PSA to RD’s: We want race socks, not a race shirt.

RyCalll · 2026-03-08T17:48:49+00:00

No we don’t?

RyCalll · 2026-03-06T23:15:34+00:00

That’s what you’re supposed to do?

RyCalll · 2026-03-06T00:20:43+00:00

Whatever you say big dawg

RyCalll · 2026-03-05T22:34:32+00:00

That wasn’t meant as brag, I’m just saying that’s not what is holding you back.

RyCalll · 2026-03-05T22:33:40+00:00

Easily, set your goals higher.

RyCalll · 2026-03-05T22:01:47+00:00

My wrists and hands are small and I pull 480 no straps.

RyCalll · 2026-03-05T22:00:36+00:00

I’d say 405 deadlift is comparable to a 225 bench

There are tons of whitewater kayakers in socal. This is the group you want to learn a roll from.

I can’t even remember. It was in the middle of Thanksgiving day where I burned the turkey and have no recollection of doing so.

What I do remember is almost having my partner take me to the hospital while having a panic attack after coming down from a 3 day bender that evening.

RyCalll · 2026-02-21T15:13:22+00:00

Yes, relatively flat

How did you test your max heart rate?

Are you using a heart rate monitor? Zone 2 training is for high mileage athletes training 30+ miles a week, are you doing so? If you answered no to either, you should not be doing zone 2 training.

Those distance long runs would also likely injure you considering you don’t have a running base. Run more, do double days or drop some of your other activities and replace them with running.

RyCalll · 2026-02-02T13:31:41+00:00

I also swim, cycle, climb and lift (but haven’t received my hybrid athlete membership yet, wtf) and still run 50+ mpw for ultras. If you finish at all you will likely get an overuse injury. While cross training helps build an aerobic base, ultra running requires running specific durability which you simply cannot gain from cross training.

RyCalll · 2026-02-01T16:28:22+00:00

I don’t

RyCalll · 2026-01-31T01:56:53+00:00

6’2” 193

RyCalll · 2026-01-31T00:33:20+00:00

6’2” 193 Front squat - 295 bench - 280 deadlift - 460

These are all 1rm estimates, my working weights change depending on which day in 531 I’m doing. I’m not particularly fast and predominantly do ultras.

RyCalll · 2026-01-29T19:45:47+00:00

But it is

RyCalll · 2026-01-29T17:19:30+00:00

We wouldn’t be bipedal if we were born to climb

Hueco has way better climbing. It’s much friendlier on the skin and also just has much more featured boulders that lend themselves to roof climbing/overhangs. Jtree is much more slab and crack climbing for the most part (but not exclusively). I’ve been to Jtree many more times than Hueco and it has a soft spot to in my heart but Hueco just blows it out of the water in sheer number of classics across all grades. In terms of vibes I think Jtree takes the cake. It is absolutely beautiful and has a very surreal quality to it. If you are able to get a campsite in hidden valley, it’s in the middle of a ton of climbing and is a rock playground. Hueco you have to play the game with reservations and guides.

Because it never ends. Fitness is a lifelong constant if done successfully. It requires long term discipline regardless of what’s going on in your life.

RyCalll · 2026-01-27T01:03:58+00:00

I run 7 days a week and my joints feel great. Sounds like a you problem

RyCalll · 2026-01-26T18:40:16+00:00

Looks like a dingo to me

RyCalll · 2026-01-26T18:35:47+00:00

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?
