I am a rock climber. I started climbing when I was about eight years old. I stopped climbing in my sophomore year of high school, took a long break, and began again two summers after graduating. That is, about six months ago. I go to the gym about four or five days a week and I train very hard. I have improved a good amount since then. Like most climbers though, I would like to be better. I look at my fitness and it is very good. I bike to work, climb most days of the week, eat healthfully and generally take care of myself. However, there is one specific area I want to address in which I could improve. This is my body composition. I want to be logical about this. A climber's performance is based in three areas: skill & technique, strength & power, weight. Now, for the level in which I am currently climbing V3-4 (V5 at the gym I previously climbed at) I believe that my skill is very good. I have a solid knowledge in the physics of climbing because I grew up on the wall. On the contrary, my body composition is much weaker for my level. Body composition is the proportion of fat and fat-free mass that make up one's weight. It is hard for me to write about this particular matter because I am afraid of causing alarm. There is reason for those who care about me to be concerned when I propose that would like to lower my body mass. History often repeats itself. I have to be honest otherwise, my risk is only heightened. So, I will be careful. I think, though, that my chances of doing this while improving (not compromising) my heath are good. I'm five years old then I was when I had anorexia. I've grown physically, intellectually, and emotionally. I'll keep you updated on both my plans and progress.
