Also, what Ian (and another commenter is saying) about lifting and athleticism isn’t even true. After I’d been working out for less than a year, I packed an entire moving truck up with a houseful of stuff all by myself. Took a whole day.

Before I started lifting again, I would’ve been absolutely exhausted beyond all belief if I’d attempted something like that. Instead, I filled the whole truck up and I was energized at the end. I wasn’t in the least tired. Compared to my workouts, it was cake. I could’ve packed up a few more trucks, no problem.

The next day, I wasn’t sore at all and it was like I’d done nothing. People believe the weirdest shit when they don’t like something for other reasons.

Lifting works.
