Derek Teel is the strength coach who built Dialed Health into one of the most accessible cycling-specific S&C programmes online. He works with amateurs from base level to category racing, and his frameworks for off-bike strength — single-leg work, hip hinges, posterior chain, mobility — have shaped how a generation of time-crunched riders think about supplementing their training. For Roadman listeners chasing power, durability, and longevity, his work is a primary practical reference for what strength training for cycling actually looks like.
The major positions Teel is known for in cycling and endurance sport.

“if you do 10 with but you really could do 15 or 16 or really maybe even a little bit more that's how you know that you're probably not getting the stimulus and the adaptation that you're really looking for and so you should increase the weight at that point”
“16 to 20 reps is probably going to be your muscular endurance where you're really building a base of strength and almost like you would an aerobic base”
