The Climber’s Body: Staying Light vs Gaining Muscle Mass

Ok kicking off with a hot topic in this video – staying lighting vs getting strong? It’s an age old discussion topic amongst climbers in almost all disciplines and one that needs thought and transparency of discussion. We’ve worked with almost every body type you can possibly imagine and also with most strategies of body composition control…. we’ve seen it all and we know what works in there long term and the direction that most climbers should be headed in.

Q1: How do you balance muscle mass and climbing performance?
Q2: How can you help your climbing partner and what can you learn from them?
Q3: What is your favourite crag drink?
Q4: How do you manage your food whilst climbing?
