Massive influx of followers lately, so some notes: I’m queer, kinky, poly, and nonbinary. My family is chosen and they are my everything.

Some policy statements:
Ceasefire now. Black Lives Matter. Trans Lives Matter. ACAB. Kink belongs at Pride.

Insomnia-driven attention grab.

It’s gotta be the beard, right? I think it’s the most notable thing about me.

Of course. You look damned good in a jock.

I get super self conscious about video but I’m posting this one anyway cause I was encouraged to by a couple friends.

And I really got hot when I saw Janette Scott fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills.

Well, my beard has definitely gotten bigger. And I seem to be a little bit tanner. No other major changes.

A friend, working on my back last night:

“You have a lot of lat back here. Like you have 3 people’s worth of lat.”

Again, just tell us lifters how big we are and we’ll be happy.

That’s my general answer. If anything more specific, you can always message me.

It’s essential to do them with a weight that is light enough that you can do them correctly without overly engaging your traps. There is no shame in picking up a 5 or 10 pound dumbbell to do your raises with. Form matters more than weight, especially with these.

For form on these, there are tons of videos on YouTube and most of them are good. I’m not an instructor or a trainer, so I’m not really qualified to record myself doing it to show you.

The most important thing to remember is that they are small muscles and they take time to get big.

For variety you can add upright rows (barbells, dumbbells, or cables with a rope) and/or face pulls (cables with a rope). The rows will hit the side deltoids, and the pulls will hit the rear deltoids; and they’ll both hit the traps on purpose.

Fundamentals are front raises (either dumbbells or cables), lateral raises (dumbbells or cables), and one of: reverse flies (machine or cables) or bent-over flies (dumbbells). That group of three will hit all three heads of the deltoid.

First, my credentials (see photos).

Deltoids are hard to work well, and the biggest mistake people make is going really heavy. That tends to engage the traps and reduce the work the deltoids have to do.

In that case I crossed that threshold a long time ago. They’re around 22”.

I can’t get a good photo of my calves, but there’s something so ominously macro about the shadow they throw on the tub when I walk into the bathroom.

I’ve got the house to myself for a few days, and I could use one of those boys to keep me company.

It’s Jocktober. I’ve barely seen any jocks. I need to see more jocks.

Vulnerability: I am very insecure about my chest. It has always struggled with size and strength, and it responds so slowly to training compared to the rest of me. And right now I’m slowly recovering from a shoulder injury that makes it even harder. I bench less than half my deadlift and I hate it.
