My success coaching and incorporating PCs.
By greg combs | Published  07/23/2007
This season has been a great success for me as a coach and a cyclist.  One of my clients Justin Beard of Southern Pines, NC started out as a Cat IV racer and he has been racing as a Cat II for the past two months.  The PCs really helped him.  Along with getting him on the bike correctly which increased his power output by 32 watts... the PCs increased his power output an additional 43 watts in 8 weeks.

I have been using PCs as well for the past few years.  The main improvement I can attest to is how the PCs have helped me with a muscle imbalance.  My power output has improved greatly (65 watts) over the past 2 1/2 seasons.  Not to mention the reduction in back pain I was having from my muscle imbalance.

More to follow...
ciao,
Greg
