what exercises, and loads, would be sufficient for 1) building bone density and 2) developing muscle recruitment for cycling, other than barbell squats and dead lifts ?
Sorry if I haven’t been specific enough @RobertK.
I am also interested in what exercises build bone density. Is it only strength training? Or can weight bearing endurance activity also stimulate this?
I feel this is relevant to your original question.
Also, as you say, do squats with light weights add to that signalling?
