Hypergravity diet

I'm experimenting with a new diet that is unlocking explosive gains in strength and endurance.

This diet is high in cheeze, meat, bread, beer, ice cream. Anything you want, as much as you want, all the time!!! It's so easy.

This diet will result in additional body mass that mimics the hypergravity vests the system board guys like, only I wear mine ALL THE TIME!! Think of the gains you will see from this 24/7 increase in resistance to every move you pull on a gym or rock wall.

Since I started this diet/training program, I have gone from 11a redpoints all the way up to 11b redpoints, but I weigh 15-20 lbs more! The key is to just climb all the routes you climb now, but eat as much as possible. Plateau = success.

actually your funny post contains a nugget of wisdom in it I think. I have found during times (a few weeks or even a month or so) that I do not want to really push the grades I tend to eat higher carb and higher calorie in general for increased recovery times from training. This allows me to get more training sessions in where otherwise on a more restricted diet (to keep mass stable or even cut bodyfat) my recovery times are slower.

As I get a project I am really psyched about then I tend to start dropping some calories so my bodyweight can keep creeping down. This is not a huge difference by the way (maybe up to 3-5lbs) but as we all know 3-5 pounds can make a HUGE difference especially when crimping on small holds is involved.

I also find it helps me to be more relaxed during certain periods and then more strict during others...that way I do not have the expectation of myself to be strict 24/7.

Peace!

I know that this is in jest (or ingest? Like your pie? ZING!), but once you learn how easily your own body can take weight off, you learn that there are certain times in training that you can afford to splurge on desserts, bacon, and cheese, then just drop the weight back off for send season!

Personally, I'm timing my next hangboard cycle (which requires adding weight) to coincide with the period from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Bring on the junk food!

Yes! Finally someone who understands that fat is evil and should be eliminated from the diet. It's not like its a crucial part of the cell membrane or essential to absorbing a handful of necessary vitamins.

Seriously though, my personal theory is that for those of us who are highly active one day and absolutely fat and lazy the next can afford a high-fat diet on the days we don't do much. Low-active and rest is when most fat is burned in the body, and there's really only the need for carbs for the brain and proteins for normal repair and function. I've found that if you live a sedentary lifestyle save for the fact that you climb 3-4 days a week, you can get away with quite a bit of good fats. I recently went through about a two month stretch where I had no serious exercise regimen and ate a diet that was somewhat restricted, and roughly 40-45% fat, lots of which were from nuts and cheeses. I lost ~10 lbs, just saying.

Wisconsin rock climbers love cheese, even at the crag. Ohh and beer, there should always be beer everywhere1

I wouldn't be surprised, I'm a sucker for anything maple frosted, not to give away my New England heritage or anything...
