35: James Wilson MTB Fit, Pedal, and Strength

James Wilson is the owner and founder of MTB Strength Systems. He is a mountain bike, strength, and Jujitsu coach based in Grand Junction, CO. He is also the inventor of the Catalyst Pedal. He has pioneered many advanced perspectives on strength training for cyclists, producing content on this topic starting in 2005. Our conversation includes James' thoughts on how power is most effectively made on the bike, how riders should stand more during training, and a model of tension during riding that is broken into four quadrants. Enjoy this discussion which is not only focused on mountain bikes; the concepts discussed apply to all aspects and disciplines of cycling. https://www.bikejames.com https://www.pedalinginnovations.com https://www.bikejames.com/strength/3-bjj-core-training-exercises-to-help-your-mtb-riding/ https://www.bikejames.com/strength/winning-or-learning-learning-or-winninglessons-from-my-bjj-tournament/ The shoes James uses: https://www.somfootwear.com
