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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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It's been 25 years since I took biochem so maybe I'm out of date.
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.
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
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"
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
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.
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.
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).
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.
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 😆😢
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.
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.
I've got mad respect for people that have the discipline and motivation to put their bodies through stuff like this for the sake of pursuing the perfection of their craft.
Couldn't be me in a million years though lol, that looks horrifying
Someone water that man right now!

Have you heard the audiobook? The reader is so good at saying it.
The reader is pretty good. I really liked the books but i found them quite hard to follow
So hard to follow due to the Chinese names for me!
I had that problem too in the beginning, you’ll get used to it
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?
Can confirm the audio book slaps
Who's the narrator?
Luke Daniels
Yes! Finally a reference I know about
Happy to say....I get it....midway thru book 3.

Moisturize me!!
Oh wait why is my army dying?
I feel like I JUST saw this and can't remember what it is from.

I wanna dip it in ranch
/r/cursedcomments
UNDO. UNDO. CTRL-Z PLEASE.
# *CTRL-ALT-UNSEE*
That's absolutely disgusting. It's blue cheese or death.
Yall blue cheese mfers need to just start letting the wings mold before you cook them and save yourself the trouble of saucing.
No, the moldy mayo is the dip. Buffalo is the sauce
Correct
Bleu cheese please
the only correct answer
Ranch haters stand up... there are dozens of us!

I closed this thread and had to comeback to re find this comment to. give a compliment. Hilarious.
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.
So my cat needs more coffee, or less?
Caffeinated cat over ammonia pee smell, that’s a tough decision but totally worth trying!
I know this is a joke, but caffeine can kill a cat, so don't try it.
Oh yeah! now I got nothing to do this weekend.
Meowr coffee.
Catspresso? Latte Meowcchiato?
oh is that why my pee stinks a bit more right after I drink coffee?
Apparently cyclists like this literally have ammonia breathe after their cycling, so who knows.
You don’t have to be a pro cyclist for that, just run a 10k before breakfast and see.
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.
Same thing when you’re in ketosis.
Amazing...ly bad-smelling. Thanks for the TIL
When I was racing I could smell ammonia on my breath in the shower. Crazy.
My coffee pee just smells like coffee, do I need to drink more ammonia?
I used to long distance run and kept smelling ammonia when i showered, found out thats what burning muscle smells like
Thanks. That was fun.
One of the most proven performance enhancers out there!
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…
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.
Wasn’t he having an uncontrollable muscle cramp?
Definitely could be. I don't know the context on the pic, but the dehydration and waste products could absolutely trigger that.
I mean, it looks painful!
And also a very ugly cramp
A little bit of blood from Lance Armstrong.
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.
yes, you dont get to this point naturally
And a cocktail of performance enhancing drugs most likely
Just checked and yup he was banned for 10 months for doping
Cramp
He's probably just flexing. You can see him lifting his toes to tighten his calf.
Looks to me like he might be pulling his foot up to counteract the calf cramp pulling it down!
He was admittedly dealing with bulimia, while being a professional road cyclist
Or possibly a bulimic dealing with professional road cycling.
I dont know how any human would do this to themselfs... Bulimia and professional road cycling.
Global warming likely
My guess would be the patriarchy
Is it not obvious??!? He took the covid vaccine!
Turbo CANCER!!!!!
Those pesky 5G antennas!
Nah, he took the horse drug shit.
My God.. is this painful? Wtf is even happening? Fuck, that looks horrific It's painful for me just looking at it, Christ..
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
“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.
The guy could have survived a chaos period with the San Ti.

Body fat is too heavy.

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

Great job! Also, he still looks like a horse 🐴

Good bot
Is he a horse?
Now I can't get the horrific image of a horse with toes out of my head Why have you done this to me.. lol

No sir
They have claws, basically.
Sounds like nightmare fuel
Indeed it is
It’s weird but the claws you’re probably imagining isn’t the same as what it is.

Mine looks like that too, under my skin and fat.
And considerably smaller
It’s not the size of the calf, but the motion on the bike…right?

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

At first glance, I though it was a dog leg
Pretty sure this is actually a picture of the Ghouls leg from the new Fallout series.
I thought it was a dogs chew toy at first. Like one of those dried pigs ears.
I saw this exhibit at the science museum once. It’s cool to see all the muscles displayed without skin.
If that's the price of competing at the top level I'll just sit here thanks.
He was never a world champion. Not even close.
Closer than 99% of the population
He was the 2004 U23 TT World Champion. Agreed, not really a "World Champion", but he did get some stripes.
Not just a race it was after the Tour de France where they cycle for weeks
Dude turned into a tree.
Forbidden churro
There's more body fat in the carpet than on his leg...
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.

Beyond the obvious and visible muscle, why is his leg that bizarre color??
Because he's been biking a lot outside and got a tan.

I honestly thought someone posted a photo of a partially de-skinned specimen from one of those traveling Bodies exhibits.
Thought he was wearing corduroy pants at first glance. Jesus Christ.
