Squats - DO not remember

Basically I am not all that strong any where on my body. If you knew where I came I have improved greatly... just think 5 years of no major physical activity. As I work on the bike those values are going higher and higher... that is why I need a winter of weight training under me...

As for peak watts... no idea but I would like to find out.
Dude, it doesn't matter how strong your legs are really.
I'm 6'2'', 166lbs right now
I can leg press 450 max right now
I can extend 140+ max right now
I can leg curl around 100 max right now

You are capable of much more than me and you weigh much more than me. It is definatly not purely strength, it's conditioning and LT and all those other things you've been training. Keep going at those and you'll get even better at them. You're doing awesome.
