[@emilegoguely4032]

I like the "barely riding" only 14-16hrs/week lol

[@anibaljesusdelgadillo2091]

Any athlete would benefit from doing squats (with weights) in the gym.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

yes!

[@madmonkeycycling9098]

Indeed, my peak power is around 10% higher when powerlifting. My efficiency and repeated hiit are also up

[@bulletkatcher1]

Great interview. Very informative. I got a lot of great material and advice out of it. You are in very good hand for next years race season. On a side not. The bike you will Be riding. You are a very lucky man how has worked very hard. Don’t stop.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

thanks alot mate. Really appreciate it!

[@isaachudson5304]

15 hours max a week... I thought my 10 hour weeks were a fair bit...

[@PeakTorque]

Tell all the women on maternity leave to hush down, we cant hear Steve.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+Cycgnr 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂

[@trickyd99]

Great stuff from Steve. Brilliant advice. Hope lots of guys take him up on the training side of things. I'm 46, i won't be!

[@ThatCynicalBrit]

This lad raced the Croft Trophy few years back against lots of the local top riders. He solo'd off and looked more like a motorbike than a cyclist

[@Crazy0o0scopE]

Loved this, big thanks to Steve for sharing his knowledge!

[@britchambers5884]

Best vlog yet cam 😉 and yes he does end up just lying on the floor on his phone trying to do core at home!! Also with coaching he loves helping people. Like the riders he currently coaches can pretty much call or msg whenever and he always picks up or replies straight away....... frustrating sometimes but mega for the guys being coached 😂😂 awesome vlog boys 👍👍👍

[@isaachulse7236]

Great video, something a bit different and no doubt a bit easier for you to edit. Can this become a semi regular feature perhaps every couple of months?

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+Isaac Hulse sure man. If the reactions good, it can be a thing!

[@nathanjones2245]

Loved the video! Really helpful and enjoyable! Would be cool if you did more of these! Once again, thanks for the inspiration! 😊👍🏽

[@deltava100]

Thanks Cam and Steve this has really helped me!

[@samreed64]

Thanks Steve (and Cam) for answering my question!

[@eteokles3]

Torque work on the bike does not build muscle. That's a common misconception. If you want to build muscle you need to go to the gym and lift heavy.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+eteokles3 what level do you race at mate?

[@eteokles3]

Elite A in Germany. Why does that matter?

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+eteokles3 just interested mate. Pretty much all domestic and international pros do torque work on the bike. So interested as to why you think it doesn’t work? Genuinely question by the way mate!

[@eteokles3]

True and it's interestingly something German cyclists have been doing for ages. We even have a name for these kind of workouts and I'm a strong believer in those. I haven't said that they "don't work", it's just that Steve said he does them "to build muscle" and that's not true. They help recruiting all the muscle you have, so they build strength but technically they don't cause hypertrophy.

[@atiroocky]

@@eteokles3 , indeed I've ridden in the book "Training and Racing With a Power Meter" by Andrew Coggan, that all studies he analysed have shown that torque work will not build more muscle than "power" work. According to him, the amount of fibre recruitement does not depend on the torque, but directly on the amount of power you put. So if you want building muscle, train at the maximum power you can (maybe at 100RPM for some people)

[@TheRedster]

youtube's being a bitch and keeping it in 360p

[@jasonbains873]

Great interview Cam and thanks for asking my question 👍👍👍

[@AndronicasLion]

Cracking video and idea, learnt a lot. I'd like to see more of these in the future 👍

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+AndronicasLion no worries mate. Sure we can make it happen!

[@ferguscurrie1945]

Really great video today cam, great to here some wise words from ma boi Steve keep it up 🔥🔥🔥

[@olly24c]

Colnago is gonna be mega

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

[@mikepenk84]

Nice one cam...Steve knows his stuff clearly

[@steve-bs3qp]

Top video had to watch it twice over packed with so much info to take in nice one

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+Steve Clyne haha sorry for that steve! Glad you enjoyed it mate.

[@Germelvin]

Excellent interview with good practical advice

[@seanhennebry7002]

Really really enjoyed this video Cam, great info

[@levikizume]

Really helpful advice! Any chance you can get Steve to discuss race tactics/techniques for any newbies to racing? Cheers.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

sure we can do this in a later video!

[@ewanlivlingstone1759]

The new bikes are going to be amazing mate, great to hear tips from Steve and I'm sure there is some brilliant advice for people that want training plan

[@KirbyLouis]

[@cumbriancyclist385]

[@jpw7536]

Great interview, and what a top bloke Steve is.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+John P Wharton cheers John

[@timdixo]

Fascinating interview,Steve is a great watch. Steve’s “Tight Chain Tips” needs to be a regular on the channel Cam.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+timbo Tight Chain Tips is a great title! I might have to use that ;-)

[@britchambers5884]

Loves a good tight chain ride does our lamps lol

[@jordywilliams]

what about riding track? you're doing high intensity all winter

[@Sara-sb7cc]

Hi Cam! What do you think would be the best way to train for a 96km long race? Its going to be my first race (I'm 19, so entering the racing-area pretty late, but oh well... It's mostly for fun. I might do some before if there is any), and I really want to do sub three hours. For now I've just been training aimlessly with lots of volume, with winter and inside riding I'm going more intensity.

[@scottstrzadala6729]

Can anyone recommend/suitable mudguards for road bikes?

[@sivelo5021]

Top vid 👍

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

envy wheels & finishing kit would be the icing on the cake. good vid

[@anthonyh4723]

Hey Cam, always enjoy your videos. This one was very nice! Looking forward to seeing your progression with Steve and 2018. Cheers

[@guyd4067]

Thank you for describing me as an "elderly rider". Unfortunately, that is true!

[@gwhite1932]

Interesting but the background noise is terrible

[@Lar308]

Background noise is quite distracting.

[@msives]

Great interview. Very informative.

[@langy8525]

Good content brother

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+Ian Lang 😘

[@ironmantooltime]

Awesome video, you covered a tonne cheers 😎👍

[@chrissmart5826]

Loving the videos cam, can’t wait to start my winter training after watching this. 🚴😉👊

[@NielsHeldens]

#Everything4TheC60 You caused this Steve

[@shaundterry]

Best thing you've done. Great content

[@leonardomorelli7131]

Absolute magnificent interview 👌

[@anibaljesusdelgadillo2091]

Awesome interview, Cam.

[@mitchoi3581]

Great content. Subbed!

[@investireocaminho33]

Great video

[@michaeldevisser2751]

Great info!

[@alsayers]

Really great interview.

[@Velotv_Uk]

So why does he say no specifics as the races are 5 months away ? But your being coached by him and are doing specific efforts ?

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+danielupinldntown have you listened to the whole video? Z3 is way below threshold. Steady state efforts. It’s not specific.

[@Mike-cz8oy]

Great vlog Cam

[@archieduckworth8741]

First

[@apv1]

This is solidddd

[@stephenp1615]

leggoo

[@mitchellsteindler]

Cam, how many zones do you have? I don't have a reference for what zone 3 is otherwise. For example, I have 5 zones, so zone 3 is considered garbage training. Too fast to build aerobic capacity, too slow to build top end.

[@eoghan4378]

Zone 3 is not considered too fast to build aerobic capacity. 5 zones is generally the same as 6 but for the fact that if you have 5 zones zone 5 will be vo2 and up rather than vo2 and then anaerobic.

[@babybelkin977]

What do you class as elderly, ;)

[@NielsHeldens]

Baby Belkin everything over 30

[@assaultedpeanut9]

What's the cheapest decent power meter people can recommend?

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

PowerTap P1.

[@lebowskii98_9]

I 2nd 4iii. Only one sided though.

[@wetyiop]

Loved this type of video!

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

thanks :) Shall we do more like this?

[@wetyiop]

CyclingCam that would be greatly appreciated!

[@NielsHeldens]

What a top bloke Steve is. Btw, has he considered my suggestion of using Star Wars as a recovery tool?

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

+Niels Heldens he’s a good guy. I did consider your question butttttt

[@NielsHeldens]

CyclingCam it was too good of a question, I know. You don’t want the other teams to get in on your secret methods.

[@britchambers5884]

NOOOOOO he would not consider this as a recovery tool 😂😂😂 from the real boss hahahahhaha

[@NielsHeldens]

Brit Chambers it’s a great recovery tool! It helps you think of something else than cycling in an entertaining way. And you can get hyped af for the obligatory light saber stuff at the end.

[@britchambers5884]

Niels Heldens we will find something else to watch promise. No Star Wars though unfortunately 😂😂

[@philisdriving1]

great interview and questions! but please not in a noisy coffee shop next time :)

[@James-ki3em]

Steve seems to know what he’s on about.... unlike cam who’s the little kid asking a 100 questions! 😜

[@richardhutchings1980]

first mtb race in 1996. excellent mine was as well. training has evolved a lot since the 1990s. particularly with power meters and smart trainers

[@brennendw]

Great Vid! You keep talking about correct training plans and following a structured training plan but where can you find/get these plans without paying mega bucks for a coach?

[@pelotoncoaching7342]

Hey mate, Want coaching without the bucks? facebook.com/PelotonCoach/

[@britchambers5884]

How much do you think is considered mega bucks? Steve is stupidly affordable with the amount of effort and time he puts into his riders who can call txt whatever anytime and he changes things for the next day or that day right then and there. Frustrating for me awesome for the coated riders he has haha

[@waqidj]

Fking google that shit man come on use thy brain

[@Joeonline26]

Hang on, is this a friend of cycling Cams? Haven't seen him in a vlog or mentioned before.....

[@bradleysteven183]

Love you content! I'm a HUGE Zwift and Strava fan! I actually just started my own Life/Fitness/Travel Vlog. Check it out if you get a minute!

[@siftingtrutheshit2380]

Does he offer any info on what really matter...anti inflammatory cortisone,epo?otherwise is BULLSHIT
