That is tooo much for you Vincent. If you get a bike with huge gears you can beat anybody. (almost) Couse bigger gears you need to use more muscle power, tiny gears you get tired couse you need to spin faster... Rematch with Huge gear bikes I guarantee you beat those kids. :D
You would be surprised, track sprinters are pretty decent in the gym all things considered. Obviously they don't be moving the kind of weight a bodybuilder probably lifts but still quite powerful. To give you an idea, I was very weak when it came to the gym portion of training (compared to everyone else) and my max for squat was 365lbs, 450lbs for deadlift and 225lbs for bench.
@@FlyingPastilla Chris Hoy is not exactly an emaciated lightweight, but yeah, not quite as bulky on the upper body as Obi. With the proper training/coaching, he could do quite well in match sprints, flying 500s, and maybe even the kilo. Any event shorter than a pursuit, where his upper body mass/bulk will be an absolute impediment due to the 'aero' penalty, should be in Obi's 'wheelhouse', due to the inherent strength of his workouts, despite being not 'cycling specific'. ;)
Always interesting with the different body types and muscle build - the mix of endurance to condition to strength. Just as an example, when you see the World's Strongest Man, they never generally look like a conditioned bodybuilder, if you get me. We are all different, important bit is to enjoy cycling.....
I'm a bodybuilder and cyclist at the same time, ive been cycling since im 10 and i just started bodybuilding 3 years ago. I can keep up with everyone in up hill and when it's flat road i ended up leaving them away hahaha that's why my friends always pick me when there's a sprinting match
I'm also a large cyclist and when i see smaller, lighter guys zip past i get so jealous. On the plus side, my sprinting speed is much better than them... but I cannot keep it up.
Gravity is my friend in one direction too and it’s isn’t up. I just focus on what I’m good at. Riding scrawny climbers off my back wheel on the flat and downhills.
I'm also large (113kg /230lbs - but dropping) I'm losing on the climbs. Always. But when weight is finally on speed, it keeps rolling and takes just little effort to hold the pace. Beeing larger means more rolling mass but just a little loss in aero. It's a positive outcome. (You're still slower than a lean rider over the long run^^)
Muscle memory, bit of practice Obi in sprint will challenge top spot easy. Longer distance of course would be very different. Looks like a load of fun !
Cycling is very intense for heart-lung and certain leg muscles. Aside from that, any other muscle bulk or fat is a liability. You basically wanna be all leg, heart, lungs & tiny everything else.
*peering on 'influencers': "I mean, I look good, right?" MOTO OF MY LIFE! In other news, I wish there was a velodrome near me. I would happily pay whatever to learn to ride a fixed gear over a couple weeks.
Track cyclists can probably bench 10-15 times that weight. Track cycling is mostly about strenght, opposed to road cycling where is all about endurance, and thus the different body types seen on each discipline.
I'm guessing huge, what 20 stone ish mashing down on pedals is gonna produce watts. The sheer torque would be massive. What a hero though, the frame of that bike looked ridiculous under his mass
That looked lie fun, love to see you do a gym workout with Obi. For the taster session "ride in a straight line and look around you", well that's me out for a start :)
By the way in the future, try an Olympic weightlifter! They have tremendous power to weight ratio on their body (but typically poorer cardio) whereas a bodybuilder optimises for physique but not necessarily pure strength/power. Would love to see this!
Been both a bodybuilder and a class 3 cyclist, the upper body and lack of aerobic and dragging the weight, kills bodybuilding. Still 12 stones at 57 in the US . still whomping at physical job and on the bike, downhill MTB for certain.
Is that the first time Obi has ridden with clipless pedals?? Im pretty impressed though he probably didnt actually do a whole lot of clipping in and out for that matter.
If you do a multi disciplinary test with people of all disciplines including a crossfiter. Cyclist will be first in cycling, runner will be first in running, swimmer…. Weight lifter… but on all disciplines, the crossfiter will most likely come in second place and overall point will make him the winner.
I'm also a pretty muscular guy and i wonder what cycling jersey brands would fit me. Most cycling jerseys are tight on my arms and chest, if i choose a larger size the fabric flaps around on my torso. Any suggestions?
Great video i think it would be good too introduce the people you feature in your vids like jess and Tobias who are they and do they have there own channels
The scariest first ride I ever had was the first time around a 45 degree banked velodrome. The most fun I ever had on a bike was on the same 45 degree banked velodrome. Racing on a velodrome is addictive. You have been warned people!
How about a flying ¼ instead of a full lap, or maybe even a standing start (heaven help those skinny steel tubes! 😆), see if Obi can put that muscle to good use over a shorter burst?
This was so much fun.. now i want my own and a rematch 🤩
Ha, that's funny. I'm a competitive bodybuilder (205 on stage) also and do cardio on my 11 lbs bike. I wonder if people think I look funny on it.
Thanks for this super fun video. @obi which glasses did you wear? They looked ace.

yo i’m so stoked to get to know you. you showed such great personality here
@MAXPAINE00 BALTIMORE that's so dumb
As a body builder and cyclist I want to see these guys in the Gym. Obi seems like a good dude. Would lift or ride with him any day!
They would need it, same with endurance runners (that are not focusing on winning competitions). As man to look like a twig is not appealing.

@@xxan84 maybe its not about appearances for them?
@@donaldduck3731 I am sure morbidly obese people have a similar idea... That said its also about having strenght.
@Elonif Aside for those that develop hearth issues.
More so this was about the mentality of "I don't care how I look" as long as I get what I want.
Obi needs to get into track sprinting he's like the right build for one!
A bit oversized on the upper body but if he manages to put this power into the pedals he could actually do good

Looking forward to see Francis doing CrossFit 😏😏😁
As a fixed rider, found this super interesting

Strong men are a different breed all together, bloody vikings 😂
I love watching Obi as guest on other people's channel.

Wow its great dude.. how was you set your split routine?
@@fendipakeen7295 Yes, that's a strange thing. What is your workout routine?
Wow. Cool story bro...
You should look into match sprints or keirin, they seem right up your alley.
I'm also a large cyclist and when i see smaller, lighter guys zip past i get so jealous. On the plus side, my sprinting speed is much better than them... but I cannot keep it up.
everything fun untill uphill comes
Climbers are mostly slim so don't get jealous
@@beans392 i didnt say big guy cant climb 😏
@@beans392 they are more 'aero' :P
Gravity is my friend in one direction too and it’s isn’t up. I just focus on what I’m good at. Riding scrawny climbers off my back wheel on the flat and downhills.
Obi in a 3X just added an entire new market group for Attacus
Obi is a seriously big guy. What guns!
Obi is funny and scary! Tobias is scary FAST! Daisy is a diamond. You Francis are a combination of all 4! Great video , thank you.

I’m 230 too just picked up cycling.
@@christophergarcia1935 he's not 230 pounds he's 249lbs 104kg is 230lbs.
@@christophergarcia1935 im 230 too
Im sorry, but "keeps rolling" is what speed exactly?
Muscle memory, bit of practice Obi in sprint will challenge top spot easy. Longer distance of course would be very different. Looks like a load of fun !
the question "is a body builder actually good on a bike?" has been plaguing me for a long time and now it has been answered
Same here haha
wow this video was so good, loved the interactions between all the athletes/staff/crew etc. good vibes
Something tells me if obi wanted to he’d kill it at the track.
Good on Obi!!! He was really quite good on the track. Now for fun, let’s have the cyclist do one of Obi’s workouts.
Cycling is very intense for heart-lung and certain leg muscles. Aside from that, any other muscle bulk or fat is a liability. You basically wanna be all leg, heart, lungs & tiny everything else.
Well done Obi and Daisy! That looks really scary! 👏👏👏👏👏
I bet he's a XXXXXXXXXXXXL in a Castelli jersey
*peering on 'influencers': "I mean, I look good, right?" MOTO OF MY LIFE!
In other news, I wish there was a velodrome near me. I would happily pay whatever to learn to ride a fixed gear over a couple weeks.
"I mean, I look good right?" Legend. Great vlog too
Looking at the thumb nail, I'm guessing obi is 7'5 and Francis is 6'0"
Obi’s face at the clip pedals part was hilarious… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤜🏽🤛🏽
Our house used to have Herne Track over our back fence. I so wish I was in to cycling then!
Obi is a GIANT. Tho, I'd be interested to see who has the bigger arms - Obi or Justin.
More videos with Obi please! (And it's only fair that you workout with him now... )
I love gym and I do cycling for cardio so this race is very interesting
That thumbnail... *chefs kiss*
When was the last time you saw a body builder winning a marathon? It's never gonna happen.
those stayer cycles wheels are gorgeous!! also nice vid
🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵🚵🚵 ride safe guys
Er, the jumper at the end is the CLEAR winner of this video 👍
Obi is in amazing shape, but there is a reason cyclists are not that shape. You only need to be able to bench 6.8kg in cycling, not 680kg.
Track cyclists can probably bench 10-15 times that weight. Track cycling is mostly about strenght, opposed to road cycling where is all about endurance, and thus the different body types seen on each discipline.
Going round in circles is NAFF!
Just a fun idea
Body builder=steel bike
Cyclist=any light bike
Redo the comp on a watt bike. Be interesting to see what Obis power is against Tobias or other elite guy.
I'm guessing huge, what 20 stone ish mashing down on pedals is gonna produce watts. The sheer torque would be massive. What a hero though, the frame of that bike looked ridiculous under his mass
Obi, a Man Mountain, he's a Unit😳
Love riding fixed but only ever do it on roads... must get to a velodrome and try.
Come down to fixed beers league! Got the Cafeteros team up next (amazing guys who are trying to bring the Columbian flavour to London)
I wanted to make it down for one of these but couldn't make it work unfortunately :(
@@Cade_Media fair enough:( still loved the video man!
2:36 . Zwift Mode: Enabled. Nice video guys!
I was just wondering the the other day if Obi was stil biking! Very interesting content! Cheers
That looked lie fun, love to see you do a gym workout with Obi. For the taster session "ride in a straight line and look around you", well that's me out for a start :)
Obi is huge, also it was good to see that guy from London cycling again.
By the way in the future, try an Olympic weightlifter! They have tremendous power to weight ratio on their body (but typically poorer cardio) whereas a bodybuilder optimises for physique but not necessarily pure strength/power. Would love to see this!
I have worn a 3XL and it did not look like that.
I find the thumbnail hilarious for some reason.
I would love to see this with an Olympic level middle distance runner, sprinter, or long distance runner.
Been both a bodybuilder and a class 3 cyclist, the upper body and lack of aerobic and dragging the weight, kills bodybuilding. Still 12 stones at 57 in the US . still whomping at physical job and on the bike, downhill MTB for certain.
man the big guy looked like Monster 13 from windbreakers.
Good GOD look at that man!
If Obi telling me that he is track sprinter, i would believe him. His body like sir Chris Hoy
more vid with obi he so fun
Is that the first time Obi has ridden with clipless pedals?? Im pretty impressed though he probably didnt actually do a whole lot of clipping in and out for that matter.
Man the whole peleton can draft behind the bodybuilder!
Obi is basically a real life representation of Ion Göttlich and you cannot change my mind
obi just need a “ bo o o wa ahh” means “bottles of watter”😂
This guy is the black Gustav Ditters of Tour de pharmacy .
Conclusion of the video - Tobias is fast in all settings.
Track cyclists tend to look like body builders anyway. 😅
I had to subscribe to obi. props to him for getting out there and trying it
What camera do you have where you can see yourself? Would be so helpful!
In the U.S most kids(ages 3-6) bikes are fixies I learned how to ride a bike on a fixie. Is that not the same in the U.K ?

the whole point of this comment is that you do crossfit and you want people to know
@@why3011 the big guy does crossfit. I’m a triathlete.
@@martinbarabe4643 we get it, you do crossfit.
did the intro at herne hill like this about 18 months ago...really enjoyable and waiting to get back there sometime...
Great video as always! Does anyone know what sunglasses Daisy uses? Looking to get a new pair
sungod Vulcans!
What was his ratio on that bike just curious
I'm also a pretty muscular guy and i wonder what cycling jersey brands would fit me. Most cycling jerseys are tight on my arms and chest, if i choose a larger size the fabric flaps around on my torso. Any suggestions?
Obi wearing an Attacus.cc jersey here
@@Cade_Media thank you very much!
Tell Obi to bring Craig and Jas 😂 Crossfitter does cycling sounds fun HAHAHAHA
Obi should get into acting... He's just 'got it'
what wheelset is she using the colossi?
Try going up mountains at elevation of course, body builder nearly dies within a mile, that's a fact as I went through that nonsense.
Great video i think it would be good too introduce the people you feature in your vids like jess and Tobias who are they and do they have there own channels
Hey, what is the song at @2:35?
We need to see Francis in the gym, and on an assault bike 💀
😱
the instructor was really good.
All bodybuilder cyclists in the house hit the like button
Looking forward to seeing a hench Francis Cade
His arms are thicker than most peoples entire upper bodies!!!!
What is her cycling shades? looks nice
Get Obi on a big big big big ring!
give this guy a massive gear 60x14 or something similar! he will smash all of people for the flying lap!!!
I would like to see this repeated as a Zwift session where both cyclists use the same configuration . That will eliminate all the external variables
The scariest first ride I ever had was the first time around a 45 degree banked velodrome.
The most fun I ever had on a bike was on the same 45 degree banked velodrome.
Racing on a velodrome is addictive. You have been warned people!
That (ancient, but seemingly very well maintained?) Herne Hill facility looks to be about a 20* bank
Dude has serious guns. Specially made Atacus kit? 💪
Watching From The Philippines! 🇵🇭 #ProudToBeFilipino
👋
one day rest - two days cross fit - two days cross country - two days cross dressing
Obi build like a marvel hero
Oh man.... Can't wait to see a stacked Francis 🤣 not that you AREN'T already pretty buff 😜
i used to cycle past that place when i lived in Dulwich.
Simple happy days.
Obi is Jedi, he will win someday!
Colours in the vid 🤙🤙🤙
How about a flying ¼ instead of a full lap, or maybe even a standing start (heaven help those skinny steel tubes! 😆), see if Obi can put that muscle to good use over a shorter burst?
I used to do lots of squats, I could sprint at 1400w but had rubbish +1 ftp. Now I do zero weights, am much faster, but can’t sprint to save my life!
This arrived in my recommended, small world.
hello Albert!
Smaller body build less wind resistance. That is why they're faster!
This is a huge factor for sure!
Ok this is long shot, but did your mate Justin do the voice over on that new zwift ad by any chance?
You know who I can beat any second? A 2 year old.
which glasses is Obi wearing? they look sick
I always wondered why I don't see buff guys on bikes
She: We are going play the animal game.
Me: 😳
