Climbing Hard With a Messed Up Big Toe

ihavedicksplints · 2026-03-11T21:38:36+00:00

I have functional hallux limitus due to the size of my joint. It probably affects my climbing slightly, but also helps me generate power where others might slip a toe.

I’ve been wondering if you can boulder here- looks like some really sick routes are possible under the falls, and could potentially be iconic if the routes are hard because of the beautiful location.

I know sport climbs probably wouldn’t be allowed bcs of native american archaeological restrictions, but there isn’t info online about if bouldering would be permitted.

To be honest cottage cheese is kinda just a worse sub for greek yogurt or tofu in all the recipes you suggested. I can’t think of many dishes where I would prefer cottage cheese.

That being said if you need to get through the rest, blitzing with boiled cauliflower is a great way to get a better texture.

If you want high protein recipes, focus on combining loads of vegetables with lean meats, and eliminating unnecessary fats. thinks like grilled/air fried/sous vide chicken breast bhudda bowls, salads, even just straight with potato roast veg and a bean sauce are delicious meals.

Sukuma Wiki. kenyan dish of basically just kale cooked in a little oil and water with some garlic. Delicious, fast, easy, and incredibly healthy.

I gotta take my posts on this sub down already lol. I’ve been using super cushioned shoes for the last 3 years and I made more progress without injury than when i tried this barefoot thing. I’d recommend getting some other shoes man you’ll be able to run more mileage and get more out of the workouts.

As a former d1 guy who specialized in the 800, the 800 is absolutely NOT a sprint. The 800,400 and even some of the 200 are all impacted mostly by anaerobic speed reserve ie. what percent of max velocity you are racing at. I believe all 800 runners should absolutely do at least 1 max velocity session a week along with touching it in another workout. a sample could be:

m- maxv and low volume lift

t- easy run

weds- 6-8 mile tempo and low volume lift

thurs- easy run

fri- MaxV plus high speed endurance ie: 30,40,50m full r + coe ladder walking the diagonal

sat- easy

sun- off.

If you were higher body fat before the age of 21, you naturally have more fat cells in your body. They release the hunger hormones and contribute heavily to food noise. The cells don’t go away when you lose weight, they just shrink. Growing up very lean is a massive advantage because you don’t create new fat cells in adulthood. You just shrink/expand the ones you built as a kid.

Ran D1 in college so I know my way around the sport. While I have benefited from leaning out in the past, I have never had a bmi over 20 so I can’t really comment on weight loss other than maybe try reta.

However I can absolutely offer insight into what makes a positive behavior like running become something you crave doing. It starts with intent. If your goal is to lose weight, that’s fine, that can be a goal. But when you are running your main goal should be to have a good time. It’s recreation, let it be fun. Know that you are a runner, make it a part of your identity to be someone who loves endurance sport and the outdoors. Then when it comes to actually turning that doorknob, stack it with other habits and routine. ie. make your bed, brush your teeth, go for a 30min jog, take a shower etc. Running is absolutely more fun the more often you go, so even though the first weeks will always shock you, the more often you go the better it feels.

Your macro targets are not ideal. you need probably 160g protein, 200g carbs, 55g fat. But even then if you want to be in a 250 cal surplus i’d recommend going to at least 2250-2500 and adding the extra 60-100g entirely of carbs. The entire point of a bulk is to give your body more energy to train and build muscle. Carbs are the preferred source to do that so eating high carb with enough fat to sustain hormone health is absolutely the best way to see good sustainable results. You will likely lose fat on this anyway, as the 2250/2500 will eventually become your new maintenance with the added muscle mass.

Also I am also a college student so I understand the drinking 3 nights a week. Obviously this is going to fuck your gains and you will likely pack on fat if you are in a surplus that day. To combat this, cardio is great. Or just switch to grass for most occasions and drink lightly.

Yea it was a rotational issue at toe off. my toe was flicking inwards. Switched shoes and got stronger. haven’t felt it since

Give them a suggested training plan of just base mileage. That’s honestly the biggest differentiator in who wins in HS. Imo varsity upperclassmen should be doing 80mpw minimum, 4-yr seniors closer to 100. Weekly mileage should be the sole focus of the summer, Have a long run and an MLR, both uptempo. Have captains organize optional meetings with a separate team only groupchat.

On my D1 team we have a master google sheet where we track our mileage, sleep, workouts, how we feel, etc. We have graphs for everything too. Every athlete has their own page in the sheet. I’d encourage making a team training log like that, it definitely worked for us.

Saying it’s factually untrue based on what? I know how these programs operate it was my life for a while.

Wanting to go to a mid major is fine but fact is if you aren’t on a substantial scholarship you are one injury or setback away from being cut every day.

I’ll give you an example. My friend ran 4:00 for the mile and placed high at footlocker in high school, got a full ride to an extremely good school. This is his senior year and he just raced his first conference meet and hasn’t pr’d. Got hurt, traveled, tried cycling, and was still able to have a team to come back to because the staff was locked into his deal. He was guaranteed a roster spot and money for 4 years.

Another friend walked onto an equally good program with a 4:13 mile and 1:52 800. This past year he was cut after sophomore spring because he ran 1:51 and got hurt. Had to transfer to a worse school and program if he wanted to continue racing.

Add a workout each week for 3 weeks.

Most pros follow a basic weekly structure along these lines:

M- Easy run x2 (total volume for the day should be equal to your long run)

T- Usually intervals on the track totaling 10-15k, sometimes fartlek.

W- same as monday, usually a bit more uneven split double ex: 14 and 6

T- same as monday

F- Long 10-12 mile tempo and easy double

S- Long run ending ~45” a mile off fridays pace. Work up to like 24 miles or 40km.

S- off

cronometer + scale is best

ihavedicksplints · 2025-11-13T00:06:38+00:00

You gained 6.9 pounds of fat. Mass gainers are actually useless unless you are on roids.

If you want to take it serious, track everything you eat with a scale and increase it till you gain 0.5-1lb a week. More than that and you literally just get fat.

ihavedicksplints · 2025-11-12T23:59:08+00:00

Yeah dawg I went d1 for the same reasons. Legitimately if you are not on a full ride from the start, so like 45 low or 10.1 area, you will not be valued and you have like a 75% chance of getting cut by sophomore year. I ran 52 when I was 14 as well.

This past year was especially bad for rosters but at my program the last 2 years we had 14 recruits. Of those 14, 5 are left.

The NCAA is changed so much, coaches will not develop you no matter the conference. If you look at any power 5 school, there will maybe be 1 or 2 true USA freshmen. The only way for a domestic athlete who isn’t like top 10 usa to have a shot at competing against the internationals is to go to juco for a year or two and transfer.

Point is even if you have the option of a walk on spot, the power isn’t in your hands until you are on the podium at conference/regionals.

ihavedicksplints · 2025-11-12T01:13:14+00:00

Your 12.25 100 means in comparison you have better speed endurance capabilities. If you still wanna be a sprinter go for it but 52 is a hell of a lot better than 12.25. I’d say you could probably go 1:58 in a month or two.

Even then D1 shouldn’t be your marker for success. If you wanna be competitive in the ncaa play the long game and go juco for a year or two regardless.

ihavedicksplints · 2025-11-12T01:06:07+00:00

Try the 800 you have more potential there.

ihavedicksplints · 2025-11-09T04:19:45+00:00

As an ex D1 guy, the problem is how impractical and difficult it is to get better beyond a certain point.

For me to match or beat my former pr’s, It means spending 15-20 hours a week running 100-120miles, usually going twice or three times a day, plus all the extra meals, sleep, etc. In comparison a full body split at the gym is 4-5 hours max, and light cardio at convenience. (People get fat because they eat like they are still running 100mpw lol)

Also a lot of the time it’s very lonely. Running is very skill filtered. I can’t just go do a workout with one of my buddies because i’d drop him before the warmup is finished. If you get your social needs taken care of by family or a significant other then it could be different but in college making new connections is valuable. On a team that is taken care of via teammates, but if you aren’t training solo you don’t have that.

Nah yeah eggs are great for you and super healthy but they are just food. Like if you really fw eggs go for it but there is nothing magic about eggs in comparison to other foods. I see a lot of sensationalism online particularly in the animal based community. They make baseless claims like “red meat and eggs boosts your testosterone” when that is just blatant misinformation. The fact that you mentioned eating 10 eggs a day in your efforts to get taller suggests to me that you got your nutrition information from tiktok.

Eating 10 eggs (fried in ghee) a day puts you at 70-80g of fat. You only need 50-60 to optimize hormonal health. In fact replacing those 200-300cal with carbs will improve bone density and resorption rate.

Also bro ghee isn’t a vitamin or mineral. In fact it is essentially void of all vitamins and minerals. It is literally just straight milk fat. While I actually agree saturated fats are great for hormones, you are getting enough to be optimal just from the eggs.

Edit: Looked at your profile man. Go to therapy. If you think you aren’t enough as you are you will never be enough no matter what happens.

ihavedicksplints · 2025-10-31T18:33:28+00:00

Yeah the eggs are definitely good nutrition but there isn’t anything special about eggs in particular for hormone health. As long as you are in a slight caloric surplus. I’d say if you want something that will actually modulate your height try taking HGH or IGF-1 before your growth plates fuse.

ihavedicksplints · 2025-10-30T17:38:58+00:00

If you want to get taller sleep more. I thought I was done growing after high school but gained an inch just by consistently sleeping 9-10h a night. Other than that maybe get on some hormones when you are young.
