The thinking was that if a pro looks like "x" then all riders must be positioned accordingly to ride better. However, professionals are an anomaly in their ability to assume work-loads, perform, recover, etc. Strictly speaking, they will outperform any "normal" person just because of their innate physical gifts. However, just because they are professionals doesn't mean that they are properly positioned. In fact, most professionals have never been positioned and are not even coached. The average club cyclist has more access to proper training methods and proper positioning. The CPS method will help you realize your potential, providing the right fit to help you perform best as proper coaching and equipment selection is added to the mix.

13. Can muscularly "stronger" riders use longer cranks or get a more efficient position that takes advantage of this strength?
The strength of muscular groups should not determine the position of the cyclist even if it may influence it.  Once again, the position is not summarized with only one concept of what comfort is, or of the amount of force exerted on the cranks... the optimal position of a cyclist must be a comprehensive solution because only this type of approach makes it possible to manage the entirety of interactions between each system (muscular, skeletal, tendon, blood, ligament, articular, pulmonary...).
