This goes for more than lifting. The act of riding, lifting, working out, making your body hurt, is not what actually makes you stronger (if anything it makes you weaker). Its the trigger I suppose, but not the action. Its the recovery and over compensation that your body is trying to build stronger for next time. Rest, and really sleep, is where you get stronger.

Only thing you need on race day is to warm up. If you can lift and race on the same day, you are not doing them right
