- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
- Bunnies are above the law
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

the simplest way to think about it is that your body is evolved to survive, which means it tries to use as few resources as it can get away with and stockpile the rest as fat to be burned if you run out of food.
Exercise is just forcing your body to realize it has to spend resources on muscles and stuff, but it'll still do the minimum it can get away with, so you gotta do exactly the things you want the body to build for.
If you just do 50 reps with 10kg you'll be able to do 50 reps with 10kg, but you probably won't be able to do half as many reps with 2x the weight, and you won't necessarily be able to do 2x the reps with half the weight.
That makes sense. It's significantly easier to do dumbbell presses after I've been hitting my simply amazing 15 pushups (hey, cut me some slack, they're hard).
The closest gym is a little far away unfortunately and I certainly won't have the motivation to go.
it's arguably more useful to train with every day objects anyway, since that's what you're gonna use your strength for normally.
