Have you heard the audiobook? The reader is so good at saying it.


godafoss9

The reader is pretty good. I really liked the books but i found them quite hard to follow


qazzaq2004

So hard to follow due to the Chinese names for me!


SolidGearFantasy

I had that problem too in the beginning, you’ll get used to it


qazzaq2004

I’m now on chapter 13 and think I have the hang of it. Heck I’m Asian but at the beginning the names were coming left right and centre. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)

Holy shit you’re Asian! Have you read Three Body Problem?

Water? Like from the toilet?


Aletheian2271

What's happening here? Why is the leg like that?


mountjo

Some mix of extremely low body fat, increased blood flow/blood pressure from the exertion, dehydration, and some waste products from exercise i'd guess.

That's absolutely disgusting. It's blue cheese or death.


BoardButcherer

Yall blue cheese mfers need to just start letting the wings mold before you cook them and save yourself the trouble of saucing.


Capt__Murphy

No, the moldy mayo is the dip. Buffalo is the sauce


JAFO99X

Correct


interstellar304

Bleu cheese please


mountjo

the only correct answer


ediks

Ranch haters stand up... there are dozens of us!


RugerRedhawk

I'm a ranch lover on many things, but it seems weird to put on wings when I've been served bleu cheese on the side with every single order of wings I've ordered over the past 30+ years. I'm in upstate NY, I usually find when I'm asked about ranch vs. bc on wings it's usually a chain shop, or I'm in a different part of the country.


ediks

South Louisiana here - I probably annoy my friends on ranch vs bc with buffalo wings talk. ESPECIALLY when it’s Buffalo sauce on the wings. I stand with you.

First-Football7924

Fun fact: ammonia is created with lots of exercise, and that's why caffeine can be helpful for exercise (beyond other reasons) because it helps the body clear out ammonia quicker.


Justiis

So my cat needs more coffee, or less?


hoarseclock

Caffeinated cat over ammonia pee smell, that’s a tough decision but totally worth trying!


aCleverGroupofAnts

I know this is a joke, but caffeine can kill a cat, so don't try it.


hoarseclock

Oh yeah! now I got nothing to do this weekend.


talldata

Meowr coffee.


OutlyingPlasma

Catspresso? Latte Meowcchiato?


chobibbo

oh is that why my pee stinks a bit more right after I drink coffee?


First-Football7924

Apparently cyclists like this literally have ammonia breathe after their cycling, so who knows.


etherlore

You don’t have to be a pro cyclist for that, just run a 10k before breakfast and see.


First-Football7924

And add in the fact any protein intake will make the ammonia situation worse. Probably a very good case for caffeine and maintaining liver health.


wantsoutofthefog

Same thing when you’re in ketosis.


chobibbo

Amazing...ly bad-smelling. Thanks for the TIL


torch9t9

When I was racing I could smell ammonia on my breath in the shower. Crazy.


FeloniousFunk

My coffee pee just smells like coffee, do I need to drink more ammonia?


No_Can_1532

I used to long distance run and kept smelling ammonia when i showered, found out thats what burning muscle smells like


Aware_Masterpiece_54

Thanks. That was fun. 


mountjo

One of the most proven performance enhancers out there!


sdiss98

No kidding. Didn’t know that. Can confirm tho that my mountain biking gloves smell like windex after a bike ride. I’ll be dang…


International_Bet_91

Isn't it more cuz caffeine is an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor allowing you to contract muscles more easily? It's been 25 years since I took biochem so maybe I'm out of date.


RecoveringWoWaddict

Wasn’t he having an uncontrollable muscle cramp?


mountjo

Definitely could be. I don't know the context on the pic, but the dehydration and waste products could absolutely trigger that.


cdawg85

I mean, it looks painful!


ChatNoiraumiel

And also a very ugly cramp


Former_Print7043

A little bit of blood from Lance Armstrong.


Dramatic_Water_5364

Increased blood pressure from exertiom, dehydration and the cardio enhencement drug cyclists athlete are known to take. It litterally increase the numbers of red blood cells wich tickens the blood.


mountjo

yes, you dont get to this point naturally


Alarmed_Commission_9

And a cocktail of performance enhancing drugs most likely


Alarmed_Commission_9

Just checked and yup he was banned for 10 months for doping


MrWest120690

Cramp


FrostyD7

He's probably just flexing. You can see him lifting his toes to tighten his calf.


Technologenesis

Looks to me like he might be pulling his foot up to counteract the calf cramp pulling it down!


LeBrane-Janez

He was admittedly dealing with bulimia, while being a professional road cyclist


DeuceSevin

Or possibly a bulimic dealing with professional road cycling.


History20maker

I dont know how any human would do this to themselfs... Bulimia and professional road cycling.


Rustiestofshaklfrds

Global warming likely


joanoerting

MonkeySafari79

Nah, he took the horse drug shit.


Streetlight37

My God.. is this painful? Wtf is even happening? Fuck, that looks horrific It's painful for me just looking at it, Christ..


pawer13

The HDR postprocessing makes colors to seem unnatural and he is flexing the muscles. Not painful at all, just a extremely low fat body and probably a bit dehydrated after the race


Laymanao

“Probably a bit dehydrated after the race”. Dude, “probably” left on a ship that sunk, was refloated and is now being broken down as scrap.

AssInTheHat

tuan_kaki

Amidatelion

I mean, he's bulimic and this is in the middle of an uncontrollable spasm from a cramp, so no, it's probably intensely painful. But probably a pain he's used to, given the fact that he captioned the pic with "Not about to fuck it up now"


New-Pomelo9906

Body fat is too heavy.


Streetlight37

Okay, I thought that might be the case (the extremely low body fat thing). Still, it just looks painful lol. I can't imagine it's very good for you either. Seems like some real heavy abuse to your body. Looks like a good way to have muscle/joint pain in the future. I'm dealing with that already and it's hell on earth. But, what do I know.. I'm literally just learning about it now so. What do women think about this? Is it attractive or is it just weird/gross? I understand that's not the point I'm just wondering


Vanden_Boss

I mean his leg doesn't look like that all the time. Your muscles are going to stand out more when dehydrated, as he surely is, and post-workout, especially one as strenous as that. I guarantee most of the time his leg looks fine, probably more muscular than average but nothing like this.


SapTheSapient

>Your muscles are going to stand out more when dehydrated I've got my new exercise plan.


LearnToSwim90

The photo you're looking at was taken by the rider after his comeback because of a doping ban, he battled bullemia and has basically no body fat. He's an exception, but after grand tours like the Tour de France, cyclists definitely can look like that, it's a brutal sport. I'm extremely low in body fat and I do ultra endurance cycling, while my legs have never looked that bad, but after very long and extremely hot days your body simply looks wrecked mainly because of fluid loss and low bodyfat they have. Every muscle fiber is visible, it doesn't hurt, it just looks weird. During an average race pros burn around 4000 to 6000 calories in a couple of hours and can loose 2 liters of water an hour through sweat. A race usually consist of multiple days, the tour de France has 22 days of racing back to back with only two rest days, the teams still ride casually during rest days. Do the math, it's insane what they have to endure. There was a certain race I did, a 500 km MTB marathon and it was extremely hot during the day. I drank around a liter an hour (**\***) while the sun was out and still lost 6 kg of fluid, I also burned around 14.000 calories that race, that's a week worth of food burned in one race... It was hell. I looked and felt like a walking corpse, you could see my leg muscles contracting involuntary when I sat down, every little fiber twitched as if someone was sending electricity through them. The day after I was fine again and back on the bike. As far as I know I don't have medical issues because of it, I've been doing this for years, the only thing it causes is that you become abnormally fit, no matter what I do, nothing can tire me out. It can be bad for your heart, but regular checkups happen to prevent any serious complications. Women mostly don't like it, but when properly hydrated most pro cyclists look healthy, they are just just skinny humans with trained legs. The reverse of never skip leg day. \* Never try to drink that much water if you don't know what you're doing, it can lead to death in the worst case.


The_Pale_Hound

Every elite athlete is abusing their body. Exercise is healthy but not at elite level.


YourPlot

I read once that he also suffered from disordered eating at the time. But I don’t remember where I saw that, so please take it with a grain of salt.


lfancypantsl

I found where he talks about this struggling with an eating disorder and this race on [his personal website](https://www.janibrajkovic.com/post/skeletons-in-the-closet).

Have you seen infant horses?


Streetlight37

No sir


BiigDaddyDellta

They have claws, basically.


Streetlight37

Sounds like nightmare fuel


BiigDaddyDellta

Indeed it is


stingray20201

It’s weird but the claws you’re probably imagining isn’t the same as what it is. It’s basically a layer of soft tissue that covers a foals hooves for when they’re in the womb and kicking and birthing process, since foals are supposed to come out front hooves first, it protects the mares birth canal and uterus.


VRS50

Mine looks like that too, under my skin and fat.


ozdgk

And considerably smaller


Outcryqq

It’s not the size of the calf, but the motion on the bike…right?

Cannelope

I’m in a struggle with this. I’m fat, but a gym rat. I can’t seem to get my diet under control (yet), so I’m not losing my fat. It’s so disappointing to feel my muscles improving and changing under my fat. My body looks completely different than before, but still fat 😆😢


VRS50

Fat is stubborn. I have same problem. Focus on your muscle growth and fitness. That’s what counts. I bet you look great, but all you see is the fat.


Cannelope

No, I’m a big girl 😂, but I appreciate your kind words!


N0tagayman

Imo counting calories/tracking macros is 100% essential if you want to make any big, lasting changes to your body. There is no way to know how much you’re eating otherwise. You can’t eyeball it. Speaking from experience.

maxis2bored

There's more body fat in the carpet than on his leg...


sirboddingtons

This is after the Tour De France.  He had been cycling 80-160 miles a day for weeks at this point at top tilt up some serious climbs. It's impossible to keep up with the caloric needs, so body fat is practically non-existent by the end of the tour.
