Good video. And then theres the physical work jon lol Balance ,sleep ,nutrioton. Yup no beer 😭😭. Over 50 ,😮🍺🚴🍺

I had my personal trainer look at my squat form and she said that my back was not staying neutral when I lowered, and she demonstrated this with a dowel along my spine. She said it's not a good idea to squat with weight unless I can maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement. She thinks my ankle flexibility (or lack thereof) is a contributor. Any thoughts on improving ankle flexibility for squats?

I have these and love them. The sound quality is pretty good. I do love loud music but for running I like to hear my surroundings and they were pretty loud imo. I ran the nyc marathon this past November. And they were perfect cause they lasted during my run but more importantly the hours before I started and then my commute home. This review is solid and spot on. As a marathoner, it’s nice to have the option to hear the crowds. They’re pretty comfy too. I forgot they were on my head. Overall, great for runners.

What is the sound quality like if you are listening to a podcast or radio?

Thanks for this video.... amazing

From what I’ve seen, these are great if you have normal or better hearing. If you are older AND live in a busy city, then they arent going to be loud enough for you.

You gain a kind of strength with this kind of squat. Don't know for sure if it is good for your knies. An argument that half squat resembles the leg angle of cycling...I don't buy that; yes, you get better, but why "a half thing"? You actually miss the glutes. The old rule is still valid: max strength is trained with max weights, for 1-5 reps. Core exercises, lunges, half-squats, pushups, mountainclimbers, burpees etc are, at least for me, no strength training, but suit for finishing and warming up. Yes, you get better and you lift weights, however...well, define the "strenght" you are aiming. If you need simply power in your lower body, do full squats, heavy. Max. weightlifting suits well with endurance sport, ask the Norw. xc-skiers. Okay, my background was powerlifting and a kind of bodybuilding before I switched to endurance mostly in form of cycling. No problems with that switch, and leg training with olympic bar is still in programm. Needed for transalps with MTB.

Bulgarian split squat, Full squat, deadlifts. That’s all you need to get much faster from strength aspects In my experience.

Great videos mate, quick tip. Take your ear plugs hands free and set up the phone on Video Pro, then select as sound slurce the bluetooth - bang, great sound easy. Kudos

As being a semi pro motorcycle racer, i am doing lots of core since yeara, this one is one of the greatest. Like

Half squats n1 excercise for cyclists? Dumb advice. Even more with " you can ise smith machine". The only essential, mother excercise that everyone should be doing is FULL SQUAT. There is a load of variants of full squat that can be suited for your actual ROM and strength possibilities. 1. Full squat will maintain structural balance in the lower body. This allows for long-term building of muscle strength and muscle mass and prevents injuries because muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons work in the full range of motion under heavy load. 2. A full squat is also an indicator of maximum strength and the only exercise that does not cause structural imbalance. 3. Prof. Zatsiorsky confirmed that although we generate more tension in the legs in the upper part of the range of motion (half squat), we generate the greatest force from a full squat. The knee then behaves like a spring; the greater the deformation (bending), the greater the force output. 4. This means that the greater the strength in a FULL squat, the greater the potential for power production. 5. In sports with a high speed component and absolute strength requirement, the full squat is a mother exercise to which we compare all other lower body strength parameters. 6. Stretch shortening cycle is most effective in full knee flexion therefore full squats will always be safer for the knees than half or quarter squats.

Please don’t do half squats! Horrible advice

Half squats are a great way to put way to much stress on the knees.

Just found your channel, learnt a lot, thanks, and I am now implementing the various recommendations you have for off the bike work from your various videos.

You win for keeping a bike 8 years.

I have been told by a few people that if doing weight training and biking in the same day to do weights first and then bike with several hours between the weight lifting and the biking. Also, if riding more than 4 days a week, one should only weight lift 2 days a week. Did I get bad info?

Just ride easy for 10 minutes and gradually increase your pace and do a minute or two out of the saddle. No need to waste your time with these exercises unless you're a racer and/or need to start your ride hard.

Started doing half-squats. Every day somebody comes to me in the gym to say im squatting not deep enough😅

Very well thought warm up, with mobility and strength combined, which can be progressed into an exercise routine👍

Just bought these and have been using them for a couple of weeks now, absolutely brilliant highly recommend.. also usb C is a big change/positive

You mentioned using your Garmin watch. I have a Garmin bike computer but I'm thinking of buying a watch for biometrics tracking e.g. recovery etc. Its very hard to decide which one. Could you maybe do a video on how to select and use both units to get the best results? Just an idea!

1400 views and no comments on a very informative shortish video. I don't believe it. 😮

Looks good. Gonna defineely give it a try. That harmstring stretch looks like a chicekn pose :)

Great advice - thank you😊

Just tried this for the first time. Feels like a good routine to me

Excellent

I advocate doing wt training at different speeds as well . For cycling we need that strength at around 90 rpm. Who is doing weights at 90 reps per minute ? Who thinks its relevant ? Given that transfer of training seems limited in other ways, it makes sense to me to consider this. I'm not working with any keenies at the moment so haven't tested this...Any one ?

I would recommend doing these in heeled shoes (like weightlifters do it) to put your spine more vertical and push more with your quads, and less glutes. Smith machine is great for this purpose too.

After a terrible reaction to my second covid vaccination I am just starting to regain some energy and a little strength, a long way from where I once was and as an old foggie (77) not much chance of getting it all back. So at present twice a week in the gym mainly stretching and light leg and core work which after watching this will now start rectifying. But what about endurance training in the gym, is that advisable?

Don't skip leg day

I'd avoid leg curls. Loading the knees. Covered with exercise.

Look forward. Not at your feet. Very important.

I find, for me, doing these accessory movements to failure is more useful than counting reps. If you spend 10 hours a week on the bike, doing 1 minute of accessory isn't going to cancel that out. Failure meaning you are losing form, then do more sets from there to your desire. Even if less reps than before.

What about climbing stairs

I just found your channel. I like it! I will be incorporating this into my workouts. Thank you…

Might be abit of a silly question but I feel my wattbike saddle feels like it’s on abit of an incline is this a thing?

What if if i do 20 reps are ok?

Great watch, cheers. Tried all the last 20 years. For me find single leg press best to ensure I don’t favour one leg like BB squats. For core activation find bend over BB row and standing DB press work well. Good idea is to stand in damp sand and see if one foot goes deeper than the other, shows what side you favour.

Ass to grass

It sounded noisy
