@hippo No offense - you are not a normal cyclist. What you do doesn't really relate to the majority.
Granted, my training is pretty specific now, but i still do a load of road riding too (more than any other 'sprinter' i know). It's perfectly possible to do both if you aren't training for daft 24 hour races or TransCon.. And there are benefits.
There is a lot of rubbish here about strength training- it's impossible to deny that - I didn't necessarily say that came from you.
So, I'm taking this new Beefcake 4000... I'm like totally ripped but I've noticed my balls shriveling up? Is that normal? Also, my man boobs are giving me a sore back. Should I only eat egg whites? My creatine tastes funny, can I mix it with low-carb beer?
