too many people see evolution as just animals becoming better animals when the truth is that theres a species of boar that evolved to die because its tusks grow into its skull because the males with long tusks fuck the most

paleo-mammalia

Yep.

And don’t forget the Irsih elk, which supposedly went extinct because its antlers were too bleeding huge for it to function, and the ladies wouldn’t bang a man if his antlers were not huge enough.

I don't know anything about ornithology but I do have some experience being a bird (was cursed by a witch for a couple of weeks) so I get it

!!!!THIS ACTUALLY HAS A REASON!!!

The most people put the water bowl next to the food bowl. This makes the water soiled from the cats point of view! Why? Because outdoors water is often contaminated if dead meat is next to it (aka an animal corpse, cat food)

If you put the water bowl next to the cat food the cat is worrying due to it’s instincts that the water could poison it.

That’s the reason why cats often prefered water that’s far away from the food source. Even toilet water seems cleaner and less dangerous for them!

Solution? In our home the water bowl is in another room. While the food bowl is in the kitchen, the water is in the bed room. Since we changed that our cats are drinking much more water and seemed even healtheir because of that!

@j-and-theflash maybe this is why our kitties insist on our cups?

I keep the cat’s water in the same room but on a different wall and our cat is fine with that distance. She rarely drank water before that.

huh, good to know!

We keep the water with the food, but! the water bowl is elevated. Old Man Chip doesn’t have to bend down as far (he drinks with his chin almost parallel to the top of the water, and so close to the far edge that he flicks a lot of water out of the bowl–I finally put another bowl in place to catch the water he flicks out), and, when The Floof drinks, the slurping is so loud and enthusiastic that I sometimes wonder if a pipe has broken under the sink

By the way, have you looked at the other Catsu comics? https://www.catsuthecat.com/blogs/comics

Some eaiser variations of push ups to help you build the strength to do a traditional one!

I don’t generally reblog ‘fitness’ stuff but gaddamn could I use some more arm strength.

Push-ups are my worst nightmare. I can only do 44 before I pass out on the floor.

maxxiegalaxy-deactivated2022032

“I can only do 44” hahaha omg I can’t even do one.

o-lascaux-o

yes good

I was always frustrated how my P.E. teachers wanted all of us to go “all-or-none” and basically hurt ourselves without letting us build up from square-one like in the first gif. Then they’d fuckin yell at us for not doing it right >:|

Knee-pushups is not square-one.

arkilliandragon

When I got my first personal trainer, she had me doing push ups almost standing upright in the weight lifting bars so that I could do 15 reps and 3 sets of them. It’s more about the technique of the push up, and if you’re pushing too much weight, you can’t exersize the correct muscles within their tolerances. This post is pretty important tto know cause of that.

I was introduced to the knee push-up last year and it was such a fucking game changer. I had NO idea it was possible to work those same muscles just with a slight variation in position.

personal-scientist

I wanna just verify that these are excellent for building strength, both as someone who took weights class in high school with a good teacher, and as someone who’s had a lifetime of physical therapy (not for my arms specifically, but I’ve spent a lot of time in sports medicine centers). And again, if the vertical one in the first gif is difficult, you don’t even have to lean into it like that. Start standing, and only lean as much as it takes you to lower towards the wall.

And remember, many exercises can be modified in this way! I did an image search for “modified pull up” and got exactly what I was looking for right away, which is this:

Doing pull ups on a lower bar, or from the straps with handles that gyms sometimes have (called the TRX - they can also be used to support yourself during squats and some balance exercises) is a lot easier than jumping straight into vertical pullups, and lets you build up that muscle with exercises that are still comfortable and safe for you, so you can do more sets of more reps.

As a general rule, always start with lower-strain exercises and practice good form before you work your way up. You don’t want to have to unlearn bad habits that could lead to injury later as the difficulty increases.

@imfemalewarrior I’m assuming you’ve seen this post but in case you haven’t—it seems like your kind of thing

Here are push up and pull up progressions!

Because I have serious issues with core strength and cannot do a sit up or a crunch without using muscles I shouldn’t and hurting myself, I looked up core exercises for beginners (because modified sit ups just have me ways to make it harder), and here’s what I found.
