>Bike to work daily>Every day becomes leg day without even tryingWhat's the catch?
>>77102881The catch is being a bike pleb
>>77102881if i saw him irl id start crying
>>77102892I would start wanking
>>77102891>t. seething leglet stuck in traffic
>>77102881>what's the catchThe catch is bikes don't work the hammies or ass so you end up with massive quads and a Hank Hill ass.>the real catchNo one respects the biking man. Drive a car like an adult.
>>77102958>Drive a car like an adult.you should stop posting, normie.
>>77102958>The catch is bikes don't work the hammies or assthe fuck you one about
>>77103073Actually this is correct.Depending on your posture and limb geometry, in many people it only works the quads.I have this issue, cycling only works my quads.My father is the same
>>77103103yeh right. interesting. my hammies and glutes cop it and I only ride the stationary at the gym. my arse is firm and shapely.
>>77102958OK, so then why are my fucking hamstrings and ass burning after I ride my bike for an hour? Literally, there are more sore than my quads.
Quad/glute balance on the bike is due to personal anatomy, technique and bike fit/geometry. If you’re using your hamstrings on the bike, you’re literally just pedaling wrong or your fit is all fucked up. The motion should be like kicking a soccer ball and then stomping down kind of, you really shouldn't be pulling the pedal back through the weak part of your pedalstroke.
>>77103107Is that what your boyfriend described it?
>>77103440nar my gf. whom i have dumped two loads in today
>>77102958>you end up with massive quadslmao every Lance Armstrong wannabe faggot I ever see pedaling around in their pink spandex all have toothpick legs and look like they're dying of AIDS
>>77103103Raise the seat so you can barely tiptoe the ground.Put your forefoot on the pedals.Now you can easily apply force through the whole circular range of motion
>>77102881what's the catch? you never had a leg day retard. that's just cardio you skinny fuck of an incel zoomer
>>77103564That works in theory, not in practice.Seriously, I have tried all heights and positions There is nothing wrong with being a quad dominant cyclist anyway
>>77102958sad cope. your ass becomes MASSIVE
>>77103701worse than a Rippetoe creation
>>77103701>they got legs this big simply from riding the bike>they didn't lift to get this big to make riding the bikes easierYou got it backwards mate. These guys need to be jacked because these bikes have one single gear and it takes hundreds of pounds of force to start peddling them. Watch the start of one of these races.>>77103002Kek you don't have the ability to drive a car or can't afford one and you think you have the right to talk shit? City fags deserve so much rope.>>77103073You're sitting down when you ride. Your glutes are not engaged as much as you think.>just stand up and peddle BROO so just ride incorrectly and your glutes will get worked? Cool thanks for confirming the standard way to ride doesnt work your glutes. >>77103439This guy gets it.
>just stand up and peddle BROWhat’s wrong with this? t. doesn’t have/need a car or bike but think about getting one for the glutes
>>77103103Agreed, I used to ride about 4000 miles a year and I would have to do some hamstring stuff to balance out or my knee caps would shift out of place and tart hurting me
>>77104582Are you replying to me? You know you can tag the actual post rather than just blindly reply. >what's wrong with standing up and peddlingYou CAN ride a bike that way to hit the legs more completely but that's not how a bike is intended to be used all the time. The majority of the time you're riding sitting down so your ass is not getting engaged as much as it is during running or standing to peddle.
>>77102881Getting hit by a car.
>>77103103>>77104585>someone says something correct>/fit/izens who have zero actual real world experience living life lose their minds screeching about wrong it was>people with actual life experience (You two) chime in and back up the guy who knew what he was talking about (me)That sums up this board full of brown retards nicely.
>>77102881>training a muscle group every dayimpossible, he would be dead of overtraining
>>77103455They also have diets that would make Ethiopians blush in order to optimize aerodynamics. Your point?
>>77105070that riding a faggotcycle doesnt get you big quads any more than push ups gets you a big chest.
>>77105322We're on /fit/. The assumption is that physical activity has selfie confidence boosting in mind.Capital C Cyclists are people with midlife crises who need to turn a sport into their identity, not a means to an end. If you're using it for commuting, you have no excuse not to build quads with a solid diet to back it up. Suboptimal aerodynamics is in fact beneficial for someone in that position.
>>77102958Cope.
>>77105614Based on thickness, glutes contribute a tiny bit more than calves, which contribute the same or more as hamstrings.>>77103701Based on this it looks like glutes contribute way more though.>>77105322Sprinting bikes are like weighted pushups or dips.
>>77102881No one at work likes sweaty, stinky dudes. So either prepare to take a shower at work every day with a spare set of clothes or be ostracized and cut out of any interesting projects and passed up on every possible promotion.Also, inclement weather might fuck up your plans occasionally.But it's certainly doable and something many people do. I used to work for a firm that had a yearly bike to work event. (I never participated.)
>>77107784It's possible to bike to work without getting sweaty if you aren't a lardbeast.
>>77105605normal well-adjusted humans dont need to do shitty useless push ups to have self confidence>>77107746Nobody here is talking about specialized training bikes so who the fuck cares. My point still stands
You become known as the local gaylord
>>77102881>What's the catch?That walking/running is the same thing but better. I walk to work and do sprints when going back home.
>>77104533>Kek you don't have the ability to drive a car or can't afford one and you think you have the right to talk shit?It always amuses me when carfags call others poor. Nigger if you were rich, you'd be living within walking distance of your job. You live in buttfuck nowhere and drive your shitbox to a city because you can't afford rent/property in the city, because that is your only option to subsist.
>>77107746Cycling has definitely made my calves bigger, so glutes being even more worked on is nothing to scoff at.The hamstring question remains, though.
>>77102881>What's the catch?
>>77108624This. My workplace had a shower so I just showered after I got to work.
>>77105035yeah I missed the reply cause cellphoneeither way I dont see whats wrong about just standing up and pedaling, just because it wasn't intended to use that way doesn't mean it can't be used that way all the time
>>77103701holy shit
>>77108231>if you had money, you would spend hours of your day walking everywhere instead of only minutes drivingKek. Holy cope.>you dont live in the cityCorrect. I live away from niggers. And i have a truck which i use to drive around my families 2000+ acres that we own. Cry about it. Bikes are for entertainment not actual transportation.
>>77102881Did a lot of delivery boy work on a bike in cities. RIP my knees.
>>77103411Poor bike fit and outstretched hams. Lower your seatpost.
>>77103701>>77107746>>77108667he's wearing padded shorts you complete nigger brained retards
>>77108781>only minutes driving
>>77109125Yes, most commutes do not involve the road with the most traffic in the entire country. My commute to work is 30 minutes and I even go from the nice town to the spic town because all the white collar jobs go to Whites, the laborers are the locals who take the bus and taxis to work. Even they don't ride bikes.
