Just lean and very small. Pro roadies are miniature in the real world. A 6ft dude at 65kg is tiny so their bone structure is on display (also why they bust collarbones all the time).

When i used to watch the track worlds at the velodrome some guys were fucking massive. Boatloads of drugs but when you looked at their training routine you could understand why.

His quads are 28inches. He's only 5'9" with a unique structure, so his muscle development looks almost goofy. But, he's a real athlete competing in a sport.

The size she has is 1. crazy genetics 2. She's a sprinter, to be specific, Kirin.

When she's not training here (she travels A LOT) she trains at the Olympic Training Center. Our routine is nothing special, it's the same one she uses on the road and at the OTC.

Olympic lifts, Heavy squat (yes, box) and a TON of posterior chain both bi and unilateral. We always train conjugate


Her track routine is crazy, mostly Alactate sprints with one lactic ride per week (62-70 miles inside of two hours)

Unless she is motorpacing, she doesnt ride  62-70 miles under two hours, lol. Three hours, maybe. I was just at a pro race in Greenville, SC and the pace was 26.7 mph for 2 hours...

I'm talking about her once a week lactic ride (road cycling) and yes, she does. I don't set her cycling schedule.

She absolutely doesn't ride 70 miles under two hours on the road, lol. No one does. Not the peloton at the Tour de France. Not any professional bike race ever ridden. I think you are misunderstanding her. Was she saying 70 kilometers (43+ miles) ? That would make sense. She is a track racer so she would not be very quick on long rides anyways. All trackies suck at distance unless they are pursuiters (4000-5000 meter races).

“Joe! I'm doing great! How are you guys? Also, excellent question. If I was doing a solo 2-hour ride it was usually between 40 and 50 miles (depending on hills vs. flats, wind, etc). In a group ride with the distance would be around 60 (drafting helps SO MUCH on those days). Some endurance workouts are better or worse than others depending on all of the variables, haha 😊”

That's a bit more believable... 70 miles in 2 hrs is too much. I think the hour record is about 35 mph, after all.

Yes, I was off a little. Her distance rides would either start at my facility or the bike shop close to us. From HB she would ride South down PCH (fairly flat) all the way up to Newport Coast. Up Newport Coast (very hilly) then back down (not sure where) a loop that would take her back down. I would have to guess she made good time on the flat part of PCH then on the down side of the loop back down to PCH.

Coach, what do you feel is the actual gain for doing weights for the purpose of cycling? is it more posture/pain prevention? Weight target to optimise power/weight?

I am geared crazily towards anaerobic and raced keiran some time ago. I can sprint well but not a pure sprinter. a 20-30 second effort is where i am at the top.

My experience has been heavy weights plus riding and low dose test for blood was not as effective as light weights (as in.i could train.3x/wk the time bodypart without problem and no doms) plus riding plus low dose test for blood.

There is always a mixture of bodytypes at the track. big muscle guys, dudes at 80kg, dudes that are fat. No bodytype really seems to overwhelmingly win. in fact the big muscle guys dont seem to win all that much.

Are trainers looking to keep bodyweight down now?   I'm also talking hypothetical athletes who are 'on'. Trends change over time so is it more mobaility stuff.and injury prevention?

He's probably not concerned with symmetry. Like runners, bicyclist tend to have disproportionately large, muscular legs and smaller/lighter upper bodies.
