      Mate said he heard this on the radio.

      World class cyclists must have strong/powerful legs, but that's some weight that many advanced gear fueled lifters cant even lift.

      That would be a total of 35 x 20kg plates on the machine....

      I think that's b0llocks.

      I have read that it's a partial. However, it proves the arrogance of our sport to think that a "mere" cyclist couldn't out leg press a 20stone BB.

      One of the BMX lads could squat 245, deep!

      As above 700lbs seems more realistic.

      Yea i mentioned that is he not sure it's lbs. He said it was definitely kg.

      I'm not totally ignorant to this. It's just a hard one to believe. Also with the addition that were led to believe they are totally natural.

      To be fair ... he trains for leg strength/power output. With the resources he has behind him and the time he has to train who are we non-Olympians to criticise?
