Well calorie intake I am aware of the negatives of going too low and causing a “starvation metabolism” so i am careful in that regard. And I have a good diet in regards to protein and carb intake while staying low-dat.

With MTB-ing I get a pretty good leg workout strength and muscle-wise. It’s different from road biking in the sense that there is a lot of weight bearing and heavy load put on your legs when you are really cranking on the pedals. My leg muscles are solid, and very well defined from this.

I don’t have very high upper body strength, I will admit that. My upper body sees VERY little action, and I know my core has a lot of underdeveloped muscles. So I’m going to try to work on those areas in conjunction with my current routine and see what happens from there perhaps?
