RuMR Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 You guys are all overweight and too big for climbing, IMO. I'm 5'3", 112 lbs, and it's a serious advantage for hard red-points, no matter what anyone else tells you. yeah, mebbe you are 112 lbs, but you are AT LEAST 5'4"!!!

Dru Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 if a copperhead will hold 185 lbs., then 12.5% becomes significant. I can't get fat. i try and try... I will probably end up freezing to death in the Rockies again at Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogen Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Body Mass Index calculator According to this I am bordering on "obese." SexualChocolate is barely above "underweight." I know I'm not very fat, I'm pretty muscular. I am going to stop by curves on my way to lunch and see if they will calculate my body fat with their spectro-thing. Maybe I better skip lunch...

Bogen Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Better calculator The woman at curves has a "Body Fat Analyzer" that incorporates BMI and seems to measure electrical conductivity through the body - you put an electrode in each hand. It put me at 22.1 percent body fat, which, according to her chart, is in the middle of the "overweight" category. She looked at me and laughed, saying well, I guess it isn't perfect, you're obviously in great shape! The above link seems more reasonable, as it incorporates body measurments and activity level. Also it is more reasonable because it tells me my weight is only 2 pounds off of my ideal weight, so it must be right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Frieh Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 You kids can count all the calories you want... I would argue the more you weigh (muscle not fat) the more weight you can carry on your back and still be efficient in the mtns... in addition to staying warmer. It’s like giving a 100 lb pack to a 180 lb person and a 130 lb person... the 180 lb person is going to be able to hike faster with that weight. I guess if hard trad/sport is your game cool... enjoy your wheatgrass shake. But if you're chasing alpine, mtneering, or anything that requires an approach I'd say put on all the lean muscle mass you can. Just my 2 fat ass cents.

scott_harpell Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) I'd say put on all the lean muscle mass you can. That's the ticket. What kinda B.F. are we talking about here? cause every lb of fat is another one you could be carying up the mountain in your pack.

John Frieh Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 A different approach: Person A can squat 350 lbs once (their max). Person B can squat 150 lbs once (their max). Person A can therefore do more repetitions than person b at say 50 lbs. Now imagine that 50 lbs is a pack. Person A can hike faster and longer with 50 lbs on their back than person b. The only reason I suggested lean muscle mass is that its strength without the bulk so its impact to your rock specific climbing skills will be minimal.
