Haha I hadn't seen that, that's awesome! I'm suprised by the wattage though, maybe they are hamming it up, but 700w for a minute shouldn't be that crazy. I've done that, and I'm not a track cyclist. I think most of those guys doing the kilo are looking at 800w-1100w for 1', which is absolutely stupid. Generally working…

Part of that is that hills are generally more competitive in my opinion. They are also generally less subjected to wind effects, so it's easier to get good times on flat/downhill segments with the right wind if you ride in an area alot. Beyond that, as you seem aware, hills are about pwr/weight. If you're friend is 2/3…

When you say poor hill climber, what context do you mean that in. Poor as compared to the people you normally ride with (i.e. you keep up or are stronger on the flats and then get dropped on hills?) or is there some other reason you think you are poor. Hills are simply a matter of watts/kg, so the main thing you do to get…

HR will generally by marginally lower when seated than when standing, for exactly the reason you mentioned. Also, as you mentioned in a later post, the issue, especially when coming to cycling from some other aerobic sport, is developing specific oxygen delivery ability. You can have a powerful aerobic system, but if you…

Interesting. I think you should be able to max your HR pretty quick. Day to day variance can happen, but you should still get close. Here's a 3' of mine: HR basically pegged at low 180s by the time I was done. Then below is me doing the same thing, but for 1' max, Same idea, HR pretty much pegged at low 180s which is near…

That's the right lyrics, yep. :)

Of the butterfly *bonus pts if you get the song lyrics reference

Great slayer eyes are incredible. That and a nice lean body a tight butt. Much more a lean and firm guy than a voluptuous one if I'm being completely open.

Good, natural smile? Or still seems snarky/creepy?

Kinda. Calories burnt are going to be a product of your average power (can think of this as pace for running) during the workout. In other words, if you do a running workout where you alternate 200m at 6:00 mile pace with 200m at 10:00 mile pace, and do that for 4 miles, you'll burn the same calories as you would if you…

For six months I'm happy where I'm at (except for skwaat, because I didn't skwaat, cause cycling) 225lbs Skwaat 225lbs Bench, paused 350lbs deadlift BW: 73kg/160lbs Hoping by 12 months I can get close to 315/250/405. Deadlift might be a stretch, squat if I decide to work on it is basically untrained.

An intensity above anaerobic capacity? Perhaps you're using anaerobic capacity the same way in a similar or identical matter to anaerobic threshold. I.e. maximum aerobic steady point. At easy exercise, aerobic glycolysis/kreb's can fuel all neccessary energy. It can do so up until a point that is commonly called by many…
