hamstring muscles vs quads when you ride? I ask because the other night I was at a friends house who had a free weight set and I sat down to give it a whirl.
I tried leg extensions Free Weight Leg Extensions - TheTrainingStationInc.com© with 90 lbs and could do that until I was bored with it.
When I turned around to do leg curls I could barley do a set! Free Weight Leg Curls - TheTrainingStationInc.com©
Will increasing my ability to do the curls help me with riding or does most power come from your quads while riding vs hamstrings ? I know my hamstrings always feel tight for the first 8 miles or so of every ride regardless of whether I stretch before I ride or not, kinda accepted it and it is MUCH worse when it's 50 degrees or cooler...sux getting older :hate:
