159 but I need to be at 150 for cycling fitness. I hover between 160 and 165 during tri season.

Currently 170, but I should be at least 5-10 pounds lighter. 162 would be my ideal weight. Thats where I was 2 years ago in the best shape of my life.

If I got to my high school weight of 135, I'd be a climber but look like shit.

Maybe this should go elsewhere, but I heard something awhile back about some guys from Nova Scotia who wanted to ride Mont Ventoux while in France for the tour last year. They have no mountains in Nova Scotia, but lots of wind, so they planned their rides around doing 1-2 hours directly into a headwind to simulate the resistance needed to climb a mountain.
They had absolutely no problem making up Ventoux with this program. So its possible to become a good climber without any mountains, if you believe what these guys say. |

I can climb any mountain right now, and better further on. I know I could climb Ventoux now. However, I would be slow and suffer. What is hard is climbing fast. When I try to exceed ten to eleven miles per hour for an extended climbed sometimes the power ain't there. Sometimes it is. If I try to get it to 14 mph, I just don't have it. How do I gradually increase climbing wattage to attack those climbs?

Mike I know this shatters your visual of me being a fat ass, but I just came in at 184.
