Wing Loading.. I guess I don't have to downsize....

Recommended Posts

Man... Been going to the gym 3-5 days a week since the WFFC. Hadn't gained a pound until 4 weeks ago. I went from 155 to 164 butt naked:$.. Holy crapola.. Started taking protein a month and a half ago so maybe that helped..

The wing loading is going up and I didn't have to downsize.. Cool!! ;)

Winter fat. If you are diligent about working out and aren't opposed to taking concentrated supplements, look into creatine - I use the liquid form. More muscle, less fat, but you shouldn't take it unless you are committed to your workout program.

Anyway, just wanted to comment on wing loading - you have a very good point that people often forget. Gaining/losing weight affects your wingloading the same as changing your canopy size. I'm 10 pounds heavier now than I normally am, and that has made an impact on my canopy performance. Fortunately, the colder (and denser) air of the winter does offset that to some degree (I think), plus I have a fairly large canopy (190), so the changes aren't drastic. But just the 5 pounds that people often gain or lose between weekends makes a difference.

i bust my ass in the gym 5 days a week, ride my mountain bike 15 miles a day, my road bike 200 miles a month i eat "healthy choice" pre-portioned meals, (2000 calorie a day diet) don't drink and my weight is up from 240 to 250, i don't get it. i take xenedrine and drink met-rx mixed with powdered ripped fuel each and every morning. everybody's metabolism is different, and the older you get, the more you have to train to stay fit as possible.

right there with you, I have had stomach problems for quite some time now. My Dr finally fixed that, in the past 2 weeks I have gained 12 lbs. now I am up to 152 (I'm 6 ft 5in, so still severly underweight)
looking forward to this weekend and getting my fat ass up in the air!!!!;)
