Hey @intheways. I don’t have strength standards when it comes to concurrent training, only when I’m focused solely on strength conditioning or solely on endurance training. I find it difficult because I’ve recognized benefits (on the bike) from max-strength lifts as well as highly metabolic workouts which are really whole-body VO2max work. Anyone who calls CrossFit a strength sport has never really done CrossFit. Sure, there’s a big strength element involved, but the best of those guys & gals have exceptional aerobic/anaerobic capacities, i.e., metabolic capabilities.
But to my point, I’ve seen certain aspects of my riding improve when I focused mostly on heavy lifts but I’ve also felt stronger, more controlled, less taxed when I was doing the high-rep, timed workouts too. So it’s been some time since I favored one type of strength training over the other, and hence, defiined any real standards to chase - other than continuous, measured improvement, e.g., more reps at the same weight, more weight, better form on technical lifts, faster times, etc.
As with so many training stressors and adaptations, it’s probably quite subjective (who’da guessed) in that any strength work that accompanies improved performance on the bike (and with concurrent training, who’s to say what really drove the improvement) is a win. Not much of a useful, go-this-direction answer, but it’s just one of those topics.
And FWIW, benefits on the bike or not, my personal goals include 100 alternating pistols (unbroken), 20 strict pull-ups, 1.5x BW bench, 2x BW squat, 2.5x BW deadlift, 20 1-arm pushups/arm, any number of one-arm pull-ups, and random other daunting and maybe never-to-be-realized, ‘fun’ goals.
