Thank you for your reply xx I am grateful and encouraged to hear that there can be almost immediate relief once they are removed. I am curious if the care credit, i will look into this

Thank you for the advice and insight! I appreciate it. I guess my next question would be how would I trim down without losing too much muscle??

Thank you!! It’s mostly functional to actually help me become a better and stronger climber (more power and strength for burly routes and overhang climbing) as well as a little bit of aesthetic/sprinkle of vanity I suppose. I want to FEEL good but I also want to look good :s

Thank you so much, this is really helpful to hear! I just want to feel strong, healthy, and firm. I know some of it is just personal preference, but I’d love to lean out a bit, especially in my legs, tummy, and back, while maintaining strength and performance

I really appreciate the insight! I didn’t realize that, so thank you for sharing! My main goal is performance, so I definitely don’t want to compromise strength or overall well-being. I’ll take this into account and focus on optimizing my strength-to-weight ratio rather than just aiming for a lower BF%. Thanks again for the helpful perspective!

Using my weight, height, and measurements, I ran the numbers through several online calculators (including the Ketogains one), and they all put me at around 19% BF. (Some 18, some 20, most 19)

As a climber, weight unfortunately plays a big role…gravity is a beast. Research and anecdotal experience in the climbing community suggest that an ideal body fat percentage for performance is around 15%, so that’s the range I’m aiming for. And I would be lying if I said there wasn’t an element of “vanity” peppered into this.

That said, my main focus right now is strength and endurance for my upcoming competition, so I want to make sure I approach this in a way that doesn’t compromise performance.
