Does the lawn adapter come included or is that extra?
Just wanted to make sure that everyone has noticed the photo of the āvacuumizerā thatās currently featured in Sebastianās Forum profile image! Amazing!

Everything about this is so on point.
I donāt do a whole lot of lifting. Usually one session a week where I do 4 to 5 sets of slow eccentric barbell squats with a medium weight (135 to 155 lbs - Iām about 182 lbs). I take a couple minutes of rest between sets.
I would have never thought that this could increase my VLAmax, since I donāt do explosive or rapid movements.
How would the increase in VLAmax manifest itself in my riding? Iām typically a time trialist type rider (I usually do not respond well to highly stochastic riding, and generally prefer sustained, linear efforts.
I havenāt tested VLAmax per se, but while I have good torque, a good ājumpā and good 5sec power (in the 1300-1400 range), my sustained efforts in the 20sec to 2 minutes range are pretty subpar for a rider my size.
I would have thought an increase in VLAmax would be detrimental to my endurance performance. How can I tell if this has crept up in my physiological profile?
This paper may helpā¦
āResistance training increases glycolysis rate regardless of volume load.ā
The only issue I have with this study is that itās for strength trained athletes, not endurance trained athletes. Itās my understanding that by doing primarily endurance exercise, we canāt get the same adaptations strength only athletes get with lifting (e.g. hypertrophy).
Iād be curious to see the effect on endurance athletes. Iād also be curious how timing would affect things (doing it immediately after an endurance workout, 8hr later, before an endurance workout,. Without carbs before / during)
