Climbing recovery

Wryel · 18-02-2009, 10:14

I've come to realise if I want to get any better at climbing I'm going to need to plan my recovery better. I try and get a decent amount of complex carbs beforehand and do a lot of stretches before and after but I'm sure I could do more. I understand I should consume carb/protein in the ratio of about 4:1 after climbing to help recovery which is about what you find in a lot of sports drinks/shakes. However a lot of these seem to be aimed at body builders etc and I don't want to build up an unnecessary level of muscle. What would you recommend?
