Lance weight watch

Yes, but why do they gain so much weight? An important question,
because there are multiple reasons for why the gain weight, here are
some of the most probable:

1. Decreased activity level - I doubt Lance will suffer from this.
2. Increased (actually maintained) food consumtion from competitive
days.
3. Repeated hypercotisolism can leave the athlete predisposed to weight
gain as well as at increased risk for a host of metabolic and
cardiovascular problems.
4. The theory that great endurance athletes, and I would contend Grand
Tour riders, have a propensity to gain weight, or in the case of
racing, maintain body weight. This is ability to regulate energy
balance and weight would be of great benefit to anyone competing day
after day, but not to someone who stops exercising. Call it a throw
back to our primitive years; or for you intelligent design people,
God's will.

Being used to eating so miuch more, having a stretched out stomach to
allow for the extra food needed, new lack of activity, contrast of
being slightly overweight with having been significantly
underweight(by average standards).

They look fat as hell because you're only used to seeing them skinny.
It happens in all sports where weight is an issue. Have you seen any
retired boxers?

With a decreasing metabolism, lack of exercise and continuing to eat
to the point of "feeling full"(which is more for them) you are going
to see weight gain.

dumbass,

not every retired racer becomes a fattie. lance isn't likely to become
one since he's hollywood. a sure fire way to become a fattie is to
become a coach or manager.

Dumberass

Who said "Lance"? It was stated that "they" become fat when they
retire. The collective "they". There will always be examples of which
do not fit "they" but that doesn't change the fact that many do appear
fat in the years after retirement, compared to their racing days.

Right. Roger De Vlaeminck for example. But of course, he had good
incentives in girlfriends like

dumbass,

did I reply to that main post? Or did I reply to exel and his comment
about "Yes, but why do they gain so much weight?"

They. As in the collective group of retired cyclists.

I too doubt Armstrong will be a fattie. With all that 24 Hour Fitness
dollars coming in he's somewhat obligated to look the part. But that
wasn't the discussion I was having with exel.

Thanks

dumbass,

as interesting as your theories about "stretched out stomachs" is,
whether someone becomes a fattie has more to do with lifestyle than
anything else. riders that have busy jobs like managing a protour team
tend to become fatties.

Yes, but he only started on ePhedra after he retired.

"busy jobs" tend to make you fat?

Ok, thanks.

Not familiar with that term. Does it relate to the weight loss brought about by
sustained hard exercise, like catabolic metabolism? To read it, "Repeated
hypercotisolism" sounds like aerobic/anaerobic sex and if so, I'm in trouble.

"hypercortisolism"

I saw a photo of Richard Virenque, since he retired- he's definitely
gained weight. His face has filled out. But he was such an incredibly
skinny guy, he basically looks like a normal human being.
