Thats some crazy legs
20-30 miles a day for endurance style training is nothing...there's days of 120+ miles...for training.
yep and he has a myostatin deficiency, they medically checked that
theres NOT A SINGLE other cyclist with comparable legs.
I want a myostatin deficiency.
Damn, that is insane and hard to believe. Not saying you're lying, but 120 miles a day is crazy. I wonder how hard their body rebounds after they stop this intense training. Seems like the body would get use to that and if you stop training then you'd get fat as hell, real fast haha.
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.
Since I started bike riding,mountian bike especially,I have put 2.5 in on my thighs and definition and separation greatly improved.

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.

don’t know where to begin; in my opinion . . .
Cyclists' legs DO NOT point to the superiority of high-volume training. ‘Sprint cyclists’ (think fixed gear, velodrome . . . look it up if
you don’t know what it means) have the best leg development. In muscular physiology, typically; endurance = smaller, intensity = bigger.
There is high volume, low intensity, and there is low volume high intensity. Not interchangeable.
Distance cyclists, Tour rider’s leg development while ‘developed’ are nothing special. I know one of the top tour riders (until he got busted
for doping; he lives near me) and I have photographed many pro cyclists, and their leg and calf development has generally been disappointing.
It may seem to you that they ‘sport some pretty sizable wheels’ but that is only because their upper bodies resemble coat hangers.
Pro women riders are a different story . . . their legs are generally superior to men’s. Go figure.
I am surprised Flex2019 has not chimed in. He rode big time if memory serves. And I don’t think he attributes his superior calf development
(the best on PM) to bike riding . . . but I could be wrong.
A myostatin deficiency in a particular body part? I don’t think so.
Who are ‘they?’ Would welcome some references here . . .
