Yeah, I just got off a cycle of Anavar and D-Bol. I am thinking of starting one of Winstrol and Deca soon. Any recommendations on dosage?
I went from a bumbly 5.6 climber before the cycle to onsighting Lucille (Vedauwoo) in October. I am thinking of free climbing Excaliber (5.12 ow on El Cap) in the spring.
TRADitionally yours,

Me too, me too!! Not allowed to MTB right now (shoulder surgery) so I just got a road bike. Love it. It's totally different, fast, smooth. And it's a good workout.
Training for my first century in March - Solvang - anyone else doing that?
120 miles this weekend. I love California.

I actually started climbing as training/rehab for a motocross injury. I still have a plate and 7 screws below my knee over a year later. But I love climbing so much I haven't raced since (I was told by the doctor not to do any sports at all - screw him) as i dont want to risk injury that would prevent me climbing. Even with my bad knee (I limp when i walk even) - i still enjoy climbing 3 days a week and can climb 5.11. Climbing rules.

I still train for road and MTB, still doing tri's and XTerra's. I like road riding for cardio but mostly it's great therapy, better'n a shrink. On the trails you got to pay attention or you pay the price!

I use to cycle all the time, but because of work I cannot maintain the training level I once did, so I have gained 30 lbs and just climb now. I was serious about racing which took up all of my time in college and left room for almost nothing else. I hope to get back on my road bike this spring and shed a few pounds while sitting in on a cat 3 or 4 race, but who knows. I still try to make the trip to superweek if I can each year.

I'm a new climber and have started biking to improve my general strength and endurance. yesterday I biked 20 miles to my fly fishing hole, caught a 18" Rainbow and some brookies and headed the 20 back against some strong headwinds. I had to peddle while going down a 10+ degree incline. I figure I did a tad over 50 miles and loved it, even the agonizing last 20.

Some of you guys mentioned that you find mountain biking scary. I get freeked much easer on lead than I do on a crazy steep trail on the 'SHORE'
I don't get it.
Fall all well protected sport route- Nothing happens
Fall on well protected trad route-nothing happens
Hit a tree @ 50km per hour- You broke somthing
Crash in a rock garden-You broke more stuff
Mess up a very steep dropping trail- Don't move unless the EMT tells you to.
I think I'm mixed up.
I need to climb more
Any one want to buy my Bike???

I love to Cycle. I do a little bit of mountain biking, but mostly road. It's the best to get out early in the morning just as the sun is comming up spinning down a country road. IT'S GREAT!!!

I used to cycle more than I currently do since moving two years ago and am trying to get back into it. I just trail ride...nothing fantastic...
Cycling of any kind, aerobics and crosscountry skiing (which I do sometimes) are all cross-training for climbing and help keep muscles from getting overused in just one activity(so I was told years ago)...seems to work if one is consistent at it

I mtn bike and sometimes I still pull my dusty road bike out for a ride. It is great cross training when I get tired of running on the trails. In fact before I started to climb I was a heavy biker, I used to race and I have done a century of ceturies. John

Bike to work a couple times a week 11 miles each way and longer weekend trips.
Tried mountain biking for the first time a couple three weeks a go and realized why MTBs have shocks. My hybrid doesn't...ouch!
So here is a question/plan anyone wanna bike out to JTree/Taqhuitz from L.A. and climb something and then come back. Not up to Goran Kropp standards, but my own small way of testing limits.
I am not even sure of the bike route to take from greater LA, but it would be an adventure.
later

Oh yeah, Fat tire, skinny tire, I've got one of each. I love trail running and hiking too. The real cross-training sport for climbers should be YOGA, though. I try to practice daily, and I've never found another exercise that improves my strength and flexibility better.

I still ride mtb alot. only raced them once. but was a wera and ama motorcyle racer for a few years , thats what i got too old for. i hurts when you fall off at over 100 mph, climbing is a little safer.
