So Hamish the 64,000 dollar question, what is your exercise choice for below
5 reps, and how are they done?
Thanks.

As far as research on strength training I have to say that most of the
research has used gym training protocols that are focused on hypertrophy
(3-10 sets of 8-15 reps), muscle endurance (2-5 sets of 15-200reps) or power
(2-3 sets of 1-5 reps at 30-60 of 1RM) whereas there seems to be little
research on strength training below 5reps that targets absolute strength.
This is where I focus on in the gym and leave the endurance and power to the
on the bike training. At no point is hypertrophy a focus for my riders, even
the sprinters.
