How important is lifting for vanity?

Weight gain is fine as long as your relative strength doesn't drop. Upper body strength is actually important for climbing hills on a bike (you're pulling on the handlebars to give you a stronger push).

What I would suggest is including calisthenics in your lifting routine. If you find yourself able to do less muscle ups (for example) that coincides with a weight gain, your relative strength has dropped, and you might take a performance hit in your sport. I would also keep track of race times though, if you're not getting slower, you're obviously not too big.

Are you more interested in being Lance Armstrong, or getting girls? If you're not good enough to make the Tour de France team, you'll get more pussy by putting some muscle on while staying lean.

6'2" 138 is actually Holodomor status, my friend. I was 6'2" 148 a couple years ago, and I was a spooky skeleton.

To answer your question, it is PARAMOUNT to lift. The kind of attraction I generated before I lifted vs. now is night and fucking day. Before, women wouldn't even look at me, and now I catch them eye fucking me all the time and I love it. I love catching them staring and see them look away quickly. Tinder matches on the daily, and plenty of pussy from it.

Fucking lift, bro. Women care about glutes, and strong legs are an awesome foundation, but you gotta get that upper body swole my friend.

And EAT. A LOT.

I raced CX and cat 3-4 road for about 4 years. I was never "good" but it was my passion. C

Yes you should do upper body stuff too. Unless you're walking around all day in short shorts, nobody will even realize that your legs are ripped. However, everybody can see your arms, delts, traps and v-taper even when fully clothed.

I don't even warm up with your bodyweight in squats. You're way too light for your height. You should be sitting at 210lbs at least. You have to put on more weight for your own sake as a man. You may not realize it but that's definitely Holocaust status, damn.

I should add that while my upper half isn't special, my legs look like they were chiseled from the granite of the gods.

You abs are not impressive, they are like big tits on a fat girl, no one cares.
