May, 2020 I had a low black episode as a function of stenosis that impacted my biking whereas my right glute was not firing at all causing my cycling Balance to be completely imbalanced (60%L/40%R) and, when walking, was in pain and falling when the ground was unbalanced. Really bad. So last summer, I went on an aggressive strengthening crusade with my Physical Therapist, Tejal Ramaiya who I have been working with since I herniated my disk in 2015.
Through working with her and identifying additional workouts, I was able to, over the course of the summer, get my balance back; then, once I started riding seriously again, was throwing down, surprisingly, given the break from cycling, big numbers.
I learned a lot about how to build glute strength specific to cycling; but, as I am not PT, I asked her if she would put together a video series that shows all the exercises, how to do them correctly, and progress them. So, here is a link she put together into individual blocks so that you can see all the workouts -- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy9hgVoGUXUyCjfoCE9_SoPVTT0mkvN1f
1. Core warm up 2. Deadlift 3. Single leg deadlift 4. Split squat and Bulgarian split squat 5. Lateral Toe taps 6. Farmers carry 7. Suitcase carry
