Did you know that lifting heavier weights with lower reps can actually ENHANCE your endurance performance?

.

.

While endurance athletes typically focus on high-rep, low-weight workouts, incorporating heavy strength training can unlock serious benefits like:👇🏼⁣
⁣.

. Muscle Activation & Recruitment
Heavy lifting targets fast-twitch muscle fibers, which help generate quick, powerful bursts—key for those sudden pushes during endurance activities.⁣
⁣ Improved Power Output
Training with heavy loads increases your maximal power, helping you generate more force when you need it most.⁣
⁣ Enhanced Efficiency
Stronger muscles use less energy to perform the same tasks, making you more efficient on long rides, runs, or climbs.⁣
⁣ Injury Prevention
Building strength supports your joints and helps prevent injuries, especially in high-impact endurance sports.⁣

Tune in to learn more about how this may benefit you and help you level up too.
