>>1635650>They also have lots of extra fat usuallyand here we agree, thats need to go before trying to save some grams on a bike
>if you care about weight on a bike you shouldn't be building a giant upper bodyif you race professionally i still agree but some people dont get paid for enjoying an hobby as amateurs and some people enjoy more than one hobby, maybe someone, like me, just enjoy both riding a a lightweight bike that help him up hills and satisfy his autism / practicing bodybuilding to be healthy, look good and again, satisfy his autism.
upper body muscles can be detrimental at some point, but they also help locking you in the right position to put down power on the pedals, if you are climbing you know for sure that your core give up before your legs, finding the right balance of too many/too few upper body muscles is a matter that only paid people need to bother with, for us amateurs, i think all the muscle you can build while staying natty wont be a detriment in the pro/cons equation
