any suggestions on my diet or workout? so far it has been working well. I have seen considerable gain in strength, and moderate increase in muscle mass, although i have not been able to measure this.
i am a climber, so ideally i am increasing strength and power without drastically increasing muscle mass, but some mass increase is certainly acceptable.
thanks
