If you had the choice would you rather climb a couple of grades harder, but be a little on the heavy side -OR- would you rather not climb as hard but look really good in a bikini?
Or how about this:
Would you rather be heavy but climb more often or would you rather be thin and climb less often but be climbing harder routes?

I'd rather look really good in a bikini. That would be something.

Thats how I read it...I know that when I've been training hard (not so much climbing as of late, more triathlon stuff) that sometimes it seems I can't eat enough. Weight probably doesn't vary much, but I definitely need better food & more of it. Conversely when my training load drops off, my appetite backs off (which feels quite weird after working so hard to eat enough).
Interesting reading, thanks for the link Stephanie.

if you're out for long endurance stuff CarboPro is a good alternative to gatorade/etc. Nowhere near the taste. See http://www.sportsquestdirect.commcrib wrote:Anymore supplement suggestions I am a bit curious.
Also major benefits if you consume a protein source within 30min of a workout...interestingly there are studies that indicate that whey protein uptake is faster/more efficient than soy based protein. So ditch those builder-bar things & go for the nasty tasting whey powder (Trader Joes has it pretty cheap, surely you can find a cheaper source someplace)
