or are we talking about someone urinating on something that they value, rather than getting it all in the urinal?

eg, their own chips or a nice pair of shoes

Excellent news. All I have to do to lose weight is to make sure I piss anywhere but in the toilet. Glad that's clear.

No change then.

So Dave Mac was 5'8" and 66kg, so a BMI of 22, and dropped to 60kg or a BMI of 20.  Still very much in the "normal" range.  Daniel woods is 5'8" and i think he is about 130-135 as well. BFD

A few years ago I did an extract of climber data from 8a.nu for the top 100 ranked boulderers and the average BMI was about 20, route climbers was about 19. I think the highest BMI for boulderers in the top 100 was about 24, lowest was about 18. 

By the way, I only use BMI because it creates a useful comparison of height to weight. 

On a personal note, that means I only need to drop 44lbs to get to 8C 

That's a pretty interesting way of looking at it.

If you go with the 10 global boulders on 8a.spray, their average BMI is 21.6 (or their abouts), they have all climbed 8C except Matt Fultz who ironically has one of the highest BMI @ 23.2.

I guess it would be interesting to figure out what is more important, body fat % or body composition (i.e. you could have someone with very low body fat but massive muscles and therefore has a relatively high BMI)

Food for thought!

Did someone say food?

No change then.

Adjust your aim. Or spray...

No shark I'm not, there's any myriad of expressions with the same premise. On another note Dave and Daniel may be 5'8 if stood on a step. The only way they've seen 5'8 is by looking up

Correct, 172cm isn't 5'8" its more like 5'6" which at 60kgs still makes him heavier than the likes of Mclure.

(I haven't met Mclod in person I'm just going by google.)

172cm= 5 foot 7.7 inches......

would climbing 8c be sufficient compensation for having a piss-covered bathroom?

On the contrary, you need to get off the pot or piss in it and providing you do piss in it and not out of it then everything will be piss.

[monkoffunk]

Did we ever get any example of when Dave pissed outside the pot, defining the idiom aside?

[rodma]

Climbing 8c would never compensate me for missing out on being a dad, but 8c isn't even a pipe dream for me

is the pot for pregnancy testing? pissing outside of it being an attempt to dodge the issue?

that would be the equivalent of "pissing past the stick"

[Sasquatch]

Not everybody is as light/heavy as they look.

When I complain about being a bit too heavy, most people (including other climbers) consistently underestimate my weight- they would say something less than my "performance weight" and in some occasions even less than my post-puberty lightest.

Same here

[rodma]

People assume I'm heavier than I am, when I complain about being a bit on the heavy side, even though 63kg is really heavy for me. 63kg is considered light for someone 5'6" north of the border though

Very interesting blog, amazing ascent.
I wonder what's made the biggest difference, if it's training on a replica on the board for a long period of time, the loss of body fat and weight or the change in main energy source which id imagine is fat judging by the diet. It could maybe be physiological too? Weight loss/fat loss must give confidence.
All I know is I'm 5,8 and weight 72.5kg which makes me a tubby git

[Coops_13]

I don't know much about this topic but is there such a thing as non-visible weight which can be lost? Like people with layers of fat underneath their muscles etc.?

I recently lost 9kg over a week or two mostly due to an illness similar to what Nibs must have had. I don't look all that different, maybe slightly smaller.

Only difference I feel is pull-ups feel slightly easier. Weird given I've been off climbing for almost a month.

Yes. Visceral fat. My scales give a reading for it.

[Nibile]

I seriously doubt that any relevant amount of visceral fat can be lost unless you're in a coffin or seriously overweight.. Fast weight losses during illnesses are usually mostly due to dehidration.
I still have to recover completely on this side, but yesterday after training I looked like a walking anatomy chart. I looked juiced. But didn't like the experience that led to this...

Careful.  Cowboyhat has carefully recalibrated the height chart to make his 181cm clearly over 6ft.  He's very particular about it.

I'm big enough (182, LEGIT!), to admit that I made a mistake. I read '5.6' feet as '5'6"' which clearly it is not.

Dave Mclod might be a strong 5'7", similar height to notable short arse Tom Cruise.

I can't stop thinking about his fatty tyre though. What a little fatty. Sitting on his lawn crying about the Scottish referendum comfort eating.

[SA Chris]

lol, noshing down on skirlie, haggis with neaps and tatties, cullen skink and for afters tablet and deep fried mars bars, washed down with irn bru.

[petejh]

Lard arse would be more accurate given his new diet of fat and protein.

I appear to have somehow linked into the Driffield weight watchers Facebook page.
