Core and other cycling specific workouts

good article on strength training for mtb. Some nice selection of specific exercises:

Ultimate sandbag routine for Hip Hinge

----------------------

A circuit using the sand bag. I'm getting ready to order the Power package which looks to be their medium size. They are sized as core, power, strength, and burly. With the power it looks like you can put two filler bags and get up to 40 lbs in it which will be plenty for me to learn on.

I'm a big fan of the sandbag. Adding in a rotational component to exercises makes it an awesome tool for athletes needing greater stability in all planes of motion.
The cool thing about the sandbag is that it offers so many different options for holding it. While the barbell offers very little in the way of changing grips, with the sandbag we can shoulder it, hug it, crossbody hug it, and Zercher hold it. The possibilities are many, and each different grip or hold offers a different set of challenges.
Here's an example:

Order	Exercise	Reps
A	Split Clean	5*
B	Rotational Lunge	4*
C	Push Press	8
D	Zercher Good Morning	8
E	Shouldered Get-Up	2*

* per side

In the video below my athlete is using an 80-pound bag and he's getting crushed by the end.
