Hey Roberto, I will be first in to let you know that Alberto found a nice way to get rid of those extra pounds (allegedly;))[/QUOTE]

i do not think that clen will make me that thin and still preserve endurance and power. as it is right now my body fat % is 6-8 and without trying that hard during the season i can go as low as 65kg and 4-5% body with out too much struggle when i was track & field i was 66kg and went as low as 3.5%.

6' 9"

255# down to 227 in a desperate attempt to go up hill a tiny bit faster.

Having to produce 100+ watts to climb the same speed as a super model is a losing battle.

When I was young and hard, just shy of 6' and 162-168 lbs. That's about a half-inch shorter than Eddy and the same weight. Now I'd be happy to get under 180.

Bike fit was a problem because nobody in my club was built like that. Then I just modeled my setup after Eddy's. Not that I wasn't too far off already, but now I could stop trying to raise the handlebar level with the saddle.
