This is true. However I find most guys at the gym rarely do squats, lunges or leg presses. They tend to focus on their glamour muscles and foolishly ignore the rest of their body.


This is also true. But I do squats, cleans and deadlifts [1], and most cyclist have much more defined, and often bigger, legs than me.

[1] Well, I used to. These days I don't do much heavy strength training, and mostly do conditioning as a part of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practice.


When a cyclist trains he is doing 2+ hours of constant hard leg exercise. It's not a surprise that he has bigger leg muscles.


Yes, I know. I provided another example to support ellyagg's point.
