It's truly crazy how much mass these guys have on their legs. Some of these guys have better wheels than bodybuilders. :eek: These are seriously some of the most impressive legs I've ever seen. They must squat a ton!





 
Holy crap...the right hand side of that second picture...

**broken link removed**
 
Pics are from German cyclist Robert Förstemann


His squat session:

These are guys who do short distance races? or long distance? I'm assuming short....

Either way, how does this effect everyone's training philosophies. Obviously these guys are doing something and it's working
 
It seems to me that cyclists' legs point to the superiority of high-volume training. I don't know about sprint cyclists, but long-distance cyclists (i.e., the dudes who do races like the tour de france) cycle about 6 hrs/day, and although they don't have legs the size of IFBB pros (excepting their calves, which are generally massive), they do sport some pretty sizable wheels.

But, we should also consider manual laborers, like construction workers, who often work their muscles for long hours every day, rarely lifting anything insanely heavy, but lifting moderately heavy stuff over and over again. Construction workers aren't usually freakishly big or muscular. Perhaps the key difference is diet. When I worked construction, I got the impression those guys take in more beer than chicken and broccoli. If construction workers ate more conscientiously, would they be super jacked?

i think its about "intensity". Those cyclist are going balls out sprinting=high muscle fiber recruitment. where a manual laborer is doing lower intensity stuff for longer duration. IDK just thinking out loud

Those are some serious wheels! :eek:

yep and he has a myostatin deficiency, they medically checked that

theres NOT A SINGLE other cyclist with comparable legs.

The guy beside him in the second picture has pretty impressive wheels. They just look average bc they're standing next to him lol.
 
i wonder why their quads seem to dominate?

i would assume their hammies would be larger.
 
Speed skaters are pretty impressive too.
But I can see why cyclist have big legs 10 minutes of hit on a bike is almost as bad as doing high rep heavy squats to failure....plus they are probably all juicing anyway ;)
 
I believe this guy is a sprint cyclist, not one like tdf.

that said, a lot of what pertains to endurance work is what bb is all about.

animal was a pro cyclist and I have learned more then I can say form his ideas and training theories with are all related to real athletics and come from a pro cycle background.

Yeah, I knew he wasn't the Lance Armstrong type. Those guys look very nourished which this guy looks far from. I still can't get over his legs. That second picture is just unreal. It's just one giant slab of muscle.

I think its crazy when you look at them as they just look like they are in shape, but cycling is one of the most drugged up sports out there, I was shocked to learn what they do and the history of drug use they have.

this guy is clearly a freak:eek:
 
Those huge wheels on these guys are indeed impressive. I seriously doubt that these guys do any long range endurance racing.

I know EPO and HGH is huge in cycling, but what else? I'm sure these guys just look normal bc they burn a ridiculous amount of calories each day training. Actually, I can't imagine the amount of calories these guys burn each day. I'm not into cycling, but I've heard that these guys ride like 20-30 miles every day for training. That's intense.... I've also heard that Lance Armstrong has a resting heart rate of 30 beats per minute which is completely believable.
 
Sprint cyclists and sprint skaters have insane legs. Just absurd when their upper body is small since they dont want it big.
