I realize that I’m just some random guy on the internet, but I have years of experience and education on strength training. Your time in the gym(weight room) is better spent focusing on lifting heavy weight for fewer reps(high intensity/low volume) and doing your conditioning on the bike. High intensity/low volume workouts are more effective for strength building and your recovery time is much shorter. This lends itself to better workouts on the bike and better strength to weight ratio.

[@tomnutting3836]

Fit4racing programs are tailored to the client’s needs mate. Depending on your testing the program has a mix of strength, power and capacity 👌 For example mine has max weight deadlifts tonight (yay 😅) and plenty of capacity. I’m sure Rich has been programmed some strength building as well as KB swings etc

[@jinavl]

Rich should shave his head to make himself more streamlined

[@andrewfranks5882]

Excellent going Rich. Hope you have a great time at Whistler.

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

Great going Rich and great series. Looking forward to the next part in Whistler 👊 Cracking stuff #GMBN 🤘

[@jamesc6876]

felt good ready to give a thumbs up and seeing i was number 1K. go Rich!

[@nomadic_dad]

Been looking forward to seeing the next installment of this Rich 👏 EDIT - finished watching and looks like you are doing great 💪 and doubt you will be last in Whistler 😁

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@saddleweary5760]

Right on time, I really needed this for my motivation! Keep up the push bro!

[@shaneblankley1286]

So when do we get to see the update ?

[@Benji-jk8bn]

Just GEE casually pushing up the track 😂

[@gmbn]

You bump into some celebrities in the valleys!

[@plainuser48596]

No gloves is such sketch O.o

[@cgriggsiv]

You could always go back to pro it just may take a little bit longer but in our cases since we are at such an age a lot longer and don't forget your beat pills you need all the oxygen in your blood could withstand or beats in general like canned beets with Italian dressing of course you have to drain the beet juices and drink that separately if you like beats but I'm pretty sure you had no idea that they helped keep more oxygen in your blood for better performance and the best part is it's all natural good old beats fruits vegetables and everything else in between

[@leehorspool9744]

The guys pushing up a track are playing with their own and other peoples safety. Craziness. Looking great though Rich

[@gmbn]

Hey Lee! That was Gee Atherton filming a new project. Dyfi bike park was closed to the public whilst we were filming, so Rich knew they were along that trail. 👍

[@leehorspool9744]

@@gmbn LMAO, My bad. Ill take it back. 🤣

[@smc2811]

Hey Cow! Don´t be scared...I probably won´t eat you today 😆

[@rognevs5695]

Shredding up cheddar and chilling down the sheppy, that’s what you call some Mendip medicine me son

[@gmbn]

100%! 😅

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

I’m confused Rich, we’re you being chased and that’s why you were running?

[@jinavl]

Rich we are all hoping you smash it bro..1st place my guy🤙🤙🤙

[@gmbn]

Thanks for the support! Rich is going to smash it out the park!🙌

[@AlexandreCosta82]

Not sure if watching a GMBN video or a Wahoo ad 😒

[@danfarmer_photo]

Rich, you’re a good man for sharing this journey. For those of us who won’t ever be at this level, and are hitting those later stages of life, it is inspiring to see the work being put in to get you back to race pace, and feeling good about yourself mentally. Looking forward to seeing you at whistler.

[@gmbn]

Make sure you say hi Dan!

[@mikerothmusic4128]

I like the "P" hat are you a Pirates fan too?!

[@mattlyone3147]

Awesome series . Good luck at Whistler. It's just around the corner

[@gmbn]

Thanks for watching the series! It's not long now for Rich! 👍

[@ocbyn]

Lovin’ this fella. Enjoying the honesty

[@davelloyd8454]

Great job for the sponsors... It got distracting though which spoiled the enjoyment of the content a bit.

[@bobothericefarmer1878]

Line choice and break handling is the key part

[@gmbn]

Very true! Preventing arm pump on huge descents is crucial on huge EWS stages. 👍

[@ltrtg13]

And Si Richardson from GCN is scared to death of cows. It looks the cow are more likely to run away from Si.

[@gmbn]

We've heard they 'hunt in packs' or something 🤔😅

[@colinl2908]

Go Rich! enjoying all your videos and now see you are squeezing them in amongst training.

[@YoterTown]

That 204 BPM, wow!

[@montesim4]

Keep going Rich! 💪

[@Gabe73C]

Rooting for ya, Rich! 👍

[@gmbn]

Nice, Gabe! Us too! Rich is smashing it! 🔥

[@01FozzyS]

One week out now. Good luck,Rich!

[@gmbn]

The presenters are off to Whistler now! Rich is going to smash it! 👍

[@unalteredcapture]

What colour is that tea?! 🤯🤮 couldn’t continue after that.. 🤣

that tea was perfect colour wth tea are you drinking

[@TrIpMo1981]

Brits and their tea 😅.

[@SteelR4t]

Great video Rich and good to see your progress. Win or lose we're all rooting for ya! On another note that Orbea XC bike of yours is absolutely BANGIN'. If it featured in the bike vault on the DSS, it'd need a category all of it's own... a "HYPER NICE".

[@gmbn]

Good call! Hyper nice category might be something to think about 🤔😂

[@SteelR4t]

@@gmbn Maybe get the team to pick one Hyper-Nice per DSS and give them a race top or stunt mug as a prize? Or even see if you can score a deal with Muc Off to award some cleaning bits to keep their Hyper-Nice rig, well.. Hyper-Nice!

[@markbils4179]

Good luck on the race 👍

[@gmbn]

Thanks Mark! Rich is going to smash it!

[@clint2627]

Loving this series. Well done

[@gmbn]

Thanks for watching Clint 👍

[@dazbbgful]

Maybe if the cow was a Mr you might not have been as brave rich 😁. Notice you don't use gloves,what grips you use please . Keep uo the good work rich 👍

[@gmbn]

Ergon GE-1's for us! No gloves is a bit of a personal preference for Rich, but they're comfy enough to not need them!

[@dazbbgful]

@@gmbn how are they in the rain ?

[@chiccorocker]

Good luck sir!

Please more of those

We'll be dropping episode 3 after EWS Whistler! Stay tuned! 👊

28 degrees C is quite a great weather to be out riding from where I'm at. Heck, that's not hot at all.

Rich to cows: nothing to be scared of! Cows, taking a few steps back: sure, you will just take the milk from our babies and eat me or my friends🤣🤣🤣
