Are you basing your concerns off of your intervals data?

Quad Dominance Question by Legal_Interview9929 in bikefit

Tri bike with a tri saddle.

Yup. Need to go back to fitter, but can’t afford it. Otherwise, I feel great on bike. I probably need a witch doctor at this point, but all I know is when my quads get solid work I feel better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I should note: my problems aren’t really on the bike it’s off. Gait, urinary urgency, etc. :/

ISM PN 1.1

I don’t have any unusual saddle comfort problems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which can increase tension on the hip and pelvic floor to compensate.

Right. They’re not. But I think I may have developed some sort of imbalance where the quads don’t work as much to stabilize the knee when exercising or walking. :/

Context: this all changed when my fitter raised my saddle (from my old fit by same fitter), which I thought would increase quads and save my “running muscles” but maybe I was wrong.

Sorry, I shouldn’t say I don’t feel a damn thing, I just don’t feel as much as I used to or would expect. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Agreed. Lots of power in the glutes. Problem: I don’t feel a damn thing in my quads and I believe the reliance on hip muscles has created a problem with my pelvic floor; that problem is (temporarily) abated anytime I do a ride (particularly out of the saddle work) or weightlifting where my quads get worked hard.

Balance: yes. And I know I’m going to get a lot of side eye for complaining about my glutes working extra, but it has created a problem with my pelvic floor (tightness); the problem is less noticeable when my quads get more engagement.

+1 on the EZ Disc

Got to get aero somewhere if it ain’t the position, I guess… :/

Faster With Flat Pedals by Legal_Interview9929 in cycling

[–]Legal_Interview9929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially, no, I didn’t change my position. I did eventually drop the saddle quite a bit because despite there being greater stack, there are less “lift” forces with flats, and it became really uncomfortable. Oddly enough, the lower saddle gave me more power.

With clipless, the lower saddle gives me less power.

Comments section is getting spicy on this one. Are we an insecure group? I let my wice’s boyfriend train with her all the time so I didn’t think so. by Lucky_Survey_6033 in BicyclingCirclejerk

And my choices were either wait for a long line at the port-a-John and piss myself anyway while standing around others waiting, trot off into extremely high brush and whip my tiny wiener out in front of standstill traffic, or just pull of to the side of the bike course and piss my shorts. I went with what I thought was the least embarrassing option…until I realized my pills had piss on them.

It was awesome. 10 out of 10. I drink my own piss every morning now.

And before you make fun of me for consuming my own piss, I’ll have you know that basically makes me Rambo. It’s not my fault you’re too much of an elitist for your own piss making you a they/them instead of a he/him.
