I was just reading an advertisement for BSC bib shorts in Ride magazine. They claim a "40% increase in anaerobic threshold" .
"10% increase in .VO2 max".
"5.2% increase in explosive muscular power"
"2.1% increase in work capacity"
"14% reduction in blood lactic concentrations"
Thanks to BSC it looks like I can become a winner just by changing my shorts.

Was this ad in the edition with Hushovd/Contador on the cover? I saw that advert too. I figure if I train hard, and can compete and win C grade races, I just need to put on these shorts and I stand a chance of winning A grade races, right?

Yes thats the one. Those are about the most outlandish claims I have ever heard for a cycling product.Unless somebody knows different.
