Which muscles do you use the most in XC?

More to the point, which muscles should I concentrate on working out away from MTB? Do you require abdominal strength at any point? Or is there a method I could incorporate.

Thanks and apologies for the 'noob' question, I am useless with sports science.

Regards,

Chris.

No sports scientist here either but in general legs and core. The thread here is probably what you want to read -> viewtopic.php?f=20024&t=12825599
