  • There’s also something to be said for the strength required to constantly operate a heavy body. I used to do a lot of community dance, and it’s so, so much easier to do that at a low weight.

    Immediately post COVID, I danced for the first time in ~18 months after having gained probably 10-15 kg, and I was fucking wrecked. Since then, I’ve lost the weight, but I’m now a smoker. It’s still so much easier to dance now, and I don’t have a way to test it, but I would be surprised if I’m in better cardiovascular health now than I was then. I’m just lifting less weight with every movement.





  • Luckily, they might be too young to really remember it. One just turned three (so she may remember, unfortunately), and the other is under 18 months. I hope they weren’t watching.

    I’m generally very squeamish, but I didn’t think the video was that bad. Then it kept playing in my head while I was trying to sleep. I have no love lost for Charlie Kirk, but I hope those kids avoid the video for as long as possible.



  • My husband has a visually similar body type and has a very active job. He can do ten pull ups at a stretch, which is mind blowing to me. I’ve got a bmi of 20 and I’m pretty strong for my size (I lug around cases of drinks that weigh about half as much as I do regularly), but I’m nowhere close to a single pull up.

    Even if this guy’s not a strongman, it’s possible to look like this and still be stupid strong. Just be short and carry your fat in your belly.










  • Is this edited? He looks rough, even compared to just a few months ago. His job would still be stressful, but probably much less so if he were doing a good job. Pretty ironic that he’s harming his own health through his stances on healthcare while incorrectly attributing the poor health of the Americans to their own stances toward healthcare.
