Tim H. Training Tip of the Week

the following is fabuluous for the quads, core, lats & biceps. on your bike, attempt to ride thru as many school yards as possible, without stopping or dismounting, ride underneath a "chin-up bar". carefully releasing hands from your aerobars and using a underhand hold, grab the bar while simultaneously squeezing your bike between your thighs. make sure hands are about 26 inches apart and your palms are facing you. for advance athletes try one hand. without swinging the bike between your legs pull up making eye contact for the first three pull-ups the remainder of the pull ups should be done with the eyes closed. try 12 to 18. release hands from bar, and you will find that you will naturally fall right back into the standard tri position on your bike. ps make sure you are in the small chain ring. for advance athletes try large chain ring.
