Responses:

Muscle recovery for bicyclists - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:36 1
- And the info towards the bottom here. -- (link) - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:39
I'm no expert, but stretching post workout, and tons of water helps me. -- nm - MDH Apr 22, 14:02 1
- I put details of what I do below - and I do stretch I left that out -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:04
Like with all muscles, just rubbing it a lot isn't going to make it any bigger. -- nm - nubby Apr 22, 13:56 2
- but you keep trying any way right? -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:03 1
  - Of course. -- nm - nubby Apr 22, 14:05
ceregon, maybe? He knows people and often trains with them. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 22, 13:51 2
- The stuff they do is really hardcore. Several of them use steroids to help their bodies withstand the training. - ceregon Apr 22, 14:00 1
  - see my post one step down -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:03
groiny knows quite a lot. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 13:51 21
- I know a lot about "enhancing muscle" -- nm - groiny si Apr 22, 14:31
- Well will post the question and see if they see it - Capstern Apr 22, 14:02 19
  - I'd say you need some more fresh fruits and veggies. and more variety of them. -- nm - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:28
  - Chocolate milk is good, but it's probably not enough alone. More protein with it immediately after. Eat some carbs before. - pmb Apr 22, 14:14 3
    - this is the latest advice I have heard ... carbs before, protein after. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:21
    - I eat a banana after the cardio or I get horrific leg cramps in my sleep. And I do eat one of my 4-5oz "meals" after -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:16 1
      - there are other (better) sources of potassium. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:21
  - I wouldn't over do it. ~5 pounds per week weight loss is already kind of much. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 22, 14:14 2
    - My body is weird since the GB - i will go 7 in a week then 2 - it kind of does what it wants... - Capstern Apr 22, 14:17 1
      - they call this CKD, I think. cyclic ketogenic. supposed to work well. but you are supposed to do weights with it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:23
  - There is such a thing as over training. It takes time to recover, and the older you get the longer it takes. - ceregon Apr 22, 14:14 1
    - I will try to take in more...hard as my super small stomach can only take so much at a time -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:19
  - eat your spinach (no, seriously.) -- nm - stewie Apr 22, 14:10
  - [deleted] 4
    - yeah more about recovery. I have large muscles already and not trying to build at this time. - Capstern Apr 22, 14:20 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        he's doing an hour and a half a day. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:24
      - I wouldn't base your schedule on marathoners. Have you talked to a trainer? - loosilu Apr 22, 14:22
  - wow. that is hardcore and I don't think I understand why so many peppers. Anyway, there are certainly tons of supplements on the market - loosilu Apr 22, 14:05 2
    - I LOVE spice. and the peppers are sorta like eating a veggie :P - Capstern Apr 22, 14:22
    - oh yes, and also, I think it's just possible that your legs are tired because you're working out like a maniac. - loosilu Apr 22, 14:06
