When I posted on a cycling forum that doing regular push-ups helped my riding by allowing me to stay in the low position longer, the all-knowing trolls on the forum told me my bike fit was wrong and that pro racers don't need upper body strength. So silly.

i find everything from the saddle is the key for a bike fit for sure, if it's not in the right spot or close you will have issues every where else.

Thanks, Coach. Great tip on the palm of hand landing on the hood. Needed to move my saddle 7mm forward. Today's ride had virtually no pain!

Nearly peed my pants with laughter😂. I’m one of those with lots of saddles 😅, needed a bike fit to get it right in the end. Love the channel. Simple and effective. Keep it up please

Great video!! Thanks.

Love your videos coach!!

After watching and learning from your videos, I have got what I consider to be the best set up FOR ME. I can ride 140+ km get off and still walk with no pain anywhere, my saddle is the hardest thing you will ever come across ( carbon , no padding ) it's a real shame your not in Spain as I would love to have a few sessions ( riding the bike that is ) with you. Keep up the great work.

Thank you mate, keep it up! Easy to understand and lots of myths busting in cycling. Moreover, give advices in cheap or free ways to upgrade performance without/before upgrading the bike parts. Your statement, "I'm a certified bike fitting" is on point selling point compare others which sometimes there is miss-inform item.

Good things to try and check. Thanks!😊

hi coach, new subscriber here. im eager to learn about bike fitting im riding from mtb to gravel. thanks i found your vid and loving it❤

Just started on that Bike thing and I already found their Ace Ventura. it gonna be fun!

You are the best !

This is such a good video. I always had saddle issues and then I got myself a new bike a few weeks ago, gravel bike with a fairly upright geometry but super small frame (my proportions are funny). My saddle is not even an issue. I can't believe I did not need to test several saddles. It just works. Now I just need to do more stretching and I can really feel how weak some of my muscles became due to all the sitting. My hip is definitely in the right position while pedaling but I can feel that it is quite a bit of effort for my core to hold my heavy upper body (years of gym). So I guess it means I need more training off the bike. At least it's not uncomfortable

Nice one Coach - lots of great tips. Also - need to get that T shirt😂

I recently change my saddle to short one and find it more comfy. Good video

Thank you. I was about to buy a new saddle!

Love a bit o straight talking Coach. I used a £10 saddle with padding n springs AND did a 50km ride like it was nothing because the saddle fitted me. I also run BMX bars, but that's more because I'm mental...

Hi ! Thanks for all your videos. I'm currently trying to fix my posture problems but I have a very frankenbike bike so I need to adapt :') How do you proceed with handlebars that are not dropbars ?

Great Value Coach

I love how my introduction to this channel is you yelling out a high pitched "your aaasss" 😂.

you are definitely the best coach with the best accent around here:P. After doing all the adjustments i went through hands pain to neck and now its only on the upper shoulder blade. its been a week adjusting slowly following yout tips. it seems that all the "numbers" are fine and i think its my posture now. do we have to stretch the lower back a little or leave it with the natural lordosis curvature ? :P .

Hey Coach, I don't know how to get in touch with you, but I have a question for you. Just watched your live stream about zone 2, and that distance isn't necessary to see improvement. I used to ride 15 miles both ways, every day for work, and on weekends I really enjoyed my 40-80 mile excursions on the bike. That was 6 years ago, my health has deteriorated, but I really want to get back to my previous fitness so I can enjoy my distance rides... But I keep jumping the gun, and going out for long rides and crashing afterwards because my body can't cash the checks to fill the demands of my brain. How can I more quickly get back to the part of cycling that I enjoy the most, the distance?

I'm lucky enough to have a business which helps strengthens the arms/upper body. Wielding a long reach hedge trimmer at all angles does the trick. It weighs 23lb's. Who needs the gym!

I got my first Road Endurance bike on the way, I'm hoping its like riding a supersport motorcycle.

YOU ARE THE BEST MAN! WISH YOU 100.000 MORE!

Good! Is it true that higher saddle can cause problems with IT band (especially when one leg is slightly longer than other) and a lower saddle with meniscus?

What about the fingers getting a numb, You have a video on that?

I need that shirt 😂❤

Hello, You say that the 120 mm point for the saddle should be used as a base.Is this valid for all saddles? I have a Fizik Aliante gamma saddle. Thank you for all your advice.

What Billy Joel songs would best go on my riding playlist coach? My triceps are good .(Ido love to dance on the pedals so I need a saddle with a little ballroom..(

Luv the tee shirt Scott🤣..Mmm interesting..I had a bike fit last year and my fitter extended my handlebar stem and since then I have pain in my neck and top of shoulders…you mentioned “posture” coach..perhaps that’s what my problem is then…🤔

I'm more concerned about my rear after 20+ hours on the saddle. This only seems helpful for shorter distances.

Coach I always wonder when do Tour de France riders go to pee during an all day race? For proper posture while riding your back should be straight or a little hunched?

Recently developed neck pain (at the trapezius muscle and inward to the spine) my bike measurements have changed recently so I’m not sure what is causing it. Never experienced it before. I have started doing pull ups to try and ga8n more strength.

If I place the cleat at the fifth metatarsal, is it too far back? It is like 25 mm behind the first metatarsal!

Press-ups for my triceps.

Coach I'm scared to use the drops as well as to use my cycling shoes

This sounds simple, but maybe too simple? What about how the saddle is to be in relation to the pedals? There was NO mention of that. We don't want to get any knee problems. Thanks.

Not clear on how you measured the heel of palm reaching the hood? Please share How should the rest of body look like when it is done...little stretched forward, or crouched or something else?

What about rotation of the pelvis and back shape? I see so many cyclists with their pelvis rotated backwards and their backs in a curve that makes Quasimodo look pretty upright. This has impacts on necks, etc, to say nothing about strain on the lower back. If it was bodybuilding doing a squat or deadlift (using those big leg and posterior chain muscles), it would be horrible. So why do cyclists never think to angle their pelvis forward, which will straighten their back, probably enable them to activate their glutes more and reduce back strain, neck strain and possibly improve aerodynamics?

I'm sure you can mount your sofa chair onto the bike somehow 😂

“A small brain head”..splat. Subtle reminder to wear a helmet tucked in the episode!

Thanks Coach. just a question are you Scottish

I’m told my riding posture is horrendous 😂

😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

love this guy - the Warren Gatland of cycle coaching !

Nowt wrong with a bit of Billy Joel coach

3:55 the caption should read "not sitting correctly" caption machine doesn't like your Scottish accent, coach!

There is no good posture in traditional cycling. And I’ll will debate that with anyone. The only good and correct posture is no hands

The reason I don’t watch comedy shows anymore is because they are not as funny as you
