    Was never against paying, that is a given. My question was " personal opinion which I understand everyone does not agree with" what do I get for my money. What I can say is S2S( Mr Wakefield) is on the ball, training load is on the fence, could actually feel how I'm sitting perfectly on that Tired/Fresh Fence (Fresh enough to ensure I can hit intervals hard and tired enough to ensure I gain most from workouts) Looking forward to the next Test as all gains ETC will be revealed then, as stated above. Don't think top end would have gone up a lot but efficiency ( not sure if this is due to V02 Max improvements) Exp: I could never just sit @ let say +-3.5wpkg for 60min comfortably after 10min it would start feeling difficult , would need to accelerate then drop the pace, I would eventually hold the+- 3.5 but power graph would be all over the place. Now: I can sit on +-3.5wpkg for 4 hours comfortable , with a very steady Power Graph.

    Had an approved leave application for December holidays , so going back on program from coming Monday , that being said, did most KM in a week ever and most M climbed during a day ever ..so form is above anything I have ever experienced before. Really looking forward to the next few months to see how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

    lol.. jip that was me. Read on the hub that Sonar sessions help boost performance more them EPO So trying a 2 in 1, recovery ride and sonar in 1 :clap: Just joking, since losing most of my fat due to WANA BE FAST, I have become n cold chicken, so keep very warm on easy rides
  4. Stricker
    Well done to them I didn't even make it onto the first page of the results , so shouldn't be talking. All being said, jokes aside. You guys come across as a very nice cycling loving bunch . Keep it up
  5. Stricker
    ok, so savage was talking about the slower rider not the faster one? But the question remains ... DID savage beat the slower rider?
  6. Stricker
    I was right next to the guys in question , My first reaction was like What the hell, then it changed to ...im tasting blood and this guy is about the let it flow..WOW... Guy that was next to me, that I personally witness doing this deed got himself a podium. Unless you telling me there was another guy in red doing the same thing,,, if so then maybe he got top 100 yes

    Honest = Insulting PPL during race report Humor = Guy pissing next to road faster then all of savage So we have a Honest Humor

    had me worried there for a moment, have a reputation to uphold on the hub Anyways, what time do you guys leave gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays ? Seem to just just miss you guys on the road every time. I would be the fellow you went pass going up chappies yesterday with the full on winter gear coming down
  9. Stricker
    The certain fellow in question made top 5 on the day actually better but leave it there. That being said, if reliving yourself during the race makes you achieve that, who are we as NON achievers ( Unless one of your boys actually beat him?) to say what he does is wrong or that he shouldn't do it? Its like saying wanking is better then having sex ,but you are still a virgin Try it, maybe one of you guys will achieve what he did on Sunday Once again, ITS FRIDAY :clap: So just having a little forum fun,, don't take it to serious MR Savage
  10. Stricker
    Savage enjoy dishing out insults(Pain) during their race report , just a pity the same cant be said about them during the actual race. Guy that relieved himself actually gets paid for riding he's, meaning he is as pro as you can get in SA.. ITS Friday.. :clap: No hard feelings savage just an honest observation , still enjoy reading your reports so keep it up

    So , time for an update.. Been on the program for a month now and yes I'm still going strong Program Itself: Its hard yet easy , when I started I hated certain sessions, starting to really enjoy them now, basically its fused me and my bike , can feel how effortless my peddling have become, HR very stable and eating at my weight,turning my body into a ECO friendly machine. The hard sessions I am yet tor puke, but have a feeling its coming, Once a week I have my weekly puke/diarrhea/fainting/ star seeing fix, yes all at once, Feedback from S2S, just perfect , had to shift a few stuff around due to life happening and was done effortlessly. Gains : lets just say am pretty sure I will need to pay after my next test, PB are flying left right and center. So, after 4 weeks, just 4 weeks of structured training I am truly awestruck at how much I have improved, how efficient I have become and how effortlessly I am able to ride at power that makes me think my power meter is faulty. Once Again Thx, John and S2S for making all this possible.

    Was an interesting race: For the 3 guys that broke away in A/B and the two that stayed away.. Well done gents .. very strong ride Timing of attack was just perfect , was pulling going up that climb just before the break so had no answer for the attack. Now for Sunday :clap:
  13. Stricker
    if you have the time, please elaborate a little as I have no clue what you guys are talking about. Is this weight vs power ?
  14. Stricker
    lol, Reading something on a forum or any open ended chat, depends +-50% on guy writing and +-50% on guy reading. Can assure you ,if you read it in the way I wrote it, your opinion of me would be totally different. That being said, I did purposefully poke the bear a little.... Thank for the compliment
  15. Stricker
    So if I get down to 8% and current power stay the same .. = 5wpkg
  16. Stricker
    Easiest gains would be to get my 14% BF to elite level of 8%, not sure how many kg that works out to be, but should increase the wpkg , Then because of my Adhok training , I only managed a 78% FTP vs PPO , with a more structured plan +-85% is possible. So yes 10% + is on the cards if all goes well

    So ....hier gaan ons Age: VA Cycling Period : 25 Months Height : 1.78 Weight : 66kg Body Fat : 14% Relative V02 MAX :63 ml/min/kg Peak Power Output : 395 watts Threshold Power Range : 290-320 Once again thanks S2S
  18. Stricker
    Understood 100% S2S Corrupt way of doing it would have been. See something wrong and not say a word, because this is the base test and everything after this will be compared to this one. So keep quit about saddle height , do test and get best results under current imperfect condition, then advise me to come make another turn during start of program to dial in saddle and follow program from there. Come follow up test I would then not only gain from program , but also from new position, thus showing some serious gains and based on agreement that would directly relate to RANDalas Huge respect earned by doing that.
  19. Stricker
    Mr Wakefield, I have nothing to hide and this was part of the original agreement, so you have my permission to feed the sharks.. Whether 3wpkg or 4wpkg its is ...what it is
  20. Stricker
    Pat, with all due respect , then why ask for the figures if you are not worried? No need to answer
  21. Stricker
    As stated in Review. Mr Wakefield is a true gentleman and done what many would not have. That being said.......he gave me extra watts...are you worried PAT? Just joking around boys please, don't take me to serious
  22. Stricker
    Unfortunately no new FTP.. almost getting dropped while descending... that would have been a first All will be revealed soon
  23. Stricker
    lol... I take it you haven't raced on Zwift before? Happens all the time
  24. Stricker
    Thank You Mr Wakefield. Will do
  25. Stricker
    Thanx Gents, Would it be advisable to do a pre test on trainer before hand to prepare myself for what is about to come?, or should I go blind into the test?
