Coach Sierra Sims (M.S. Exercise Physiology) breaks down the
science and technique behind muscle tension intervals: one of the
most effective ways to turn gym strength into real power on the
bike.
Whether
you're building your base, coming back from the off-season, or
looking to climb stronger, these workouts teach your neuromuscular
system to produce MORE torque and apply it efficiently across the
pedal stroke.
You’ll
learn:
✔️ What
muscle tension (high-torque) intervals actually
are
✔️ Why
low cadence is so effective for force
production
✔️ How
to combine torque work with strength training for maximum
gains
✔️ How
WorldTour pros use torque blocks from
October–February
✔️ How
to structure these sessions indoors or outdoors
✔️
Real-world workout examples you can try this
week
✔️ How
to avoid knee pain and progress safely
Watch
till the end where Sierra shows you two practical ways to perform
these intervals so you can do them anywhere — on Zwift, on climbs,
or on rolling terrain.
