I was waching the Tour de France today, partly because I enjoy the strategy behind the sport and partly becuase I wanted to see some people crash.

It occured to me that professional cyclists have trmendous cardiovascular condition but no size to them - somethign like the complete opposite of pro bodybuilders.

These athletes must truly love their sport in order to walk around looking like frail 90 year old crack addicts. They don't even look like men, they look like little boys.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to be super fit but completely lacking any size. What's the point of being able to do all that if you can't bend the bar squatting or pick up a car?

I'd rather be a monster who has trouble walking up a flight of stairs than be fit and lacking a physical presence.

As fellow leg shavers, you should extend your iron-calloused paw to them in brotherhood.

The power those little guys can generate on a bicycle is un-fing-believable. You have to be there on a climb or roller when they accelerate and rage at their anaerobic threshold. Mindboggling. Strange, I know, but a sight to see and even worse to actually experience.

And any extra bodyweight aka muscle, is a huge liability in the high mountains.

Agree with you there, I live in NY and I know some broadway dancers, what they can do with their bodies is mind blowing. The training the do and the condition is unbelievable. But when you see them on the street in just jeans and a T, guys and girls, you would never know they ever worked out. They even look kinda sickly skinny.

Thats one great positive about bodybuilding, we get something visible to show all our work.
