THIGH'S THE LIMIT
Quadzilla cyclist Robert Forstermann has freak 74cm thighs and is so powerful he snaps the chain on his bike
QUADZILLA cyclist Robert Forstermann has the biggest thighs in cycling — and his legs are wider than some pro riders' WAISTS.
The German, 33, came to prominence during the London 2012 Olympics, where he went toe-to-toe with Sir Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny.
But even Hoy's massive thighs could not compete with the German's gargantuan limbs.
Former Olympian Forstermann won bronze in London seven years ago and has long held the reputation for the sport's biggest thighs.
An image of his legs went viral on Reddit of Forstermann's legs in full beast mode starting a bike race.
In the image fans were staggered to see every sinew in his calf muscles and legs.
Forstermann can produce around 700 watts of power for a minute — which one hilarious experiment proved is enough to turn bread into toast in a toaster.
He also keeps his body in tip-top shape by getting 'cupping' therapy that was made famous by Michael Phelps during the 2016 Olympics.
Of course you do not get in that shape by just riding a bike and Forstermann gets under the squat rack several days a week.
In 2016 he even did a five-minute squat competition against powerlifters Andrej Mostovenko and Thomas Faber and strongman Tim Schmidt to see who could come out on top.

He managed an incredible 68 squats in five minutes, while the winner did a hugely impressive 85.
While he is not expected to be involved in the German team for London 2012, he competed in Six Day London back in October and was involved in a huge crash that left a huge track burn down his leg.
The track was not so lucky.
