I plan on cycling 10-15 miles for two weeks with ankle weights to strengthen my quads .What ankle weights would you guys suggest or is it just a waste of time?
Waste of time. The ankle weights actually make it easier to cycle, as they help push the pedals.

Try it out. Use the ankle weights as fractional weight for bench press if it doesn't work.

Not op
But do they help you lose weight?
>>36543565
Again, counterproductive. The ankle weights actually ADD weight to your body.

You don't need to get off the sofa to loose weight. Eat less.

Don't do this op, you'll fuck up your legs due to unnatural mass distribution.

Boxing coach said that just about everybody she's seen use ankle weights has blown out their knees doing so.

If you use them while walking and walk a considerable distance it can help. Won't cure a sedentary lifestyle or shit diet though

Road racer on semi-pro team here,
What the hell are you even thinking? Just do hill repeats at a low cadence (70rpm), your quads will get plenty of work.
While running? Are them gonna helped or not?

Retarded. Just ride faster. Push a faster gear.
