Derek, that was awesome. Inspiring. I love what Jonathan said about drowning some demons. We could all learn from that because we’ve all got demons to drown in one way or another. Look forward to the next Everest adventure.

So what`s going on at the moment?

Great video Derek, may I ask how tall are you? Thanks

Rice crispy treats

Man, you make more sense than a lot of social media trainers I've watched. Love the idea of cutting out the damn noise.

I started cycling last year and I weigh 123 lbs I can produce a good amount of power to sprint against the good sprinters in my local races as a category 3 racer and I even won a lot of races on a field sprint so should I take a creatine? Please lemme know

Exercise #4 is great for your Multifidus Muscle. I have added this for stability for running trails. I bet this will help cyclists!

how many reps/sets?

This video was absolutely awesome

Thanks for doing this video. It really motivated me to make an appointment for a DEXA. Thanks bro!

I incorporated strength training into my cycling but I did it a different way. Basically increase CTL 3 points per week, increase KJ/week 3% per week, and hit the gym every day. I've seen good results. I'm monitoring overtraining.

Sooooo you have yet to do another DEXA get in there!

I have some experience with creatin. Start training and taking creatin 2 months after I started went on holiday for 10 day and stopped taking creatin I dropped 3kg while I was eating like a pig on vacation :D But I am 90kg. Smaller guy may be will drop 2 or 1 kg.

Great video! But.. how do you track your calories going out by cycling? Strava and Zwift are giving me incredibly high number compared to my smartwatch.

I've used creatine for cycling for years now, I see no downside to it

👍🏻

So the guy at the store said instead of taking it during the loading phase just take the normal amount and allow it to take effect over a month. Any thoughts on this?

For sodium I carry a small miniature packet of Himalayan Salt. I'll have enough for a whole day if need be. Very cheap alternative. Any drawbacks in this setup?

This is absolutely insane! What a ride! Best congratulations for your achievement! I did my first everesting last week on Alpe du Zwift, hard as hell but the satisfaction at the end is unbelievable!

thats very basic knowledge from my experience, but I liked the part about the noise and drifting from your goal because of what the others say. That was a good clue for me.

Thanks, will try in the evening:)

Love seeing this Derek, beast!

Nice chariot and HBD, Derek! Good to have you back. Dios es bueno.

Glad to see your recovery is going well! Can't imagine what you've been through.. wow! Nice frame paint on your Tarmac. AirTrix has some history and still doing good work! I met him during my time on Team Zero Gravity in '97.. he was painting my teammate's helmets for Eric and Ben. I was on Mike Taylor Designs helmets then. Glad you are on the mend and looking good!

A title is cropped in history preview on my smartphone and it is like “custom pain” :)

why two diferent porwer meters on the bike?

I like, that U.S. Americans are so difficult to impress. 01:59

Welcome back! Great to see you back online.

BEAUTIFUL

Yesterday I thought about you. Now I know why you were absent. I broke my my hip and my collarbone 6 weeks ago and Iam back now on my bike again. Best wishes from Germany and what a beautiful bike. I"ll get mine this year.

165mm Team here! Dont do it! you wont come back to 170mm it's just that good 🤣

Great to see you back on the bike! Happy Birthday & Happy Father's Day!

that colorway is so not in your face yet so tasteful.

Wow, really love all of the little pieces that represent your story. Pretty cool of Specialize to do that.

Welcome back, looking forward to your content. Bike looks great, makes me think of getting one but then there is the price

Welcome back. It's good to see you returning.

So good to see you back on the bike.

I was strength training for like 6 years and now started gravel cycling as well. I can feel a lot of benefis from having strong body on my bike especially during riding uphill and strong legs allow me to sprint fast but the factor that is limiting me right now is connected with cardiovascular health because i was not doing cardio at all in the past. Now after incorporating cardio (bike) like 2-3 months ago i feel like im less tired in general and that im able to regenerate faster between sets in the gym.

You are a great teacher. Liked and subbed immediately.

great content! do you have an thoughts on kettlebell for cardio or vo2 max? i relaise a lot of protocols are from non-cyclists but then thats me when i am time crunched.

Gym and cycling same day or split ?

over half way through and your heart rate is down in the 60's @ a rest stop?! you're a freaking machine dude.

DEXA is good but it’s not infallible. Check out Greg Doucette who has done a ton of stuff on this scan.

Do you offer coaching & training?

I've noticed about 3kg of weight gain every time I take it. Creatine makes me stronger in the gym and slower on the bike. Maybe its a good base phase supplement?

To the point 😂😂😂

Good advice, but this dudes sweaty pits were a bit of a turn off. 😂😂😂

Ridiculous question. If there is water retention, would it be a worthwhile supplement before a hot event? If you hold even 5 pounds of water from it, that's a substantial amount of fluid to get you through something when you're sweating heavily.
