Sir Bradley Wiggins has gone all Conor McGregor on us by dabbling into another sport, and he's clearly making the necessary adjustments to his body so he's cut out for it.

The five-time Olympic Gold medal winner, who also won the Tour de France in 2012, is trying his hand at rowing - a very different sport to his sport of cycling.

Since locking away his bike, he's being having a good go at rowing and appears genuinely serious about it, with it being confirmed that he is making his competitive debut at the British Indoor Championships next month.

And only last week, he shared a snap of him on Instagram looking beefed up - a monumental contrast to the ectomorph body type he had in his decorated career on the bike, particularly in the early days.

Anyone from the age of 11-88 can partake in the British Indoor Championship and the 37-year-old will compete in the 2,000m race at the Olympic Velodrome on 9 December.

Back in June, Britain's most decorated Olympian said the following to the Daily Mail about turning to rowing:

"I took up rowing when I retired just to keep fit, but my numbers started getting quite good so I've started taking it up professionally now and getting coached seven days a week.

"I'm doing the British Championships in December, and I'm going to see how far I can take it, maybe a sixth Olympic gold?' I don't know how far I'm going to take it. At the moment I'm just doing it because it's like 'ooh yeah, a chance to go to another Olympics'.

"I might be being a bit delusional but the times suggest I'm not, and at the end of the day I quite like times - that's the basis of everything I've trained for over the years: if you can produce this number for this amount of time, you will win.

"I'm actually not that far [off]. So if I train for 18 months flat out, will I get there? Why not?"
