Does biking completely take away any "large" muscles you have? Is it like the oposite of going to a gym and pumping iron? Just curious what everyone opinion/feedback is and if anyone has any information on this. Thanks
Muscles will be as large and as strong as necessary to deal with the loads imposed on them. I was very muscular from playing soccer for 13-years and after 10-years of cycling, the muscles are smaller, but more toned. Weight remained about the same.
What are you asking? What is your goal? Do you want to stay muscular? Or are you trying to slim down? Or worried about it?
