Alex also weighs in on it in a more serious manner here (also at RW but formerly sweat science)
Now for some cringe worthy stuff you find on the internet. Sure, I've certainly f'd up and used a w/w (wrong word as my teachers used to write) now and again and I try to make sure I at least get the heading words right. And I'm not monetizing this shit or trying to make it look professional (can you tell) so for me it is just pride when I screw up, (notice i said when, not if - because god damn i do screw up plenty).
Check this out. The title got me because I've been watching a pile of Kung Fu on vacation. Bruce Lee's Fists of Fury was good. So good. Not a fan of the ending though, mostly because I was hoping the firing squad would take out the consulate standing behind Lee when they shot.
Here's just a small part (in case it gets edited, but it has been commented on already w/o change):
Really.
Training harder with poor position is a waist of time
You can work on training your body to become more efficient through drills and experience. If for example your saddle is too high you will not see the improvements you would see if you first had a professional bicycle fit and then worked on the drills. You will certainly see improvements but you are improving at a position that is bio-mechanically inefficient.
Don’t wast your effort with a poor position
A professional bicycle fit is the first step in becoming more efficient. Greater efficiency means that you use your power more effectively and in have a better overall cycling experience. Think of Kung Fu master Bruce Lee with his one inch punch. (encase you are wondering here is a link) the next time you go out for a ride and ask yourself if you are in an efficient position and using as little energy as possible to ride your bike.
Waist? and then Wast?
Not to mention the encase without a link.
sort of funny in a "are you serious?" kind of way.
Now Cake. You can eat your cake and lose weight too? Some grumpy older dude than me likes to remind me that it is mostly bike racers reading this crap i'm trying to write and the point being y'all ain't the problem as far as being at a healthy weight. So it is silly but worth dumping into this post:

I would like to highlight the fact that they added cake in addition to a normal low sugar/sensible breakfast. At the END of it. You satisfy the physiological cravings with the protein and the other signalling stuff with the cake.
But cake is different. Cake has eggs (or suitable vegan substitute) and fat. It isn't a big glass of orange juice, or a bowl of frosted flakes covered in skim milk.
You are also attenuating the absorption eating it after a "sensible guilt-free" breakfast.
Big day tomorrow.
Lots of pedaling. Lots of calories burned. I'm not going to follow the NYTimes advice and not eat because I'm doing something more than an hour of exercise. I'm going to eat. And pedal my ass off.
All.
Day.
(and it makes me happy thinking about it)
