So it looks like that bouldering wad cwp has been "working hard" trimming down. And from the "wanky" pics on fb it seems to of helped.

My question is dieting to this extent really worth the five months of hard work? Surely this hard work could be better spent eating a balance meal as well as actually training?

Is the fact that you can now see a few ribs really a sign of ones strength??

I hope the young guns that follow these uba wads don't emulate this extreme fasting.

No, but climbing your hardest is. Do you actually know what you're talking about, or is it just snarky speculation?

[wolfgang]

I'm not speculating, it's a fact I can now see ribs! Please don't get on your forum high horse. No doubt his potential to climb his pb is around the corner. And what price?

[Paul B]

He looks lean not malnutritioned, what price do you speak of? Eating "clean" requires dedication rather than starvation, the latter would simply lead to muscle wastage.

My point was he just has done. And had his best comp result so far.

[wolfgang]

Great, grief from another calorie counter!

[Paul B]

are you kidding? I'm currently on a holiday where I'm basically just eating and drinking my way around a city. I literally have a box full of pastries in my other (sugar coated) hand.

The fact that I understand certain dietary methods means sweet FA, in fact, when I did eat clean for a prolonged period I was at my heaviest ever.

You sound like one of those people who likes to kid themselves that they're not just eating cos they like eating but they're doing it cos they should be. Accept that you're a gatty cos you're greedy and get over it (like I have)

Done a straw poll and my wife and sons agree

[Dr T]

saw him the other week and he just looked, and climbed, effing hard... 

[mindfull]

Transformation from Chuck Norris form to Bruce Lee form. Not bad! 

[measles23]

And those aren't ribs; that's his serratus anterior - the 'boxer's muscle'
Don't fuck with his uppercut!

[Wood FT]

Don't fuck with his uppercut!

My passion for eating too much always managed to outweigh my ambition to crush. Good on him he's in phenomenal shape right now.

The OP is clearly just being a handbag bitch, but he is right that that is a seriously wanky picture. Made me feel slightly ill, and pull those trousers up FFS.

What happened 5 months ago??

[wolfgang]

Get a room!

[mindfull]

CWP doesn't climb on boulders, he just pulls them down. 

[Stubbs]

What makes you think that he's only been dieting and not training? 

From his spray sheet he seems to have got some hard climbs in despite working on the rigs half the time http://www.8a.nu/?IncPage=http%3A//www.8a.nu/scorecard/AscentList.aspx%3FUserId%3D1551%26AscentType%3D1%26AscentClass%3D0%26AscentListTimeInterval%3D1%26AscentListViewType%3D0%26GID%3D654dde228fa4fc0b78046bbfde8a7525

Have to agree with the above, your post comes across as bitchy and little else, if you can boulder as hard at a higher body fat %age then well done.

[Nibile]

Don't fuck with his uppercut!

 

This makes me feel very curious...

[James Malloch]

What makes you think that he's only been dieting and not training?

He was taking at raven tor a few weeks ago about the amount of training he does offshore. Loads of running,  insane amounts of core stuff and an equally insane amount of fingerboarding. Proper beasting himself. Definitely a hell ofa lot of work and dedication gone into it by the sound of it!

[Muenchener]

He doesn't look starved at all. He looks like a fit athlete on peak form (that he probably won't be able to sustain for very long)

What happened 5 months ago??

Is this a trick question? His girl left the country innit?

[SEDur]

I would like to see the source of your information, on which you base that he starves himself.

Its just not realistic.

[lagerstarfish]

bollocks

I just got caught looking at facebook selfies of a half naked, fit young man with his trousers falling off

there's no way I'll be able to explain that I was only interested in weight loss methods - "start eating for one" is the standard response from Mrs Starfish



has there been no mention of broccoli ?

[mindfull]

We have Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, uppercuts but you best us with Brocolli. Amazing thread I have to say. 
We should upgrade to a stickie about selfies. 

[a dense loner]

Chris has been offshore twice and he had nothing to do but train, on his second trip I had to work in full breathing apparatus in ridiculous heat for the entire time while he continued training. I don't look like an athlete tho, and he could do with some food
