Nayr Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Not a fact at all. As long as you sort your training and diet, you won't go catabolic (waste muscle) and can dump a lot of fat and thus weight. Many people who train properly to loose weight will drop a fair amount of kilos while picking up lean mass. If you want to do the Froome thing and loose as much muscle from areas not directly contributing to your cycling, again adjust your training and diet.Partly a fact - in that most people try lose weight quickly which means they do go into a catabolic state... Unfortunately you can't do this on a Fad diet or quickly, it all takes time. Most trainers would promote increasing power first before weight loss (unless of course you are grossly overweight, thats a different story) in order to increase watts per kg rather than lose weight for the increase because the long term gains will be beneficial... Effectively the increased muscle will increase your metabolic rate which will promote the weight loss over time.
BarHugger Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Mossel?The question is thus...... "Will you be enjoying services from "De Vette (or is it Natte?) Mossel" during the holiday season?" Mossel Bay is nice this time of the year.

Deon D Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Its easy to resolve. Strap on a 20kg rucksack and feel the pain. I'm a 104kg machine and hill climbs are not my friend anymore.
keithbe Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 If you should weight 60kg but are a remarkable 75kg, as a result of an irregular diet etc., and cycle uphill with someone that should weight, and does, 75kg it's pretty evident who has the better power to weight ratio provided the riders are of similar experience/expertise/fitness and regularity of riding. The experienced 60kg individual, that is actually 75kg, will whip the pants off a weekend warrior, that cycles maybe 15km on Sundays (only), that is at the 75kg they should be. Ideal weight power to weight ratio trumps overweight power to weight ratio all the time; provided the individuals circumstances, that are being compared, are taken into account. Same can be said for age. Those little fuc...sorry, youngsters that have never ridden before get on a bike for the first time and ride like pros leaving said weekend warrior in the dust. There are also those really 'aged' riders, that look 120 with helmet on, and you wouldn't think they could do 5...hundred meters that again leave the younger weekend warrior in the dust. It's all relative...
