Actually, 9/11 didn't happen because of liberals. It happened because people like you keep fu****g up our relationship with the rest of the world.

Dude, I'll give it to her, she's got an awsome physique. Then again, most african american athletes do!

Glasgow kiss???? Yo man! Are you from the holy land as well? no...he's polish... Wanker.

Actually, studies show that ADD types 1 and 2 are shown to increase the rate of transcriptive typing synthesis. JACKASS.

You sound a lot like I did last year. When I was training nothing but endurance stuff, I found that my metabolism slowed so much that I couldn't stomach hardly ANY food while I exercised (I would actually throw up if I ate too much). Humm....... the only way to get yourself to eat more is to practice. When you begin to eat more consistantly your thyroid up reglulates your metabolic rate and this enables your digestive track to move more quikely - the food you eat is processed FASTER. Perhaps more liquid calories to start? You could make up one of those carb-protein drinks and sip that during a run? Also, I like how you said you have removed processed stuff and eat mainly raw foods. It doesn't really make any sense to me why people eat things that have ZERO metabolic use! So right on! Basically, what I've found, and from the research I've come across, is that if we replenish calories while we exercise (especially carbs) we will store more glycogen and increase protein synthesis (muscle building). In fact, losing weight isn't necessarily a good thing - we want to preserve muscle mass and burn FAT. If you eat more of your daily calories around your workouts, you'll build more muscle and burn more fat than if you starve yourself and eat later. Think about it, if we eat more while our metabolisms are revving super high from exercise, our bodies are going to use the calories to fuel all those anabolic pathways (exercise stimulates anabolic metabolism). Whereas if we don't eat around exercise and starve 1) muscle building doesn't happen, and 2) If we eat hours after exercise when metabolism has slowed, more of the calories we eat are stored as fat in preparation for the next starvation.

I don't, actually. We've had such a fantastic round of shit speak lately I thought I'd keep it rolling!

Glasgow kiss???? Yo man! Are you from the holy land as well?

Yeah, I'd definately say eat more man. If you do constant nibbles on things while you climb, by the end of the day you'd have consumed probably more calories than if you stopped for a "proper meal". I've been nibbling on dark chocolate bars, almonds, raisins, TORTILLAS (!!!!), even yohgurt in those small containers. If you eat more WHILE you exercise, especially on those long climbing days, you'll save a substantial amount of muscle mass from being catabolized - and you'll be able to go longer and harder (higher testosterone). I agree with you fully, eating a lot while you climb is REALLY, REALLY HARD. Especially when working super hard. I've found that the ability to stomach more food is also part of the training effect. Basically you have to get your body used to eating more all the time, you can't do it over night. Like we've established already, you are a very different athlete than I am, but the physiology is a constant no matter what. Now that its been nearly a year since my complete metabolic breakdown, and I've had a chance to work super hard on improving my eating habbits, when I look in the mirror I realize that I have SOOOOO much more muscle mass than I ever used to have; plus the scale says I'm 25 pounds heavier, and my body fat is still below ten percent. Basically, right now I'm more ripped than I have ever been, and its not because I've been training harder. Quite the contrary, I've been training [smarter], but mostly I've been timing my nutrition around exercise and eating A LOT. I'm just curious to see what kind of shape I can get to in the future! Oh, you said that sometimes you won't eat anything in a period of 12-16 hours? Bro, cut that out. You'll be such a better and tougher athlete if you give your body what it needs. Eat small and very often.

Well, he's into that blood and leather straps kind of thing. And he's into guys. I'm going to pass.

There is no evidence that you climb dude. If all you want to do is talk pedophile stuff, you need to go elsewhere. This is a climbing site. Cheers Bill. Maybe roadking will post some pictures of HER solo up K2? Afterall, she's the only real climber on here. I'm OK with accepting my apparent poser status! What do you guys think I could say that would irritate the king road to the point of PMing me? I'm feeling left out!

Alright Lizard Brain, you've got me started, so its YOUR fault! When we are strung out and exhausted from life's endeavors, like work, school, relationships etc... our physiological capacity for adaptation is lower than when we are well rested. Adrenal hormones get depleted more easily if we are tired, and this can lead to adrenal fatigue. Also, when we are in states of emotional and/or physical stress, testosterone (or estrogen) levels are also lower. Because the sex steroids are so crucial for lean mass maintenance, if we exercise when our bodies can't raise these hormones to the occasion we simply can't rebuild the lean mass that we just broke down, and thus we damage metabolism. This is why it is so important not to over-exercise when we are already WIPED - light stimulation is the way to go when we are drained. The other piece to this, is that training when super exhausted strains the brain centers associated with controlling all these hormones and their secretion. The hypothalamus, or master gland, can actually become "fatigued". This is where chronic overtraining (or chronic stress for that matter) becomes so damaging. Over time the release of CRH can become suppressed. This stands for corticotropin-releasing hormone, and is responsible for initiating the release of ACTH from the anterior pituitary gland. To simplify, this axis is the "backbone" of our general stress response, and if we exercise or over-stress to the point where these chemicals aren't being released in adequate quantities we begin to cause real damage to our bodies. What is interesting is that the stimulation or suppression of these feedback mechanisms are all a matter of "degree". Meaning that without exercise and stress our brains simply see no reason to raise hormone levels, and over time the tissues associated with their secretion can actually atrophy just like muscles we don't use. Yet on the other end, if we have too much stress over too much time, the same thing happens. The other important thing to know, is that we can build up this ability to withstand stress with exercise. If we don't over-do it, these glands hypertrophy to some degree and become better at what they do. So it really is ALL ABOUT BALANCE. Nutrition plays a big roll too. Simply being hungry is a form of stress, so exercising too much on an empty stomach can cause damage. What is fantastically interesting to me about nutrition, is that it is SOOOOOOOO much more than just calories and vitamins. Whenever we eat ANYTHING, it is literally a chemical message to the brain that says "we are not starving, therefore it is OK to increase metabolic rate and raise anabolic hormones" (ie. testosterone, estrogen, insulin, GH, IGF-1). What is ALSO interesting, is that when we are [starving] we operate out of different centers of the brain - frontal cortex recruitment lowers, and we fall to using brain centers associated with emotion and aggression (basically we stop thinking logically). This is where the whole idea of eating six meals per day comes in. Whenever we fall into low blood sugar levels we literally cause mild brain damage. All of this is also why severe malnutrition is such a sad thing. Just think about all the people in Africa literally consuming themselves... This turned into another rant - which I tend to do, but basically I'm saying that exercising when our bodies are already exhausted can cause some real damage to our ability to withstand stress in general. This is because stress is stress. The hypothalamus doesn't know the difference between a ten mile run and a super shitty day at the office. OVERALL MESSAGE: Don't over-do. Hopefully this helps too.

Maybe he is a serial killer, just on here for lurking purposes, trying to eyeball his next victim? Thats my vote.

Sherri, that is hot! I did some art in college with nude models, and it was a pretty weird, but cool experience. My gf (thing) does nude modeling for Western sometimes, and she wants me to do it too. WELL THEN! I don't know..........I'd probably do it. I just might be crazy enough. Oh yeah, I sort of suck at painting, but I could make you one solid color, or I could possibly do a two tone if I concentrate. What do you think, water colors, oil, or latex?

Did you get a picture?

Cool. Just checking with the whole suicidal thing. I'm 23 too, and believe me, equally as retarded (thats a compliment by the way); I see what you are saying, and I fully agree with you. My earlier post was mainly because of some close friends with stories of dead partners. One in particular, this guy "Earl" I know, he had a partner die on the north ridge of mt. Stuart years ago. He was smashed by a Volkswagen sized boulder, and Earl escaped with a dislocated shoulder. Since then, Earl has said "I've been alive twenty more years than Sam. That is a lot of life and a lot of wonderful time with my daughters..." This really struck home for me. Death is so close, and so easy to achieve, yet life takes energy and constant awareness. Because I am so young, I usually feel utterly unstoppable. Despite having had so many injuries and fall back from pushing too hard. Its the curse.

Not necessarily. What if they fed thier fatties nothing but organic lard, and organic sugar? Then the soap derived from excessive adipose accumulation would therefore be ORGANIC! Plus, whats a little growth hormone? I don't know about you guys, but those kids walking the inner city streets, standing 26 feet tall, 32,000 pounds, those are some prime basketball physiques!

My mom paints that kind of stuff.

Well thanks for being a great sport! Wait, is this really a climbing forum? HOW EXCITING!

We already have arrangements made.

OK. So, pinky, can you sound out the sentance Puuu...enhk....Haaghs.....Ae.....SuhmaghL.......Dehick?

Only when they wear yellow. Yellow is a time for prayer.

Sounds like you are into S & M..... Thats cool. I'm just going to go play with Sherri for a while. I hear she is a mean thumb wrestler.

There is no personality here. Just robotic monotonous patterns of shit speak.

"Why does it go to eleven?" "uh, cause. Eleven is one more than ten." "But the amp is the same power as a ten dial amp!" "No no, you don't get it. OUR AMP GOES TO EEEEELEVEN. So it cooler." Anyone know the movie?

Here is a picture of Pink:
