I was with a gym instructor boyfriend for a short while, it was gross, his body was so hard and lumpy, not cozy at all. Weird muscles on the outside of his knees like tumours

wonder if this is an effect of doing exercises for the sake of building muscle as opposed to moving things and yourself around in the world directly for object-level reasons 🤔

i try to do exercises like squats that are as compound as possible to minimize this i think. not particularly interested in building individual muscles so much as improving whole-body functional strength and coordination or whatever they call it

i have thought a bit about my actual apocalypse survival skills and i think the only thing i can even plausibly claim is some ability to mediate conflicts / facilitate difficult conversations, and it’s still mostly untested tbh

Your humility / realism in contrast to my wild visions of myself in improbable future heroics (whereas in reality i cry if i stub my toe), is probably a good thing!
