Blah!... that right there is a climbers body!!
I started HS at 210 graduated at 6' 225 - was very lean from wrestling/football. But cycling was always my passion. I pounded around between 205/230 in the years after - cycling and powerlifting. Got into road riding because I kept breaking my mountain bikes.
I just cracked under 195 for the first time since middle school. Weighed in at 193 this AM - just finished a two week training block and was eating more food and carbs to fuel my efforts - and actually lost weight. Less volume, more intensity... interesting result.
