I have no direct knowledge on this. I think 2 days off from pullups is enough to do them again if their aren't any injuries. personally, I took a year off pullups cuz my elbows were hurting

I have no direct knowledge on this. there are plenty more ppl on this forum who know way more than I do. personally, I think not doing whole body weight training, would contribute more to whole body muscle mass loss, than blaming it on cycling. just look at pro cyclers with skinny arms & big quads, right?
