Welcome to Strength Deconstructed! A web resource devoted to overall Fitness, Health, and Strength Development.
An integral part of my ironman triathlon training involves core strength development beyond all the other training for swimming, biking, and running. Coming from a bodybuilding background, I wasn’t exactly the typical long distance endurance athlete – growing up I focussed on “burst power” type sports like football, basketball, track and field, etc etc.
The thought of having to race for 10, 11 or 12 hours straight for an ironman distance triathlon was initially insane! In any case, the time spent in the gym was not wasted as my strength development from my younger years definitely helped me develop into a long distance endurance athlete – training is a lot different now and I honestly feel a lot better overall from a fitness and “useful strength” perspective. Strength comes in many different forms, and how to gain “strength” – whether for bodybuilding, or sports specific strength like triathlon – is the subject of this blog. I hope you enjoy the information that will be contained within! cheers, Tavis |
