Use it to your advantage!! Especially stuff like glute and calf raises you can do those easily without needing weights at all!

WHAT

That’s what mum said when she came with me to my class once. She didn’t touch the 10 pound barbells she brought ONCE 😂

It’s like. Great the kids seem to be having fun. Why the fuck are the adults not studying LYME DISEASE???

Could be! I have a weight lifting class every week and I use exclusively 2.5 or 5 pound weights. Trust me, it’s enough. It doesn’t feel like it, but it will be!

TLDR there’s a very prestigious high school doing very important research and these kids are doing important work that adults should be doing

So if you have two 2.5lb barbells, that will be more effective than struggling to lift 50lbs and potentially hurting yourself. I’d start with these, but without weights! You can do them easily at home www.bhf.org.uk/informations...

So to start: just start small! If you don’t have barbells pick something of a similar weight like a hardback book and do repetitions with it! Do small sets of each. Gaining muscle does not depend on HOW much weight you lift but is concussive, meaning repetitions are better

I hope you feel better soon! If you need some advice re: muscle strengthening just let me know!

The back pain is probably being exacerbated by the acid reflux but check on the muscles in your back, your body may be straining if they’re too weak!

Oh yeah absolutely

Chest yes, but lower back? Buddy I’d get checked out :(

OH HELL YEAH ENJOY!!!

The Betrayal of Cauliflower, a tragedy in three acts

I think this could have been a Me problem because it, objectively, was fine. I was adventurous and was betrayed 😭

Me: So it turns out when she’s spending three hours doing ‘posting’? She’s reading whole articles and summarizing them
Dad: I figured
Me: She won’t even make a list of all the accounts she wants to tag! They’re “all in her head”
Dad: Well you tried. I don’t for the sake of our marriage
Me: DAD
