THE DIRTY SECRET OF STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO
IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE, right? The key to going faster is having a higher strength to weight ration. We hear it all the time, until...
... something unexpected happens.
We learn there's more to the story.
This summer, at the Tour de France, Jonas Abrahamsen shocked the world.
It wasn't the first-time snagging the climbing jersey that the sprint jersey.
That happens,
and it's cool.
But, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I learned just the other day that the frame on my new bike...
- is slightly heavier than the most expensive version
- has a lower strength to weight ration
... and is a noticeably stronger and stiffer.
Yes, my new frame is 100 grams heavier and has better power transfer.
Back to Jonas, we went from getting dropped almost not extending his contract to crushing it...
... when he gained 45 pounds.
The point of all this is it is good to be strong and light...
... it's better to be strong.
Does that mean it's donut time?
No,
not even.
It means we keep fueling our bodies with the best foods we can find,
and figure out our optimum weight.
