Fixed gear bike to get giant quads?

I want to get gigantic quads and booty. I know the guy in pic related is not natural but I still want those proportions.

I've thinking about getting a cheap fixed gear bike for commuting and a racing bike (like a CAAD12) for club racing and long distances. Of course, I will still hit the gym.

Thoughts? Tips? Bike recommandation?

no. you got it backwards. they go hard on leg day so they can shred at the velodrome. get giant quads FOR fixed-gear bike, not FROM.

But yes, a fixie will promote rapid growth but its not the best way. You need a geared bike so you can climb them hills all day and erry day..

Yeah, this. Most serious competitive cyclists do training in the weight room during the off-season to build up their prime movers. You really can't get like that just from riding.

Your muscles are actually a mix of "white" and "red" muscle fiber. If you want to be a bulky sprinter then do rapid sprints up a hill to bulk up on the "white" fiber and then ride back down the hill and do it again. If you don't have hills, race cars across town or something. Most towns have a speed limit of 25mph and I can usually outpace cars for at least a few blocks.

In seattle

In chicago my wind resistant sprints could beat cars anywhere. In seattle im either biking so fast downhill it takes a suicidal car to beat me or its up a 45 degree hill and not even worth it to compete

I miss chitown. Drivers less bullshit out here tho

Actually after 2 year of fixed gear riding I noticed good leg growth. After all I don't shift on climbs.

riding fixed does give you some mean quads after a year or two though.

you get big muscles from lifting weights at low reps, not from cardio stuff at high reps.
abandon the bike for a year and lift weights instead

no long-distance runner ever got huge muscles from running marathons. cardio stuff shrinks muscle mass

They don't get huge muscles because they don't eat enough for those muscles to grow. The muscles don't care how you activate them. Obviously some ways allow for faster muscle growth than others.

Doing 5x5 squats with full ROM with rest between sets vs an hour bike ride at 100 rpm. Do you think that's the same and will yield similar results?
>they don't eat enough for those muscles to grow
You're also implying that athletes don't eat enough to recover properly?

To get quads like that you deadlift, squat, and do stationary bike intervals until you puke into the bucket and fall onto the nearby plastic mat. Riding some meme machine - no.
