If they do stumble, their coaches get upset, point out that their poor start cost them a good time, and feel obligated to give them some kind of quick lesson-not just how to place their blocks, but how to slide the pedals to their proper locations along the rail. Many sprinters simply look to the athletes next to them, set their blocks the same way, and hope they don’t stumble on the start.

Most research shows that muscle growth is maximized at 0.8 grams of protein per pound bodyweight per day while bulking, with some research pointing to a slightly higher intake of 1 gram/pound/day ( study). As a result, it’s more important to eat enough protein than it is to eat enough carbohydrates. Our muscles are constructed out of protein, so if we aren’t eating enough protein then we can’t build muscle. The Importance of Eating Enough Proteinīefore we talk about whether ectomorphs should eat more carbs, let’s quickly cover protein. Aiming to gain a pound per week is perfect for that. If you want to build muscle faster, feel free to start by adding more calories into your diet. If you want to bulk more leanly, start by adding fewer calories into your diet and try to maintain a slower rate of weight gain-around 0.5 pounds per week is great. But if you’re worried about gaining fat, try removing 200–300 daily calories from your diet to slow it down.

Redshift suggests that riders up to 80kg should only use the main spring and those from 90kg to 110kg must install the inner spring as well. Its larger main spring is pre-installed and a smaller diameter inner spring is supplied – to be fitted within it if a stiffer spring rate is necessary. The ShockStop from Redshift is a bike stem that adds 20 mm of travel to the handlebars with the intention to improve the comfort and quality of the ride on rougher terrain.
