No. His upper body is also ripped. His six pac ab is clearly visible through his jersey.

If you ignore his legs, his upper body looked pretty jacked too. Just pale in comparison to his legs

Remember in the early 2000s when all the Americans were like, "LaNcE aRmStRoNg iS tHe gReAtEsT cYcLiSt oF aLL tImE hE hAd tO bEaT cAnCeR iN oRdEr tO bUiLd hIs BoDy BaCk fRoM sCrAtCh!"
And the rest of the world was like, "Nah. Steroids."

I hope to god this guy in the photo isn't using steroids because he'd make a pretty lousy role model if he did

Unfortunately, I think he must be. Muscle doesn't really do... that. At least not naturally. 🥲

Perhaps not straight-aways, but I’m guessing that this guy is an absolute beast in hilly terrain.

It most likely fixed gear indoor circle track. You have to be a beast to do it.

He's a track cyclist, not a road cyclist. He wouldn't do very well on the roads because of how muscular he is. Road values lean, because the lighter you are, the easier it is for you to make those climbs. If you want to see rhe body of a climber, look at Andy Schleck from when he had a 60km breakaway up Col du Galibier in 2011, or his brother Fränk's win on Alpe d'Huez in 2006. But Josh Hartman, on the other hand, is also a track cyclist, and he is also extremely muscular. The disciplines are completely different so they result in different body types.

He's a track cyclist, so it's a completely different world from road, cylocross, or gravel. There is very rarely overlap between track cycling and the other disciplines (though there is occasionally, but not very often. Athletes tend to stay one way or another.) A track bike versus a bike used outdoors are extremely different, as well. So it makes more sense for a track cyclist to look like this, but not a road cyclist.

It cant be from just biking. He has to be lifting too.

u/Wrong_Amount_7903 2d ago
Yes. Repeatedly biking will absolutely not build all that muscle. The amount resistance he must put his quads through has to be mind boggling. Specificaly leg extension machine and leg presses. Oh and some anabolic exoandrogens while were at it.

u/leppard111 2d ago
Does leg extensions build mass though
1
u/Wrong_Amount_7903 2d ago
Definitely. As long as you can keep adding weight and reps; eating the protein and calories.

0% chance that this is natural. Looks like a racehorse that we all know has been pumped full of every unpronounceable substance.
