nothing to do with climbing but you should both raise your saddles

@PATAR144 yeah i agree, my comment is from over a year ago haha

[PATAR144]

@MrSuperbizzle dude, he's fine... that's the new style

[ClockCutter]

@MrSuperbizzle Bah. Stretching out the legs in a pedal stroke just makes the hamstrings so much more ineffective. No, Chris has a fairly classical European pedal stroke. Who are you to challenge that kind of stroke??

@WhiteGravey Carmichael's not a youtube lardass, he coached LA to most of his wins.

@JanLGorski very informative comment there.... :)

Sorry, but above the lactate threshold, breathing tends to be deep and fast, not shallow, because of metabolic acidosis being compensated this way. Totally agree with training below the threshold, this actually rises it. On contratry, training above makes you stronger, improves pH buffering capacity, but lowers the threshold. Makes you more sprinter than climber.

Livestrong!

@WhiteGravey I agree!
