Lets sweat a little eh?

remember not to judge your progress based on those around you. everyone has their own challenges is life, their own strengths and weaknesses, their own story - this is yours.

ok guys concept booty shorts but instead of saying “juicy” on the ass it says “this machine kills fascists”

I finally bought stick on felt for my derby pads to replace the duct tape. Why did nobody just say “stick on felt” when I asked them what they were using? Everyone was just like “oh idk it’s this stuff idk I got it from [random shop]” then finally one of the vets saw my knee pads and said to get some stick on felt and I had a real light bulb moment. Long story short I’m a bit of a dolt but I think I’m somewhat loveable so it’s ok :D

Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.

Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.

Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.

Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE

Can comfirm, i am Quite Fat ™ but i still hit my punching bag hard enough last week make it touch the ceiling and broke a finger in the process

You know, I train with (martial arts) a bunch of dudes, and a few bodybuilders have showed up over the years. 

And every damn one of those huge shredded motherfuckers has the endurance of a fucking newborn puppy. Fifteen minutes into warmups and they’re panting for air like like they’re about to die. I’ve sparred them and every one of them telegraphs their moves about two weeks in advance, and are slower than my dead grandpa because their huge useless muscles get in the damn way. 

Now. I also work with a couple of guys who are not weightlifters. They do, however, do very physical jobs and are Big Dudes. Picture this sort of build. 

No abs to speak of, a bit of a tummy, and those motherfuckers can pick up one of the weightlifters and throw them. 

And they’re fast. Like, unfair fast. 

Bodybuilding culture is bullshit. Embrace your status as a giant barbarian and if anyone gives you crap throw them off a mountain.

Lady Trample is one of Team NZ’s best jammers and a founding member of Chicks in Bowls (and also super lovely and stunning, just watch the video already)
