I need a lot of things. Weightlifting won't get them for me either.

And once again, you don't need to apply more force, you need to apply the force you already can, longer.

I do need to apply more force, I want to be faster. I need to train my brain to recruit more motor units or I'm going to stall.

You can't reason with a troll

It's just entertainment.

Where all trolls... I got my opinions, you got yours. You don't agree with mine, your a troll.

Your not right (or wrong).

It is entertaining

Yep

Under the bridge, of course.

Anyway, the explanations are back around the first ten pages or so of this thread should you care to educate yourself.

Wouldn't I be building endurance in zones 3,4,5 & 6???...

You haven't come back with anything?.

Did I win?

You've been arguing for 18 pages and you don't know? Why don't you tell us.

I was just wandering?. I'm old skool & don't train with power meters, aren't my thing.

Reading, spelling, and grammar aren't your things either.

Intensity and the physiological responses and adaptations don't depend on how you measure them or if you measure them at all. You ride a certain way, the body changes*. Either you know how the changes correlate with training or you don't.

*Some have said as precisely as a Swiss watch.

OK. It was just that I was told to train in zone 2 to build endurance.

Athletes "used to take" EPO to increase hematocrit. That's what it does. It increases the number of red blood cells in the blood. The reason EPO usage was once hard to detect is because it is a natural chemical secreted by the kidneys. The stimulus to secrete EPO is oxygen debt or hypoxia. Which you can supply by sleeping in a low-oxygen environment like a hypoxic tent or high altitude, or doing anaerobic intervals. Here's a link:

As you can read, it's a lot more complicated than just riding hard.

The relationship between intervals and hematocrit is complicated by the fact that intervals also increase blood volume, which decreases hematocrit, which is the concentration, not the number of red blood cells. Dehydration increases hematocrit. Be that as it may, it could be that it's the number of red blood cells, not the hematocrit, which is the best goal. And be that as it may, some pro teams have their riders sauna after a training session to increase hematocrit through dehydration. Which I don't get at all.

Maybe not, but some sure can do a helluva job feeding 'em!

Trying to merge your trolling threads?

Trolling is misapplication of information and logic to present an incorrect or incomplete picture, for the purpose of "getting a rise" out of people. You think you are succeeding because you are getting a lot of responses, but we all just think you are stupid.

Your reading comprehension and logic skills have been proven to be severely lacking.

Where just lacking in having similar opinions.

If know body plays to your tune, there probably a troll too.

You are lacking in being able to read something and understand what is said.

You are also lacking in being able to write a coherent sentence. Can I get a translator?

Please enlighten us with one citation from a peer reviewed journal confirming that EPO does not enhance performance.

All Californians are beautiful. All women are beautiful. Therefore all women are Californian.

All elephants are big. Some boys are big. Therefore some boys are elephants.

All fools act stupid. You acted stupid. Therefore you are a fool.
