Climbers in the 1000 lb club and 5.13 or higher Senders

this is sort of interesting, looking at how BMI relates to hardest grade climbed,

Findings: 

While there is a slight negative correlation it is not substantial. Of greater note is that the line of best fit in all cases lies within the ‘healthy’ 18.5-24.9 range, this suggests that maintaining a low BMI is not necessary for climbing hard.

For a 5.13 climber, the outliers are around  27 BMI

(I re-labeled the x axis since it made no sense - these are French  grades)

Which is my BMI (heavy in the caboose) and I'm a unit of a person. With a little training could I then join the 1,000lb club? Maybe. It does give us an idea on how much muscle mass one could put on, and still climb at a given level.

I do think this information is a little self-selecting though, as the numbers come from Lattice, so we're already talking about  data from/about climbers, and not just general athletes, nor power lifters who just so happen to climb. Interesting, nonetheless.

Came across this guy on Instagram. He joined the 1000lb club for the first time and sent his first 13a sport climb in the same month.
