It will be very different from the videos Doge posted.
And if you want to see heavy lifting, follow some track sprinters, who are more like power lifters who ride bikes - sometimes.
Her training (video below) is very similar to what my daughter did for goal keeping. And not surprisingly as the kind of things MTB/cx put you through vs road racing.

We've see Sagan training videos and those are different too, as would be track.
