As always, an absolute delight. Especially poignant as I continue to wrestle with feeling physically limited with this giant (precious) alien hanging onto my midsection. Becoming stronger is such a joy filled and empowering experience. I’m glad you’re feeling good with your newly strengthened glutes!!
My strength-training motivation has fallen off in the face of various life stressors; reading this lit a fire under me. It was the perfect reminder of why I got started in the first place. What an incredible essay!
Weak glutes lmao! I can't believe the gall of these strangers!! But I too was once in the weak glutes club and have grown to love weightlifting for reasons you so perceptively articulated.
Going to the gym weekly has taught me people have become separated from their bodies. They are no longer whole. I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to their suburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eat badly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild; they become motivated by that which will eventually give them a massive stroke. They need the strong mind.

“I don’t want to be small; I want to be strong.” 💪

Fantastic essay. An even better lesson. Strong and mobile is my goal and that's not "nothing." 💪
I loved this so much, Lane. And I’m glad you found Casey. I’ve heard nothing but great things about her and her program.

From one strong gal to another, I salute you! 🫡
hilarious and intelligent, but RIP my lil gym bro and his "little" weights.
I won’t be satisfied until I make him cry
