Greipel may have lost the battle, but he seems to be winning the “war”. He has 4 Tour de France stage wins (primarily “sprint” stages) while Forstemann doesn’t seem to have any Olympic medals or world championships yet. I think he may need to focus on the bike workouts a little more than the squats!
However, from squats I have problems with certain pants, especially the ones cut skinny. I am stuck wearing more baggy styles so I fit in them properly. I used to have the same issue with shirts made for the typical american man, buying to fit my neck size (16.5″) made them look like big tents with a 31″ waist. Now you can buy more fitted shirts, but even some of those are too baggy. Soooo, I understand the problems.
As a woman who races, I agree. In between the start and finish line the competition is fierce but once the race is over and the pizza comes out, people stand around and enjoy the day and each other’s company. Sometimes, there’s even a moon bounce.
