Help with diet!

[waldo]

just a sidenote... HIIT on the bike. VERY taxing on the quads. almost like another leg day even. this might be a bit durrrrr but I had to switch from doing them on the bike to sprints 'cos my quads got too big compared to everything else im just showing off here lol. sprints (teamed wit weight training of course) seemed to even things out more.

Anyway yeah. As you were.

A small piece of advice from an ex-cyclist....after pushing down on the pedals, sweep your toes thru the bottom of the pedal stroke and flex your hammies to bring the pedal thru. Then pull up with your toes and hip flexors to complete the stroke. This way you'll end up emphasising all leg muscles, rather than just quads. It's an easy trap to fall into when cycling, to be quad dominant, but you get so much more power using all muscles, and certainly don't fatigue as easily.

Great advice waldo

I would always push off the top half of my sole onto the pedals for the entire movement/stroke Time to practice... :grin:
