again, why would a cyclist need to weight train his arms? thats like saying a sprinter would be weight training his arms. having huge arms as either of those is a liability if anything.

that particular dude probably has great arm genetics to begin with, and the constant gripping/clenching of the bars coupled with his genetics and steroid regime is enough to give him impressive arms.

there is absolutely no reason for this guy to be in the gym doing curls  ::)
next thing we will hear from you is how to built big arms and forearms by taking steroids and jacking off. please..

We are really deling with three different questions,

How much weight training do they do?
How much drugs do they take?
How much does the cycling affect growth.

Doesn't sound like anyone knows here for sure.

Hope that helps/End of thread

You are correct. But, for Disgusted to say that sprinters and sprint cyclists don't weight train legs is highly ignorant, especially for a high level guru like him.

What you said is key to all of this.

For the same reason EVERY athlete weight trains.

With drugs it's enough with the activation the arms get when doing sprint training on the bike.

 You never rode a bike before?  It can involve a lot of back and arms when you accelerate all out on low gears.

I snapped a handle bar off this way. Suddenly had it in my hand and was sort of running on the bike to not fall. It was pretty embarrassing.

I have noticed that you tend to pull on the handles even if you wouldn't have to.

By the same logic..Wouldnt "pulling" the handles result in "big backs" too?

Elite sports are very selective, those at the top have a the genetics and the commitment. Track cycling, which is very explosive, will favour athletes with a lot of fast twitch fibers, e.g. muscular build. Take a look at good look at cyclists at the other end of the spectrum: climbers. There's is just no elite climber that has a track cyclist build and vice versa.

Are the great climbers really skinny? I didn't know that.

If any of you think the arms in the first pic, if not shopped, are from "pulling up on the handlebars" you are some of the dumbest mfers on this site......idiots.....

And the climbers are endurance athletes, so they tend to be stringy or have that skinny fat look that endurance athletes have. Large muscles have no place, track cyclists need explosive speed=larger muscle, fast twitch muscle...

If you look at the Greyhound vs The Spanish Galgo, you'd see a very similar build, except the greyhound's muscles are rounder and fuller, and have more fast twitch fibers, the Galgo's muscles are flatter, and it has less fast twitch fibers...the Galgo is used to course hares and rabbits over a longer period, so it needs endurance over outright speed...

We had a track cyclist years ago, Curt Harnett, who was quite noted for the prodigious leg workouts he did in the gym. Did ok internationally, too.

How about he is working his arms so they look better?  Just like everyone else who picks up a weight.  Loser.

Seems to be much admired by muscle-worshippers




Also seems that he does a lot of weight training

Because they are the elite at what they do...now compare them to 90% of the rest of the athletes doing the same sport...they won't have the same development.

Genetics.

Too many people use the word genetics when they can not explain something that they don't know the answer to. Genetics will determine what your muscles will look like in a larger state due to muscle belly length fiber density etc., but it has nothing to do with how a muscle grows unless in a rare event someone happens to be deficient in the myostatin gene for example. When I was a kid I remember seeing my neighbor hitting a tennis ball off a wall. He did this for hours almost evberyday. His forearm was almost twice the size as the other and it was also probabley bigger than anyone elses I had ever seen. This guy was pretty tall and lanky so he had bad genetics for BBing and he never lifted a weight in his life at that point. So logic would dictate that his forearm growth was from gripping a tennis racquet each time he hit a ball against a wall and he did this hundreds of thousands of times. I'm guessing that if he took some Dbol that his forearm would have gotten even bigger. If anyone else has a better explanation for this then I'm all ears.

 So what do these guys do to get those legs?

 Is it the bicycling?

 Is it high rep weight training?

 Or are these guys just the most genetically gifted?
