In the gym today, we were watching one guy race around the rink, and discussing his impressive quads, and what his leg workout must be.

Then the race finished, and she took her hood off and flicked her pony-tail. :shock:

Your gym has a rink??? :shock: That is so cool! I used to wear my skates to bed I loved them so much :shifty: Speed skating, not some lame swan lake stuff :pfft:

I snapped my leg in half rollerblading down Thorndon Quay :grin:

I roller skated down Hay Street in Wellington... Across Oriental Parade, in a brand new pair of skates (point being brand new bearings and wheels - max speed), my life flashed before my eyes, not the smartest thing i've ever done.

Luckily I crossed the road without being taken out by a car travelling 50kmph, caused a few cars to lock-up tho (after i had already passed them) but no crashes thankfully.

Problem was after I got 1/5 way down it was 2 late to stop, aside from face planting the ashvelt.

I have 1 witness, I only wish it was on Video.

Oh yes and they have mean quads

they do alot of plyometrics and squats. also they have to work all the little muscles in their legs for when they are going around corners on insane angles. there is a documentary on youtube somewhere I think its called "How the they train: Speed Skaters"

No, but it does have a TV. Sorry, I didn't really spell that out.

just goes to show that endurance training also builds big legs,not just low heavy reps.
