Just out of curiosity...if all things being equal, how much could a person improve simply by losing weight. Is there a formula that could properly express this.
The numbers I'm working with are
6'3" my height
215 my current weight
23.4 my 50free scy time at nats last april
now my weight at nats was 215 after losing 20lbs over the season. I'm really paying attention to my diet and nutrition and trying to trim down another 10lbs.
Any thoughts???

I have lots of thoughts on this expressed elsewhere. Mostly opinion and hypotheses. I created a similar thread about this last year. Perhaps it could fill you in on what we already discussed...

Feel free to add commentary or thoughts to that thread as well.
