Is Lance overdoing the upper body work?
Comments

it's just the low body fat count that's making him look that ripped ... when you look at his actual biceps and forearms he's not got alot of mass there ...
i'm wondering where you got the pics ... got a link?
(ps. why are they in black & white ... it makes them a touch homo-erotic does it not ... has Bruce Weber has taken over from Graeme Watson?)0 -

He's looking in decent nick..0 -
I would imagine that as the new season progresses he will lose muscle from his upper body as he trains it less. Thus any mass he has there right now doesn't really matter. What's important is that he is fit and already lean.0

he's doing the rocky balboa thing of being old so just picking up hench muscles instead!0

Robert Millar would have a heart attack seeing a bike rider with an upper body developed like that. I seem to remember Millar saying that muscled arms weighed more than non muscled arms and for this reason he avoided weight training like the plague.
PS Elizabeth Kreutz's name crops up on LA's latest twitter reports. I believe she is second in command for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. So basically Lance gets one of his most senior employees to stand around all day taking vanity photos whilst he trains. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "does a lot of good work for charity" ...aspra nella virtu', dolce nel sacrificio0 -

Thats why Armstrong won 7 tours and Millar none!!0 -
He's DEFINITELY bigger now in the upper body. I think he'll lose most of it though.
(And no, that is not my picture. I have no idea what's going on behind that magazine.)0 -
Ooooh..........a fanboy porn thread! :shock:"Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Look, Armstrong is not gay, he just has a bit of trouble keeping his women happy / keeping his women, and he likes running in public with his shirt off alongside a bare-chested running buddy. Don`t those torsos look nicely waxed?

Is that one from your private collection, aurelio?Le Blaireau (1)0

I think the lighting and the use of high contrast B&W is greatly exaggerating things...0

Armstrong always had a slightly bigger uppper body due probably to his early Triathalon days, the swim etc.0

Errr......

But I thought he lost that upper body mass when he had cancer and that's why his power/weight ratio went up and he could climb so much better?pinarellodude wrote:Armstrong always had a slightly bigger uppper body due probably to his early Triathalon days, the swim etc.0 -

:twisted: troublemaker.
Don't dare mention that a sign of hgh use is protruding abdominals because of increased internal organ growth.0 -
But the experts on the training section keep telling us there is no point in weight training for cycling.
it's a hard life if you don't weaken.0 -
It's one thing to build an upper body to impress the latest bimbo C-list celebrity your trying to bed, another thing to have a power-weight ratio good enough to drop Sastre, Andy Schleck, Contador, Menchov and Evans.0

although Lance was dating Kate Hudson when she was voted the most beautiful woman in America ... at which point she promptly dumped him ... a few weeks later his comeback was on the go ... i guess Lance knows to get everything in order for 2045!0

Bloody hell, you could ask them both later on when their respective gangs of mates are hanging around at opposite ends of the playground swigging diamond white and smoking crafty tabs... Or buy a copy of Hello."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Yes they have gone a bit quite, wonder why. :roll:Tom Butcher wrote:But the experts on the training section keep telling us there is no point in weight training for cycling.ding dang do0 -
Isn't Armstrong only about 5 feet tall anyway? So it's probably not that impressive. "A cyclist has nothing to lose but his chain"
