When I first started cycling, I did just that ... ride! Then I had a few issues - one was knee pain, and the other was a plateau in improving after that initial burst of progress.
So, I started mixing things up and hit the (home) gym to add strength training to riding. And benefits came quick - knee pain was gone, and I started setting regular PBs (and beating my mates up the local climb 🤣).
Here's an example of a workout routine I've done in the past. I tend to mix up routines every once in a while to keep it fresh.
If you're new to 'pumping iron', make sure to check in with a personal trainer who can advise on a routine and, more importantly, check your technique is correct. Strength training can make you stronger, but if you lift incorrectly, you will be in a world of pain. Literally! 👍
