lots of variety here:
-guy with higher T at 67 than me at 23
-guy who comes to lift 5 lbs at a time and 20 mins of stretching between sets
-man who works out in jeans and sunglasses (real thing i saw)
all of them are bettering themselves every time they step into the dojo and deserve to be celebrated.

Going to a cheap gym filled with real people from every background on their grind to be better…makes you think

(Provided culture is good). I’ve been doing CrossFit less than 6 months now and am almost always the token very confused person in class who needs a lot of form questions and hand holding. Everyone has been so nice helping me figure out where things are in the gym or how to lift the things better (legit I am this emoji now!). So it just feels great to be learning and getting stronger each time I go!

The other day, I squatted 400+ pounds for the first time, and the Asian kid deadlift behind me literally told me, “You’re awesome!” I tweeted this, but it bears repeating: people just treat you differently when they know that you can carry the weight of three art student corpses on your back no problem. Imagine having sturdy, girthy, succulent glutes and quads beneath your torso as you go about normal activities… It’s powerful. Squatting weight that could crush you is a spiritual activity. Guys, at least, as a rule, should have to do one hard physical thing every day.

I care deeply about the sanctity of the cinema house. there is also something dope about catching the last 45 minuets of a film that a: you really like and b: has a fire ending. i also have very fond memories of a friends’ fave movie popping up on the channel guide and having a great moment.

bonus points for headphones. double bonus points if its a museum you’ve been to a few times. triple bonus points if you use your old student ID to get a free ticket.
i love checking up on my favorite works like they’re my good friends. i curate the music for museum trip and i get to look at the other museum goers like they’re a part of the museum (because they are!)
