Weight gain from XC?
Hi,
At the end of November when I put my bike in the garage for the winter I weighed 93kg. I have been skiing about 8-12 hours per week (50/50 classic-skate) and which is at least 3-4 hours more on average than I did on the bike. I also think my skiing is more intense than the bike riding was (at least during the fall). I haven't changed my diet in any way. My weight is now 103kg. I notice that certain parts of my quads are much larger now, and my triceps too, and I suspect other places too. Fat is hard to judge, but I think it is pretty constant. Is it common for skiing to encourage the development of bulk muscles? I for some reason always assumed it would be slimming like running. I certainly didn't expect to gain 10kg in 3 months! It dosen't bother me, I am just curious about the development. Joseph |
