Did any of you guys actually read what the guy wrote?
The kid would, in order to get an effective workout on the muscles he uses for cycling, have to squat weights far above what he is prepared for in that the supporting muscles are not as developed as the primary cycling ones.
So, he could lift safely for months and get no benefit in cycling while slowly building up his squats, or he can do leg presses safely now for gain and build up the squat some other year.
