Absolutely jealous of 2 things that you have... 1 is the amazing weather and views you get in your backyard, another is the wardrobe full of MAAP kits that you wear everyday!
Top!! From 185 w for 82 kilos 18 months ago to 300 for 74 kilos yesterday (in a climb near Alcobaça Portugal !!) I am super happy too!! Great job buddy !!!
New to your channel. Loving your honesty - life can be challenging and it's refreshing to see a creator be up front with the ups and downs. Keep it up mate - you're inspiring me to keep pushing. I only got into cycling this year. Shout out from Melbourne!
Great episode Thomas, consistency is key…..I’m currently recovering from hip replacement surgery so off the bike completely obviously, but your videos, and particularly ones like this keep me motivated for when I’m back on the bike…thank you. Ben
Love how you casually drop those bmx tricks! 🙌🙌 Think there’s definitely something in long(ish) dog walks during rest days. Got a Patterdale Terrier back in March (and combined with cycling 4-5 times a week), walking him everyday has made a massive difference to my FTP / weight loss / muscle gain. He also helps to ensure my sessions are (mostly) structured and sensible too - if I’m too knackered to walk him, he gives me hell 😂
Great results Thomas. It's always super motivational to get positive results. Most people say consistency is key and I also think not overloading keeps you that little bit fresher, rest days and lighter days. Anyway congrats man. Love the videos.
Awesome! Great video, very motivating for someone like myself who is trying to get consistent and build their fitness on the bike. I'm also looking into starting weighted jump rope too 🤷🏻♂️
Great job! I'm cycling much more recently as the summer heat resides. Got some waist fat to eliminate. The good thing about cycling is that we can exercise for several hours at a time.
Well done on the achievement! I had a crash 6 weeks ago and haven’t been on the bike since, this has inspired me to get the bike fixed and get back out there 👍⚡️
That’s it mate get back out there… don’t let the crash get in your head, just get back out there and start smashing it again, you’ll soon be smiling… 😁💪
Muscle memory is key to getting back your previous fitness levels , but the physical and mental strength that set it in the first place and to achieve it again pushing further is massive, good job,
Thank goodness you didn’t start swimming and running Thomas. Afraid this might turn into a Triathlon channel 🤣 well done on the results. There’s nothing like consistency and perhaps a little bit of supercompensation 💪 great vid and love the 🐶
😮❤Woah i notice the tattoo looks awesome and satisfying, i watch the video 3 years ago and you always ride in the sun but how Still looks awesome?? Whats the secret❤ ..thanks brother
Love your videos 🤗 Now I have one question. What is the name of your saddle and Looking at video it looks level. Does this change at all having that trainer set indoors! My trainer is 1 degrees upward and changes angle a bit and comfort indoor vs outdoor. Just trying figure out if other people just throw their bike on trainer and go about their day so anyone can chime in . Keep up the great work!
It’s the selle italia slr boost carbonio… what a mouthful! 🤣 Regarding position on the bike, my position doesn’t seem to change but I know some trainers are designed to be used with a front wheel riser which will obviously change the position.
I saw an episode or two where your trek cracked or was giving problems. Can you point me to episode when you went back to your red bike? Must’ve missed it. Thanks Thomas!
Who knows… just keep in shape I guess! I’ve got the inaugural cycle in paradise event next month. Looking forward to that… plus a trip back to the uk! Also have plans to start boxing… there’s a few things.
@@TheCyclingTattooist I was concerned you lost your mojo but obviously you’re back on it 💥. It’s good to set goals for the future, its keeps one motivated.
Hey Thomas, fellow bmx rider here. What frame are you predominantly using when you ride the bmx? As in tt length, year and model. I noticed you have a nice collection of bmx bikes 🤘
Hi Thomas! How did you find out about that group ride? Is it an open group or just by invitation? I live in the Lisbon area and I would like to join a strong group ride!
Not really… I was a little conscious of my diet and was trying to eat healthy “ish” but I also was still going out eating pizza and having occasional cakes too…
300+ is amazing man. After this 30 days, perhaps jump on an eight weeks endurance plan and couple it with calorie deficit to lose a bit of weight as well. Then that 300 watts shines! But you know the rules in deficits, easy and slow.
@@TheCyclingTattooist I get you brother. I also carry a bit of muscles in my upper body and I know it doesn’t help my cycling performance! It’s a dilemma! 😂
Ramp test absolutely isn't FTP for most people. But as you say, useful low-stress progress tracker. If you're willing to incurr more fatigue but not do a 40 minute or 1 hour test, 20 minute is usually pretty accurate.
@@TheCyclingTattooist Thats True :D I try to watch series or your youtube vids when there are new ones^^ so the time is flying and for me its good to do some mind training ^^ in the ironmans i need to do the same ^^xD
One minute giving Zwift the finger ! 🖕 Next minute........ 😅 30 days ? Los Angeles 2028 BMX "Road to Gold" 🥇 training starts for you tomorrow ! Not a BMX er personally, but those guys in Paris ! Geez

Get well soon mate… and good luck getting back to it! 😁🙌
Big up Thomas a inspiration for many
Thanks so much! 🙏
You are amazing Thomas. Be very proud of yourself. Lovely stuff. 😊
Aww thanks! 🥰🙏
Ohhh channel name change! 👀

That’s a great result Thomas, love the video and to see you mixing things up. I need to follow suit and stop finding excuses for not getting out!!!
Always feel better for getting out once you’re out… just force yourself and then you won’t regret it! 😁👍
Great results Thomas. It's always super motivational to get positive results. Most people say consistency is key and I also think not overloading keeps you that little bit fresher, rest days and lighter days. Anyway congrats man. Love the videos.
I'm proud of you bro!
Brilliant vid, well done boy
🥰🙏
Love the vids mate. I only started getting into cycling in april this year. great content
Really enjoyed this one mate and can appreciate the work involved in putting that video together over that much time too, enjoy the new legs 👍
Yeah it was definitely more work than I’m used to… but happy with how it came out and even happier with the result! 🤪🤘
Well done mate,
ftp to only dream about will keep plugging away 🚴♂️🚴♂️👍
🥰🙏
good job mate! love your content
Incredible result man. I’ve just got back into cycling myself after a break of about 7 years!
Oh awesome mate… keep it up! 😁🙌

Wow great result dude muscle memory kicking straight back in 😊 Pete 🚴🏻👍
Muscle memory is key to getting back your previous fitness levels , but the physical and mental strength that set it in the first place and to achieve it again pushing further is massive, good job,
Yeah it’s the like the legs woke up and said… “oh yeahhh I remember this!” 🤣🙌
This is awesome results and motivation for all…..and I have to say the extensive wardrobe of Maap kits is Sick!
Yeah I’ve accumulated a fair bit now… 🤣
@@TheCyclingTattooist it’s hard not to with the quality of kit they make.
Letssss gooo!! Except when you're in Porto the next time, then you can chill a bit 😂ongrats on having the discipline and will, it's not easy 😉
Keep inspiring, T. 🤙🏼
🙏🙏🙏
You are a driven man 😊. Don’t burn out.
You live in paradise Thomas!
That’s insane!!! Great job
Great result 👍 personally I’ve found riding with faster lads has helped bring me on, but also nothing beats consistency.
Oh 100% pushing yourself to ride with people stronger than you is always a good move… just might not feel like it at the time! 🤣
This is very inspiring, well done mate
Thank you! 🙏
Great stuff. Inspirational.
Quality video again mate love it 👏👏💪
Thank you! 😁🙏
Thank goodness you didn’t start swimming and running Thomas. Afraid this might turn into a Triathlon channel 🤣 well done on the results. There’s nothing like consistency and perhaps a little bit of supercompensation 💪 great vid and love the 🐶
🤣🤣🤣 brilliant! Triathlon..? Who do you take me for, Cam Nicholls?
Thanks for the support, couldn’t do it without the RCA! 😉
Man, which camera do u use? Thanks)
Great video love your work 👊
Thanks so much! 😁🙏
Congrats on the FTP increase - you’re gonna be an absolute weapon on the roads of Essex on your next visit!
Haha! 😈
Great effort, well done!

208bpm!! 😮
Great Job, you motivated me again 🥰
Amazing… great to hear! 🙌
Well played geez. Great dedication. Is there a next target?!
Just keep my fitness this time and don’t get slack again… want to get involved with more of the fast group rides around here!
"I hate the gym" - those biceps must be coming from a lot of tattooing 😄. Love your work!
🤣🥰
😮❤Woah i notice the tattoo looks awesome and satisfying, i watch the video 3 years ago and you always ride in the sun but how Still looks awesome?? Whats the secret❤

Hey Thomas ,
Where is your nice Trek bike ????
But your results are impressive!!!
Long gone… I left my sponsor.
I saw an episode or two where your trek cracked or was giving problems. Can you point me to episode when you went back to your red bike? Must’ve missed it. Thanks Thomas!
Sure thing… ruclips.net/video/NXkDiEDsJog/видео.htmlsi=Mkqg9EgpD3rIjB0H
Thanks mate, enjoyed it! Was going to leave you a little donation but not sure how. Is there a payment button somewhere on your page? Not seeing it.
No I haven’t got anything like that… didn’t even know you could to be honest! I’m thinking of setting up a patreon soon for exclusive videos… 😁👍
Great stuff 👏
So … what’s the next target/ challenge?
Who knows… just keep in shape I guess! I’ve got the inaugural cycle in paradise event next month. Looking forward to that… plus a trip back to the uk! Also have plans to start boxing… there’s a few things.
@@TheCyclingTattooist I was concerned you lost your mojo but obviously you’re back on it 💥. It’s good to set goals for the future, its keeps one motivated.
Mojo definitely comes and goes… but that’s normal 👍
Guerrero deck in the garage !!
🤘🤘🤘
Yo! Thomas is sick on the BMX bike.
🥰🙏
great 30 day effort!
Thank you! 🙏
Inspirational, aspirational. Sorry, don't know any more long words🙄
You’re unequivocally excused from exasperating your linguistic phraseology… 🤣👍
Hey Thomas, fellow bmx rider here. What frame are you predominantly using when you ride the bmx? As in tt length, year and model. I noticed you have a nice collection of bmx bikes 🤘
well done mate
🙏🙏🙏
Good stuff!
🙏🙏🙏
How beautiful is that bmx park? Back in the UK that would be full of kids and graffitied to 🤬!
Yeah I find it crazy how little it’s used… real good park!
Loving the BMX mate tempted to treat myself 😮
Do it mate… so much fun!
Hi Thomas! How did you find out about that group ride? Is it an open group or just by invitation? I live in the Lisbon area and I would like to join a strong group ride!
One of my pals invited me along… I literally know nothing about it! Proper strong group though… 🥵
Do you like your Cannondale frame? Is that a super 6?
Yeah man it’s a great bike! Like a Swiss Army knife!
The cycling tattooist
Just getting back into it , Did you have a specific nutrition plan ? Hello from NZ ...
Not really… I was a little conscious of my diet and was trying to eat healthy “ish” but I also was still going out eating pizza and having occasional cakes too…
Pastel del natas is his secret…

No thanks! I’d rather be more powerful than lighter 😉
@@TheCyclingTattooist I get you brother. I also carry a bit of muscles in my upper body and I know it doesn’t help my cycling performance! It’s a dilemma! 😂
Plus the words “calorie deficit” just sound horrific to me… that’s not a life I want to live!
@@TheCyclingTattooist 😂 I know! Missus won’t be happy either! 😜
Ramp test absolutely isn't FTP for most people. But as you say, useful low-stress progress tracker. If you're willing to incurr more fatigue but not do a 40 minute or 1 hour test, 20 minute is usually pretty accurate.
fair play t
🙏🙏🙏
Need to see that BMX collection
Might do a bmx special episode soon… keep thinking about it!
Can you try a cheap trekking urban bike?
I’m actually planning to try something cheap and cheerful soon… 👀
@@TheCyclingTattooist Also good idea is to try a vintage racing bike.
I actually used to own one… but sadly she’s gone now! Maybe I’ll get another one day…
You changed your channel name? 😢 it was unique before. Lots of youtubers with just names now. But you do you bro 😊
Surely it’s not that upsetting… 🤣
@TheCyclingTattooist I suppose I just liked the name. And the intro will now have to be changed 😆
I feel guilty when I exercise too much 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
All the faffing is a big reason I do a lot of indoor training.
Yeah me too… it’s so much more time efficient and I get a solid work out in… 😁🙌
Doing great Thomas ❤
Thank you! 🙏
what’s the best way to build ftp?
Apparently walking a dog and riding bmx! 🤣👌
@@TheCyclingTattooist 😂😂 better pick me up a bmx now so 😂
Excuse me dear what your height ?
173cm 👍
do you own unlimited maap jerseys?
Haha pretty much… I’ve lost count! 🤣
zwift is shit but i use it for my tri training every day even on sunny day ^^it helps mental and strengh the legs ^^
It’s a useful tool for sure… but just sooooo mindnumbing!
@@TheCyclingTattooist Thats True :D I try to watch series or your youtube vids when there are new ones^^ so the time is flying and for me its good to do some mind training ^^ in the ironmans i need to do the same ^^xD
One minute giving Zwift the finger ! 🖕
Next minute........ 😅
30 days ?
Los Angeles 2028 BMX "Road to Gold" 🥇 training starts for you tomorrow ! Not a BMX er personally, but those guys in Paris ! Geez
First
Second 🎉
😁👍
FTP means nothing….
It means Functional Threshold Power. Roughly your hour power. That means a lot in cycling. Are you on the right channel?
Mate, just stop
🤣🤣🤣
Nice arm tattoo…..said nobody, ever…..
Your mum seemed to like it…
Come on Thomas you phatass we want to see some real results 😂
I’ll do better next time! 🤣
Prison cycling tattooist is full of hard ass workout knowledge. Including on how not to drop the soap
Strange comment. What has prison and soap got to do with anything in this video?
