It gots me thinkin' that Richmond Cyclery may be ready to knock off SBR as Melbourne's sexiest bike shop, but SBR still has the sweet smell of coffee from their la-di-da coffee machine
The last time I walked in there I was ushered out like a smelly dog

Yeppo...tonight it's legs, so squat, leg press, SLDL, etc etc....
My leg press is approaching PB from the track days....1000lbs inc. sled! Still got a fair way to go to match Florian Rousseau's 305kg squat for 3 reps, though....

I used to be one of those skinny (77kg) cycling gym instructors that the big "Southern Europeans" would poke fun at.
No matter how much "science" I threw at them, they would say: "yeah, but you can only bench 180".

I don't do leg extensions at all. Too much shear force.
