Are you too fat ? 24-Feb-2011 At 10:43:49 AM Pat B

I'm only about 168cm, and 72kg and climb trad upto about 23 onsight, but I do remember John Smoothy once saying "you always climb better after a good shit". I have found this to be true, and often wonder if that is because I'm lighter. Or maybe it's because I'm less distracted? Or my physiology is not using energy on digestive puposes? Or I'm less likely to metaphorically 'shit myself'?
But seriously, I get a bit obsessive about my weight when I'm trying hard routes, and because of my body-type, I'm really not able to loose much more than a few kilos more anyway, so I recently thought I might ignore the bathroom scales for a while and see if, while using all my preferred/best training techniques, I can improve/maintain my grades, and at the end of it weigh myself and see if weight has had any effect.
