Rather than set a mile goal or something like that for 2009, I'm going to give pcad a chase in the innane thread department. How, how many different parts of your quads can you differentiate?

You joke, but that's actually kind of fun to know. Actual cool information means this is not an inane thread. Try again.

Contracted or 'un-contracted'...

Contracted

You are too small to have quads yet.

I can differentiate bewtween all of those named in the diagram. I can also see my adductor longus when I cross my legs (or when I make a motion to do so). FYI, its the band of muscle that runs diagonally across your thigh.

I hereby nominate this for the first "Dumb Post of the Day" award in 2009.

He's built like...gasp...a bicycle racer. Money says he's showing more muscle definition than you, fatty.

You mean the sartorius...




I can only see one...

Both contracted and relaxed...

1. Note the smilie that accompanied my post.

2. Read my congratulatory and reverential post concerning umd's 1M ft. accomplishment: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...=497912&page=4

3. Consider that someone could be bigger w/o being fatter; 5-11/175/6-7% body fat for instance.

4. Lighten up - you'll enjoy life more.

Play nice everyone

Right... The adductor longus is the one that runs the other way underneath the top layer of muscles... I got the two confused. Thanks... I guess my high school anatomy is fading...

pics?

Good God, the FAQs were right. One should not venture into BF territory without a thick skin.

I'm too fat for this thread. Someone bump it in a few weeks.

37

Cellulite bumps don't count

Me? 2.

My mate? All of those plus several others that haven't been named yet.
























:O

I can tell my ankles from my calf, is that good?

seriously, I think i can see four. but i'm not looking right now.

If I were him I'd worry about my quads ripping my knees apart. Damn those are effing huge, but I only see 2

That's Sir Quads to you.

God, I hate my parents.

Check out the BBC/Hoy guide to track riding - good stuff:

Hey says that the top riders can hit speeds in excess of 50 mph.

I count three when contracted...not including that muscle just above the knee cap. I'm about the same height/weight as umd, just much much slower.

It doesn't matter how well defined you are. You can only see 3 because the vastus intermedius is covered by the other 3 (Vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and rectus femoris). They do have a mutual tendon that you can see just about the kneecap (patella)
