Respect to anyone working offshore and training and losing weight. Most people can't resist the unlimited food laid out before them three times a day and get fat and sit about watching pron

And thanks for posting that pic shark, I'm so uncool I had no idea what a cwp diet was.

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

He was talking 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!

what is happening?! you were at the tor?!

Beast! As Chris said, fitting that in while doing shifts offshore is hugely impressive. It's about as much as I can get myself to do to stay out of the cakes and go for a jog a few times a week...

Which bit of my post did people not read? He didn't do anything offshore. It's not impressive staying off the cakes and the nice food every meal when he's in Trinidad and none of these are available to you

on his second trip I had to work in full breathing apparatus in ridiculous heat for the entire time while he continued training

How did you allow this to happen? Delegation is key.

Well, obviously if you'd mentioned that before I'd be less impressed... Though fitting that amount of volume in still puts me massively to shame. Does he manage to fit a fingerboard in his baggage or make do with whatever's out on the rig (stairs, door sills...)

Sorry, I misread your post. Easy to do when you say you actually did some work. I assumed it was a typo.

They weren't staying on a rig they were in a 5* luxury plantation house, fully equipped with air con, servants, mini bar, trouser press, 45 degree board and gold bidet.

Some random, useless and unrequested thoughts about dieting, etc.
Let's not forget that CWP had already climbed a few 8c's and numerous 8b+, so he was already quite good even with a few pounds on. 
He got ripped by healthy eating and hard training: it's probably these two factors that enabled him to crush, more than the little weight he could have lost, in my opinion.
Plus, being ripped as a consequence of training (and not just from under-eating - if this verb exists), gives a very high self confidence and this helps in climbing hard.
It's important to distinguish whether the aim is to be ripped and the consequence is climbing hard, or the aim is climbing hard and the consequence is being ripped. I tend to think that in CWP's case it's the latter.

So "famous" no one knew what the thread was about until they read it.

Better than a Gold board and a 45 degree bidet...

Shark why did you post my replies as if I'd contradicted myself? I quite obviously said he'd been offshore twice then in a separate statement said he didn't do any work offshore. One doesn't contradict the other. Last week I went to burbage, it doesn't necessarily mean I climbed at burbage
Different jobs jasper  ;)
