A Pre Bike Trip Workout

What’s up Strength Mob! Here is a workout that I put together prior to a 3-day bikepacking trip in August. I knew that the route we were doing was going to punish my legs—there was over 10,000 feet of climbing! That’s why this workout lacks any super heavy leg action. I didn’t want to wear …

Any type of single arm bent over row will work for the circuit – you can do it with a kettlebell vs dumbbell, or support yourself with one hand on a bench. If the L-hang feels …
