Envy

A few posts ago there was mention about how everyone seems to be getting faster. Here is one such example.

This is Kris, or more aptly named "Popeye". He is a chef by trade and a bike assassin by hobby. Yes his speed on the bike is increasing to a concerning level, but he has a secret.


*O.K. before we go any further, let me state I know how creepy the below video and its content might seem, but it is all in the name of documentation.

Popeye's secret is concealed in the areas located between his knee caps and his ankles. He possesses calves like no other. These are pure watt machines that when engaged inflict worldly doom. In fact during a ride on April 15th 2010, Popeye pointed his road machine into a bloc headwind, tapped out a vicious tempo, and accidentally triggered the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. Cataclysmic power.


There it is. Believe me, in person they are terrifying, but I would love to own a set. So in the words of some German ancestor of his "The Popeye takes in the schnetzeil and beer, and outputs the death and the pain - this is his training secret." Well that, and his huge lower extremities.
