Who has experience with it? Any noticeable finger strength loss, compared to seasons were you didn't loos weight or re-gained weight during the rest phase?
Obviously it's not ideal, as the climbing muscles (forearms esp.) don't get trained during the rest phase. But, partly due to the weather and the added time I've been doing little but stretching and I've been able to find time to try new healthy, but low calorie dishes. I've already dropped 4 lb since the end of my performance phase, 4 days ago. Although, most of that is glycogen/water storage for sure. But, it seems like it might be quite straight forward to drop another 6 lb to reach a goal weight at about BMI = 20.5
It would be great to keep that weight during the base, strength and power phase without too much dieting. I'm not planing too lose weight for performance during the next cycle (well, unless I end up finding a route that I just need to climb too badly). Keeping my weight at the current target year around (except skiing and mixed climbing season) would be much more desirable.
