hey lads
Just a quicky on performance enhancing protein/creatine/L-carnitine/etc for use with your work out. I was a state/national level cyclist as a sprinter on the velodrome (hence im a boulderer) and was really into weights n lots of efforts to improve muscle size, strength, n power, aswell as alittle endurance and good recovery so i was right into the whey protein/ creatine so i could enhance these parts of my sport. Now iv changed to a new great sport about 2.5 months ago and i really love it. Im learning so much about the sport of bouldering and understand that to be a high level boulderer you need strength n power out of the leanest muscle you can produce and also need good endurance.
My main point is what you guys think of protein powders for lean muscle strengthening and also W.P.I. for the same aswell as improved recovery?
I already know alittle about the performance of these products due to my earlier sport but i wanted to know how they work for the sport of rockclimbing since its the totally opposite from cycling. As you want small lean strong powerfull muscles comparred to big oversized strong powerfull muscles with little endurance.
Thanks guys and sorry for the long post
