wanna share a better way to performance enhancing

[weisan]

Last week I rode on my regular route and from the get go, I was going a lot faster than I usually do, and was practically flying up the hills. It took me almost 20 minutes into the ride before I realized what was going on.

I forgot my water bottles.

:D

things were going so well that I decided to continue and rode all the way to my designated rest stop at a convenient store 20 miles away. Fortunately. the weather was nice and cool, a mere 60 degrees.

Please share your performance enhancing experience (other than the usual suspects).

Stretching regularly. And six shots of espresso.

I experienced both of these today at my ride. I stretched in the morning and that did wonders to the ride later. Coming back was a blast with the tailwind behind our backs.

Louis pal, I most definitely don't know what you are talking about. :rolleyes:

I want to say that having nice looking rabbits to chase helps,
because over the weekend I chased down 5 females racing in there own category who set off in front of me in a time trial.

But then again it might have just been my fitness that let me go so fast.
Ended up first in my category over my riding buddy, on a flat course, who out weighs me but he didn't have good looking rabbits to chase.

One HUGE thing for me is rest..good night's sleep, great ride...Poor or short..poor ride. BTW-I wouldn't recommend not taking hydration...what was it, 'drink before you are thirsty, eat before you are hungry'..on a ride?

BTW-a liter of water weighs 2 pounds..a water bottle is about 2 liters...8 pounds total..3500 grams on a 82,000 or so gram 'package..4%...:eek:

4% faster?..up a hill .6mph faster...:)'flying'........:)

kj pal, I must be hanging with the wrong crowd. I could never find a group ride that has more than 1 or 2 female riders in our midst. And even if they show up, they often hang so far in the back that I almost have to pedal backwards to keep up. :p

^ Depends on what kind of workout you're looking for...

buddy did the testosterone shots, once a week. Then after 3-4 months had heart problems. use caution, use under doctor's supervision.

Bring water, it's ok to be slow, it's not a race, your not being paid, nobody cares about your speed, your car won't leave by itself. If you need to take a SAG do it.

Bro, yuck.

[alexstar]

Lots of sleep, up at dawn, a croissant and two coffees (espresso is best). Works great.

What about the shriveled nads, acne, and uncontrollable rage?

[icepick_trotsky]

Bro, yuck.

For real.

[Blown Reek]

Please use the non-deragatory term "trim" to describe females in lieu of "rabbits".

Off by a factor of two at least. A typical water bottle is less than 1 lt, 24oz or 1.5 pounds.

[weisan]

My bike planes without the water bottles.

strong +1 on the rest/sleep issues.
Healthy amounts of sleep means a healthy level of hormones which means good recovery from workouts and less inflammation. I've also found that good sleep means less cravings for junk food, so less weight. :banana:

Hey, do you want "enhanced male performance" or not? (that's what the ads on the sports-talk radio station call it)

I am still working on your first performance enhancing tip, losing 10 pounds. Except I need to lose 40.

Seeing one of these (like today) speeds me up.

I am in the lots of rest up early morning crowd. A good nights sleep, a cup of real good and strong coffee, and a piece of toast with yogurt and and honey on it. With that combo I am good for a fast two hour hammerfest on my favorite loop.
Come home clean up and have a great breakfast just as everyone is getting up,
love it.

oh well, fail at math 101..guess my point is that 3-4 pounds on a 170 pound rider+bike wouldn't make the world of difference in performance....

[AngryScientist]

free running RD jockey wheels :D

This is very true for me also. Today was such a case where I crushed all my PR’s. Sure enough I had a good tailwind.

I have noticed, personally and by observing others, that, in the weight room, the intensity of lifting goes up significantly when there are attractive female lifters on the floor.
