The amazing quad development of Olympic cyclist Robert Förstemann

[Natural Man]

well, now we know what happens when one's take steroids , and only trains legs while by-cycling heavily.

Strange build, i think we have found someone narrower than Heath.

Upperbody should always be bigger than lowerbody.

agreed, but seeing as he is an actual athlete it doesn't really make much sense for him to fully develop his upper body, since by doing so would it actually hurt his performance as the added weight to his upper body is a "useless" weight since it doesn't aid in his athletic perfromance and in fact would make it harder for him to perform optimally

and on a side note, it always used to bother me to watch a boxing match where a built and scuplted black dude would get dropped by some toady mexican with zero muscle seperation and having a waist the same size as his chest

He's got that weird narrow shoulder structure that Chris Benoit had:





Micheal Hubner was the original German Mass Monster

Poliquin(C) says they do...

Cyclist Squats.

This is a type of squat used by Olympic level cyclists who attain world record performances. In this variation of the back squat, you use a board to rest your heels on in a narrow stance (4 to 6 inches between the heels). The best type of board for this is wedged, so as to minimize the pressure on the arch of the foot. The higher the wedge, the more recruitment of the VMO you will get. You will also find that you will squat more upright when using the wedged board, so less recruitment will occur in the gluteal muscles. At the Poliquin Strength Institute I’ve had special wedges with a nonslip surface made for this purpose. When using a wedge the balance is different compared to regular squats, so make certain to ease into it by using more warm-up sets than you normally perform.

HAHAHHAH fuck this stupid charlatan in his AIDS-ridden ass forever

Haha, cephissus are you saying the key to Olympian quads is not to squat on a board with a 4-6" stance?

What I'm trying to imply is this is just another piece of golden advice comes from the man who once said to aspiring bodybuilders, "if it doesn't swim, jump, or fly and isn't a green leafy vegetable, don't eat it"

Since when did riding a bicycle make one an athlete?   Everybody can ride a bike, but not everybody can skate or throw a football 80 yards.

[james_hetfield]

im sure you can just hop on your bike and ride laps around these guys since you know how to ride a bike

"Anybody", not "Everybody"

Great genetics

What?

OK. Anyone can run, so sprinters or for that matter no track athletes are actually athletes. Anyone can grab you and wrestle with you, so no wrestlers are athletes.  I played baseball when I was 5 years old, so no baseball player is an athlete. Infants can swim, so no swimmer is an athlete. Etc., Etc., Etc.

[fredrollon]

I'd have guessed he was a powerlifter,just based on the muscularity of his physique. Wowser.

[el numero uno]

Anybody can ride a bike but how many guys can be >250 lb @ 6 bf% ?

[Primemuscle]

I just started riding my bicycle again. I live on a hilly street in a hilly neighborhood. Maybe my legs will get big like his....I wish. Mainly when the weather is good, it is more fun to do cardio this way rather then on the stationary bike at the gym.

[musclecenter]

That's not Tom Platz.

Without glute pics, this thread is useless.

How long after your workout concludes do you drink 30 grams of whey?   It's all the difference.  You wait 15 minutes, and you're going to be 175 pounds forever.

If I wanted to invest a couple of years in training strictly on a bike the answer would be yes.
