Maybe, maybe not. It would depend on a variety of factors including the activities you do, your age, etc. Maybe athletes need more collagen compared to people who don’t exercise, etc, etc. Also complete protein sources are definitely not easy to get. Good luck if you have dietary constraints.

Quinoa is a complete protein, containing all amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own, and is gluten free.

You need to eat a ton of quinoa. Only the most dedicated vegan bodybuilder will eat that much quinoa. No thanks.

Also, only animal sources contain hydroxyproline amino acid in significant amounts, which you pretty much only get from collagen sources.

So while quinoa and other like even whey might advertise themselves as complete protein sources, no, they do not contain all the amino acids humans can use in significant amounts.

>"Why not take up cycling?" I was a cycling maniac for some time. It fucks one up (knees, back, elbows) anyways. After 10 years of that I cut it down to occasional pleasure rides. Luckily all my pains had stopped after a couple of years.

it is mostly poor fit that fucks one up but sadly very few bike shops offer decent fit/positionning before and after sale service.

>"it is mostly poor fit that fucks one up"

This what they all say to sell "custom fit" services. I now how to fit and have access to pro level fit rig.

A poorly adjusted cleat is absolute hell on the knee. It can be difficult to fix too as once your knee is sore it takes ages to come right so it’s not clear if adjusting the cleat is working.

Most people don't need clipless pedals and only do that to mimick pros or because they were told to by other cyclists. This is stupid (saying that as an ex elite road, track and cyclocross racer).

I used both and do not see much difference in efficiency. clipless do feel somewhat nicer but that was just a habit. Do not use those any more

Where have you been able to find ultralight springs available to consumers? I was looking into this last week and the 10-20g ones were only available straight from the factory in South Korea with shipping costing $200... I was happy to get them and swap them out, but that shipping pricetag was too much of a highway robbery. Would appreciate any advice here :) And, intrigued about the idea of not using key switches at…

Here is an interesting discussion about low-weight springs old.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/ojk0em/experiences\_with\_very\_low\_weight\_8\_to\_25g\_spring/. It has a link to rndkbd.com /products /sprit-springs?variant=43822770782442, where I purchased my springs. They have a full range starting from 12g, but they are currently out of stock. You can ask about the next restock on their Discord server. One…

Thanks for sharing all that, appreciated. I had looked at that particular store last month and they were sold out of the lighter springs, but I'll check with them again to see if that's changing. And great point around switches being stuck with the lighter springs, definitely something I'll have to watch out for if I ever get that far.

I've also enjoyed Topre switches in the past, I remember those feeling pretty light as well, although I can't quite recall how my injured joints worked with them, that was in the healthy days.

Vegan bodybuilders would just use pea/rice protein extracts, which are about as commercially available as whey (very).

Hydroxyproline isn't essential though, humans can produce their need from collagen, which they also produce as well as most other animals.

> You need to eat a ton of quinoa

Most don't: at 4.4% protein, a 65kg man like me needs 1.5kg of cooked quinoa per day and it's not a big deal:

- You'll digest it like a king: quinoa is full of soluble and insoluble fibers and you won't feel puffy for eating too much. Easy in, easy out.

- Like milk or wheat, there's many transformations possible like flour, flakes, marinades, beverages, soups... alway a joy to cook and eat, no boredom with that grain.

Can't speak for the bodybuilders though but I'm sure most manage they nutrition. I think soy/pea is more popular.

By the way, very few eats only quinoa or any other single aliment. They also get amino acids from grains, pulses and seeds... even fruits like tomatoes but it's obviously negligible.

Quinoa is also fulled with minerals, vitamins and it's proteins have the same biological value (BV) as beef - or more depending on the source.

What happened to you? Might anything you have learned help me? Recommended reading? I too have a shoulder tendon issue: 14 months ago a loud one-time "pop" occurred while doing a simple external rotation shoulder exercise with very light weight. I immediately lost most strength lhs and the shoulder felt very loose. More than a year later + 1 steroid shot my shoulder is much better but still loose.

It's complicated, rotator cuff tear combined with a bunch of rib, shoulder and neck injuries. I never properly healed them, just rest, career in tennis ended after trying to rest and heal 3 times over 8 years. YouTube and Physical Therapy combined with the UC David protocol has brought back more strength and mobility than I've ever had. My main issue I had before was I kept pushing my injury too hard without proper r…

Thank you! I searched for "UC Davis protocol for shoulder" and found Dr. Keith Baars at UC Davis and his research on tendons:

[Tim Ferriss podcast re Baars' work at

https://tim.blog/2025/02/27/dr-keith-baar-transcript/

and "dastratman" has produced an excellent summary of Baars' and Ferriss' discussions:

I searched your old HN posts and found that you've explained this before to HN denizens! Thank you, thank you so much!

FWIW I've never been able to throw w/o shoulder pain and, now that you mention it, I may make it my goal to build up to that!

I've torn mine as well and am yet to get it repaired. Did you get surgery? Anything working for you?

I got surgery about 8 years ago, after 10 years of on/off knee pain that I ignored. I had locking in the knee so I needed to so something so I could walk. Surgery was fine, they opened me up and my meniscus was all stringy as if you cracked an egg in boiling water, so no fixing it and they cut off 50% of my meniscus. I recovered quite easily, stupidly did not do any formal physio but proceeded to do mostly moderately…
