jmikami,

You are a strong guy. I think you can squat well over 300lbs.

What if I said that I'd give you $100 for every rep you could properly squat 275lbs (as a nice round number)?

How would you approach that task?

Would you squat light weights (or just body weight) for 60-90 minutes right before squatting the 275lbs?

Or would you do a short series of progressive warmup sets, rest for a few minutes, then do the 275lbs for the cash?

I am enduro roadie and can go all day I am buying us all DF3's with Carleton's money.

It has been over 20 years since I have touched a weight, so I have no clue. I think weights to sprinting is about as far away as you can get however so not on point.

Not only that, but if I am racing Quinn or the shark at nats this year it will be at Marymoor ... which I consider more of a crit course than a real track. So my road speed might not be useless that week. I need to contact Mansker and see if he can get me an 11 cog so I can forget this whole leg speed thing and just ride a sub 11 and say catch me if you can.
