honestly, if the character limit allowed me to use powerstroke instead, I would have done it. the basic units of power is HP (i'm most familiar with it, and I know the formula very well). the factors of that are torque and rpm. i'm asking if anyone trains their legs strength and torque. while increasing rpm increases power, but I don't know about cruising at a rpm of over 100. The human body operates similar to a very unbalanced diesel engine. if i'm lucky I can hit 100+ rpm, and torque is what makes up for that low rpm (in comparison to a internal combustion engine). think about it 300 watts [MENTION=88036]100[/MENTION]rpm is 21lb/ft , it's incredibly high in comparison to the total output HP or watts.

I was wondering what cyclists tend to train. In order to produce more watts at a set rpm, raw force needs to increase. Everyone has a normal operating range while cycling. everyone recommends about 90-100 rpm. while that is nice and all, if I want to go a bit faster I can either use a higher gear, using more torque or increase my average rpm. after a certain point, there is a redline effect with pedaling, at which point you need a higher gear.
