Anyway I know the risks and I have heard that the hpta finishes developing at 26, so I am aware that me cycling might come in the way of that.
Right now I am 5'8 and 196 lbs
I want to cycle for rugby mainly to recover faster from my workouts and also to gain some strength
I am probably going to cut down to 180 lbs before I cycle so that I am lean.
I have some nagging joint issues in the knees that I would love to have addresses.
What do you guys recommend?
