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?
Pullups have nothing to do with cycling ability. I haven't done them since I was a teenager. Pushups however do help, but being able to do 20 seems to be enough.
The problem gets to be that sarcopenia prevents you from cycling to your potential. I think weight training and protein fix that issue.
