+ 12 The underrated benefits of cycling(on a bike)
I've never been a huge cardio fan, as I'm sure most of you can relate to. Recently, I took a trip to the Florida Keys. Throughout this trip I rented a bicycle for my transportation. I went to Florida relatively lean, on 250mg/week of UGFreak's Test E, knowing that I would indulge in plenty of food/drinks. What happened blew my mind... I completely stuffed my face and somehow ended up leaner as the trip went on. I biked about 20 miles a day and had no other physical activity. Has anyone else had such a positive vacation experience? I was worried about softening up over the week but now that I know what I do now I think renting a bike will be in all my vacation plans! In fact, I'm looking to purchase a bike for year-round use. Does anyone have any suggestions on brands that combine solid affordability with functionality? Thank you!

Biking helped keep my lower body in great shape for a long time in between time i trained.... relyed on " playground workouts"
Chins pushups dips ect..... and all i did fpr lower body was bodyweight lunges and rode miles and miles a day. Over a big bridge twice a day and after 2 months i could go up this 30 degree incline for half a mile no handed...... thats leg power that i had to work at bigtime... it kept my leg strength the whole time. I went back in the gym squating 225 for 15 reps after 9 months of no squats......cycling is a very great addition to bodybuilding/ fitness... also underrated...
Thanks for sharing, wish I am there too.
Great physique. Shorts are dope too, +1 from me.
I just bought a road bike to cycle to the gym and back. You definitely wanna get one that fits your height. Mines a ‘Scott’ I pretty much ride it 15-20 miles a day and am loving it. Nice advice.
I honestly think we all know the benfit of 20 mins bike/running/walking fast after workouts but some of us are too lazy to do it & we rather lift weights only. True fact
When I go on a vacation I usually gain about 20kg haha +1
Good work. I'm not surprised at the fat burning of biking! Ever see a fat competitive cyclist? + 1
Even most of the serious hobbyist cyclers are shredded. Killer workout and low impact which we need if you’re carrying serious muscle

Solid! Glad to read your nice story buddy. Keep going
Sweet pink pineapple shorts bro!

Appreciate it brotha!
Looking good.
My bike has about 110 HP.
Cycling is for pussies. We all blast round here haha
Joking! Solid physique mate, you’ve obviously got some talent in the kitchen.
I’m not sure the mechanics of it but I had a weekend of stuffing my face with takeaways and the mother in laws home made biscuits (been on 1,600 calories life a few weeks now) and woke up Monday drier than ever. Could be the salt?
Carb loaded. Your muscles filled up with glycogen and each molecule of glycogen takes four molecules of water. It pulls this water from subq which dries you out. Whole premise behind carb loading and water manipulation for a prep.
Makes complete sense, I was extremely surprised to see more ab definition!
Looking great man!
As for bikes, not sure about brands because not sure where your from but I'd get a fixed gear bike if I were you. something about not have the option to change gears even when going up hill that makes you work harder and once you get used to cycling in that gear it'll feel great being able to keep pace going flat and incline.
Good points.. I like that angle!
Sounds like an awesome vacation. +2
Thank you sir! First time in FL and it did not disappoint.
Yukon_JackFla. Is beautiful. Lived there for 8 yrs. Board shorts & flip flops 365days a year. The heat was brutal for me though. Fla. Is for newly weds & nearly dead. Great for vacationing but not to live imo. No disrespect to u Floridians lol.
