TL, DR: Incredibly strong, athletic (and tall, young, and seemingly uninjured) climber finds he's lacking a bit in nutrition, increases his food intake a bit (if that burger and potatoes was a staple of his diet I will eat my entire collection of beanies) along with supportive supplements, trains very hard and methodically on a slightly bigger diet, and.....hold the fucking press.....increases his overall power(a lot)-to-weigh(a bit) ratio. I'd be interested to see whether there was any change in body fat percentage as I suspect almost all of that 10% bulking up was climbing-relevant muscles.
I suppose as a counter-video to anorexia athletica it might provide some inspiration :shrug:

Yeah this is the kind of thing that seems obvious when you've been in the game for a while and yet most dialogue between climbers is about weight loss to increase power-weight ratio. Good content IMO.

I think the point is that it's not a rare situation what you are describing. There are a lot of climbers who this could be beneficial for, but of course not everyone.
"I suspect almost all of that 10% bulking up was climbing-relevant muscles." - On the basis that he gained more than 5kg in around a month or 2, being already highly trained, i'd go the other way and say that less than 20% of the weight gained would have been muscle . Most likely predominantly glycogen and water retention, which is indeed still useful for strength and power.

Is there a version showing the journey of climber with no kids and flexible work around climbing to becoming ‘bulked’ up parent of 2+ kids with fulltime employment? :popcorn: :beer2:
