That is true. I'll never sled reps of 540 again. Partly because I've quit using the sled. But even with my (for a gym rat) teensy amount of weight training, I start seeing good gains after the first month in the fall. So far, so good. Whatever it is, it's enough to keep me competitive with my age groupers on the big climbing rides, though my times aren't what they were 15 years ago, that's for sure. Those days are gone and they're not coming back. My main thing is not to get injured, so I keep lifting, but not too much.
