  • I’m not a professional generally, but I try to make it a point to help people I know move their stuff.

    The hardest thing I ever moved was also a piano, out of a basement with a tight stairwell. Luckily I had my gym rat brother come help us. But it still took four of us trying very hard to get that shit up the stairs. It was an old buddy I had kind of grown apart from, so I really wanted to do him a favor just to let him know that I was still a friend.

    Honestly it contributed to me now doing strength training. And now that shit has done so much for my mental and physical health.

    Again, never been a professional lifter/mover, but I’ve been on job sites about as long as I can remember and have had home improvement happening consistently with my folks.

    Drywall isn’t that heavy but it is super sucky to navigate around stairs, especially when it’s moisture-proof board.

    I didn’t watch the whole vid vis-a-vis Fieldering, but I’ve always treated this stuff as good exercise and also given it the respect it deserves for body safety. I don’t know if it was just reading the manual and safety labels from my slight autistic nature, but I internalized very early on to lift safely and preserve my back.






  • So I’ve been working out and it’s great. I have a little problem though that I am working out next to some fucking Olympian-ass women. I am trying very hard not to look at them in a disrespectful way, but like, the other day this woman was working out her back next to me and I just - it was incredible. She has the best back I’ve ever seen in person, like 2% body fat and absolutely fucking sculpted lats. Is it okay for me to look at that shit and be like “oh wow you are so strong and I hope I can get that someday?” Obviously not saying that out loud. But like when I see women just knocking out several hundred pound lifts I just have trouble not being overwhelmed and watching.









  • Yes, this is the normal behavior. I think that windows has the controller drivers by default. I think what happened is that I removed the controller from my Bluetooth and then interrupted while it was repairing and it fucked those drivers up somehow - I know it seems odd, but my device manager just doesn’t have the controller listed under any name I can identify, even with showing hidden devices. I have a lot of other peripherals so I don’t really want to go through and figure out which generic device it is now, if it’s even in there!
