You won an all-expenses-paid trip to the Olympic games! The only catch is that you must compete in one event as the normal-person benchmark to compare with the athletes. Which event?

figure skating

speed skating

ice hockey

snowboarding

downhill skiing

ski jump

biathlon (skiing + shooting)

bobsled

luge

curling

I may not be an Olympian but I can make a decent effort in [tag]

genuine question from someone who would rather chew their arm off than go to a public gym, and also doesnt have a lot of money: how do you safely get into strength training? are there youtube channels, apps (android), etc anyone recommends that makes it approachable and don't lean into diet culture / body shaming?

also the biggest thing that keeps me from working out is that I already have joint and spinal issues and moving the wrong way can fuck up a knee or a shoulder or my spine for days. I really don't want to injure myself, and have unwittingly done so before. resources that are extremely clear on exactly how to move and offer gentler / alternative ways to move for people with limited range are vital.

[feenyxblue]

Okay, so this may not technically be strength training, but muscles are dumber than bricks and cannot tell the difference between your own bodyweight and actual weights.

So, may I recommend:

Hybrid Calisthenics

Hey everyone! My name is Hampton and my brand is Hybrid Calisthenics. You can find me by that name pretty much everywhere on social media.

He runs a YouTube channel where he goes over how to work your way up to more complex exercises (for instance, his pull-ups videos start with using a door jamb and moving your weight back and forth) so it's good for easing yourself into things.

[bundibird]

You also don't have to fork out for expensive weights and such if you don't want to/can't. Substitute with stuff you either already have at home or can get from the supermarket and build up the weight you can exercise with. 500 gram cans of butter beans then 750 gram bottles of pasta sauce. 1 litre drink bottle then your 1.5 litre milk bottle. 3 litre bulk-buy bottle of laundry detergent. Etc. One of my dogs weighs 13 kilos and I pick her up on the regular (to her delight). One weighs 16 kg and I pick him up too (to his consternation and mild disapproval). You don't have to fit out some fancy home gym before you can start strength training.

[theygender]

I second Hybrid Calisthenics, that's the program I use. It's run by one guy who's taken it upon himself to make exercising more accessible and it's completely free! Each exercise has different variations based on your ability and each variation is further divided into different levels of difficulty so you can work up to where you want to be. If you can't do a single push up for example then this program will help you work up to the point where you can, and if you're a master of push ups then there are more advanced body weight exercises you can tackle so you can keep moving forward in your training without stagnating. The routine offers a full body workout with absolutely no equipment required for the beginning levels. The only reason you would need to buy anything is if you want to work up to a full pull up, at which point you would need actual pull up rings

Here's his actual website which I feel is easier to navigate than the YouTube channel on its own and organizes things in a way that's easy to understand. He explains everything you need to know about the routine and each individual exercise has both a text description and a video tutorial

who are your parasocial enemies, like mine are andrew lloyd webber and butch hartman

[notaaronsroommate]

JD Vance. He had a similar upbringing to mine and a similar socioeconomic status in the same state. He even has the kind of greatest generation, morally stable, center of the family grandparents. Neither he nor I lived in abject poverty like he tries to imply in his book. He talks about people in Appalachia (a place he is not from, he is from Ohio) the same way a pith helmet racist whose biting his tongue talks about people in India to just barely keep himself from calling them all dirty savages. I hated that motherfucker when his book came out. He got bullied exactly as much as I did and it was fine. blowing up discarded sinks and toilets with firecrackers isn't a sign of a degenerate culture it just fucking rules and you were too much of a pussy to enjoy anything. I want to be clear, I genuinely DO NOT know jack shit about his politics as vice president, and I genuinely DID NOT know jack shit about his politics as my senator. Like, I know about his weird roman towel boy esoteric nazi pedophilia shit that he's in to, yknow, american caesar or whatever. But if you asked me to get real mad about some policies, man I don't care. I'm sure it's very bad. I PURELY hate this guy for being such a massive pussy. Oh, your moms worst crime is slapping you and getting high at work and riding around on rollerskates? That's it? That's what got you to leave her to choke on her own vomit alone in a hotel room while she's trying to get off the junk? Pussy. Awwrrr gee shucks I just dunno where the forck goes next ta the plate mr harvard man i'm such a ign'nt bumpkin!!!! you fucking sellout whore. Did your little dance for them to seem cute when they all thought you were Jed Clampett. You are from ohio, you aren't a mountain man, but besides that! People from the coasts have tried to pull that card with me before, and it doesn't work because I don't do a little toby keith tap dance to seem like a country bumpkin. I so uniquely identify with parts of his story and it's like seeing someone fail every fucking David Cage QTE button press in my life and turn into the most cruel beady eyed weasel version of my self. I didn't turn into this guy, and I didn't even make it to harvard. I hate this motherfucker so much that the universe conspired to place him in my path such that I got to piss all up the side of his senate run tour bus. He will never know who I am, but if he touched that door or the luggage rack, he touched my piss.

[football-in-tuxedos]

I can't hate political figures in that way, my rage is too pointed and important to categorize it as "Parasocial enemies" so the actual answer is:

Aaron Sorkin. Terrible writer, makes schmultzy bullshit that should embarrass literally everyone who sees it, but because he made just enough good stuff (it's literally just The Social Network) people keep giving him chances to make this stupid shit. Which would be bad enough but then he goes the extra mile and makes his stuff the worst neoliberal apologia you've ever seen. An entire generation of leftists got their brains ruined by the West Wing and I blame him.

If you can, please watch this scene and make fun of him with me, I promise you it is the cringiest thing you've ever seen in your life.

Ordered the "signature omelet" (jalapeno and feta) at a place where the waitress then confirmed "That has jalapenos, is that ok? They're spicy. And it has feta, is that ok? It's a strong flavor." Other people at my table thought it was stupid, but I was like "That is a woman who has had to take back a lot of omelets from people who didn't know that jalapenos would be spicy."
