It´s just response like every other,no pun intended...If he was right,I would´n say anything,but in this case he wasn´t.I have nothing against him or against anyone else in this thread.I just feel the need to correct misleading statements,that´s all.

This is what makes you sound like total ignorant...You are ripped,so what?are you so ripped that you can see deeper layers of abdominal wall?If that´s the case,congrats to you,you are so ripped,it´s not even funny anymore,because you can´t see any other muscle from my list except for rectus abdominis and obliqus externus.If it´s common in UK for doctors not to know anatomy, it´s pretty sad,because here in Slovakia they wouldn´t finish even first semester without knowing anatomy of skeleton and muscles.So sorry to hear that level of medical schools in England is such subpar(even though I don´t think it´s true).And I know for fact that most doctors here know more about anatomy,physiology and biochemistry than trainers will ever learn.And no,I´m not saying they know how to train,but saying that doctors don´t know anatomy is probably the biggest nonsense in this thread.So stop arguing about things that basicly has nothing to do with this thread.And look for some good book of anatomy if you don´t have one,you could use it before stating anything simmilar to your "ripped" claim.

If they don´t play with the open system a little bit more to make it work flawlessly,than yes.

Pascal is always cool to watch

I don´t want to argue with you mate,so I will only respond to your point 6 and 3-I study medicine,so believe you me,I know wore about muscles and human anatomy and physiology than you and you friends together.Yes,core muscles ale abs and back,that´s it.You know where you problem is?you don´t know what abdominal muscles prolly are,so I will name them just for you(in latin,but I´m sure someone as inteligent and educated as you should be after all those years of studying and training won´t have problem with that)1.m.rectus abdominis 2.m. pyramidalis 3.m.obliqus externus abdominis 4.m.obliqus internus abdominis 5.m.transversus abdominis 6.m transversus abdominis 7.m.quadratus lumborum(all those are abdominal muscles because they surround abdominal cavity)and finally,lumbal part of erector spinae.Is that ok with you? point 3-you know that the guys with highest vertical are mostly weight lifters?(not powerlifters!)and of course if you lift weights close to your 1MR you won´t be able to move it fast enough to gain any dynamic strenght,same thing applies to higher rep range with moderate weight-with exaustion you will lose speed,which is clearly contraproductive in dynamic strenght training.About your more muscle=worse riding theory,again,watch vid of for example pavel borisevich-guy might weight around 150 and is one of the most dynamic riders I´ve seen.Then you have here TRA ar damon,guys who are 60-70pounds heavier than him.watch them to gap and you will find out that damon nor TRA are that dynamic as Pavel,yet they still can go much further/higher.Why?This is where you were clearly wrong,trials riding is not only about speed,it´s also about kinetic energy and these heavier guys don´t have to be that fast to go bigger than him because of this simple fact.Pro riders are stringy because they have to ride extremely difficult sectionf for 2hours and in that case more muscle mass=higher oxygen request,which is clearly disadvantage.Beeing light weight and more dynamic won´t make you go higher/further.case closed.

obliques are abdominal muscles(hence the name musculus obliqus internus/externus ABDOMINIS) and no,everything minus arms and legs is torso,not core.I know what you mean though

Core is 3/4 abs and maybe 1/4 back,so it´s not so clear for most people.But you´re right.

what´s unclear about it???Also,if you know about any biketrials rider(or like you said "cyclists from various disciplines") who did 550 deadlift,let me know.But I know you won´t find one,not in trials and certainly not in other disciplines because for those deads aren´t benefical that much.That guide is pretty much spot on,I studied at sport uni and I train for over 6years,so I think I know thing or two about weight training. Not to mention that I´m interested in the teoretical part of training just as much as in the "real world" experiences.Yes,building muscle might be "pointless"(look at damon or TRA himself and think about it again),but that´s why in his recommendations is rep range 3-5 reps only,which is range for building strenght(and is also used for dynamic strenght too,but with weights around 50% from 1MR),for muscle building purpose is this range totally ineffective(8-12reps is usually what´s used to build mass,12-15 to refine and create more details).Arm training is deffo not necessary for biketrials,because your biceps get stronger from back workouts and triceps from chest workout and shoulder workout too,if you do presses of any kind.Yes,strong core is very important and nothing creates stronger and more stable core that hevy squats,deads,power cleans and overhead shoulder presses.Those exercises build functional core strenght and no kind of abs traning comes even close to then in this area.

Sure,because TRA as one of the best riders in history who is also prolly the strongest rider on earth doesn´t know how to train right...You don´t have to be qualified trainer to know how to train Right on,deads and power cleans are the two best exercises for biketrials.

they weight 45g with bolts that are much likely too short to be used without risk of striping frame threads...so the difference might be more like 30g.Still, 25g is big diff for someone who wants to have his bike as light as possible and it´s actually one of the cheapest ways to save this "much" weight if you consider other high end parts that would save you simmilar amount of weight.I Did not get you were joking BTW

You know what word over means right? http://www.thefreedictionary.com/over

this should be sticky here... http://trarider.webs.com/weightlifting.htm the best advices for riding purpose.

love that frame,too bad it´s going to be too expensive for sure.

You prolly didn´t try it huh?because no way in hell you would be able to turn nipple that is tighten up approprietly with screw driver.

05 are over 300g with clamps and 50g is quite a big difference for a brake.I´m not weight weenie,just stating the facts.

Of course they aren´t,heatsinks come in CNC backings and are 4mm thinner (material)...Compound is the same,get over it.

Surely you can...Maguras are heavy as fook.

This

Can´t find price anywhere...

Check out his FB page,it´s explained there with pics.

More like 3000-3500,don´t forget it´s monty.

Abel and Danni requested those,so it´s not all about monty

They seem to think other way round

read description!Please note: All frames have some minor anodising blemishes around the bashplate mount and gusset on the down tube - the discounted price reflects this.
