Totally agree with this regarding the muscle loss. I’m naturally a big guy, 6 ft 4 in. around 165-170 Ibs. Tested at 365 watts last summer at 170 lbs. I then intentionally lost 10 pounds. Felt like total garbage at this weight. Gained the weight back and what do you know, I was back to my normal self. Recently did 382 watts for 20 minutes @ 170 pounds. So, apparently my optimal weight is 165 to 170. Just goes to prove that losing weight won’t necessarily make you faster.
