Hey folks!

Been a while, huh?

Once again, I'm back after yet another hiatus and this time it's thanks to the provocation of a long time follower (we’ll call her “J” for now) who contacted me tonight.

I've been away for a while due to a combination of the usual: life, work, health, depression, etc. We'll throw some impostor syndrome in there for good measure too. That's why I don't feel confident giving out tips when I'm no longer lifting myself. I can't lift anymore (and probably never will again) and that makes me feel unqualified.

But according to J:

"Lifting is not a requirement for uplifting. Spirit is its own weight."

Ok, ok, ok. So, that's some motivation there.

So, back to things as usual?

Nope, not so fast.

Some discussion with J on what to offer this time led to this suggestion:

“Well, if I may, I think the bubblegum font and the fat ass for a background was excellent branding. Maybe consider switching back? Also, post more photos/ Instagram posts from women lifting. Visual inspiration is everything. That's what initially attracted me to the page.”

Some further discussion about goals and content:

“You just have to go back to the basics: a page that celebrates the thickness and distributes helpful info on how to get there.

If you go back to posting women who can crush skulls with their legs and give pro tips for building curves-- your page will re-attract the traffic. Put BTS on hold for a bit.“

Thicker & Thicker 2.0

Ok. So, what to focus on?

“I can suggest stuff for sure. My top 3 for now would be: 1. More ass - with IG posts 2. Butt-building advice: nutrition and exercise 3. Encouragement, via funny posts and feminism”

I had some apprehension since I’ve complained about “booty building” as a problematic focus in women’s fitness before.

“Focus primarily on legs and ass, but encourage general thickness.”

Strength is a given here always and thickness too but this time we’re focusing on helping you get the biggest legs and the fattest ass to boot.

“Objectification is sexualizing the female form. Celebration is encouraging the female form. And what could be more encouraging than defying the narrative about women who lift?

Objectification is not the goal here. Celebration is.

Unrepentant women gaining strength and size is our goal.

“You're not posting butts for petty boners. You're posting butts for patriarchal demolition.”

Yeah. Yeah. This is the sort of praxis I can get behind.

What’s our manifesto/theme that best defines us this time?

“It should just be the tagline: Big Legs, Big Weights and BIG FAT ASSES.“

So, Thicker & Thicker is back for you. Whether you’re just looking to bench press a bear or grow the fattest ass you can get...or both...myself and J hope to lend some support.

If you’ve contacted me but didn’t hear back, do contact me again.

Feel free to ask questions.

Keep up dialogue.

Motivate us to motivate you.

One of those leg days when you go through the five stages of grief in relation to the possibility of puking 🤮. Didn’t yak, but certainly unbothered by the end • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #bodybuilding #powerlifting #gym #motivation #squat #bench #deadlift #coffee #fitness #health #transformation #gymlife #iifym #food #fitspo #liftspo #cookies #flex #jordans #sneakers #philadelphia #alphaclothing #wellness #fall https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7VC_RAgTB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=606l9ln9kfcn

If someone is taking the time to teach you something, you should actually try.

I had a couple friends ask me to show them my workout routine. They moaned and griped about EVERYTHING. Of COURSE it’s a hard workout. I don’t go to the gym to hang out.  Then, halfway through, they both lied down on the floor and gave up. I get that it wasn’t the fun easy time you expected (I don’t know why you expected that, but whatever) but I took a lot of time out of my schedule and I was patient and I took the time to teach proper form and everything, so you should at least try.

Be considerate. If you ask someone to teach you something, actually try. Why would you ask if you didn’t want to learn anything?

RPE>9000 😅 No, not really, but I went up to 325 because I was too lazy with changing out my weights, and that shit worked my grip. First rep ain’t pretty; have to work on the tension on rep one • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #bodybuilding #powerlifting #gym #motivation #squats #bench #deadlift #coffee #fitness #health #transformation #gymlife #iifym #food #fitspo #liftspo #cookies #yearofthedog #tokyo #japan #jordans #arnold2018 #sneakers #philadelphia #alphaclothing (at City Fitness Fishtown)

305 for Eight sets of doubles. First time squatting over three in a while, and well it’s either time for a massage, a deload, putting more focus on recover, or option 4) all of the above • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #bodybuilding #powerlifting #gym #motivation #squats #bench #deadlift #coffee #fitness #health #transformation #gymlife #iifym #food #fitspo #liftspo #cookies #yearofthedog #tokyo #japan #jordans #arnold2018 #sneakers #philadelphia #alphaclothing (at City Fitness Fishtown)
