Are you looking to lose a couple pounds in the hope that getting a little leaner will help you climb stronger? Aicacia Young of Climbhealthy.com and author of the E-Book Nutrition Guide just wrote an article that provides five tips to help you lose weight for climbing.

Aicacia, however, also addresses the issue of whether or not most climbers actually need to lose weight. As Aicacia points out, climbers looking to lose weight should be most concerned with trying to lose any excess fat, but only if there is excess fat to lose.

“Most climbers that I know do not need to lose any body fat, so I would highly recommend getting your body fat percentage measured before embarking on your next weight loss journey… mostly because you might not need it.”

“I’ve been very hesitant to write about that because it’s a complex topic (in my opinion) that involves multiple variables, and people tend to want blanket recommendations.”– Aicacia Young
