Let's Be Workout Freaks Together

Well, a little rest here and there is good, too :) Muscles build mostly during resting.

EDIT: And feeling powerful, yeah, I know what you mean! I am so tired of my tiny little stick-like arms. I want to look like I can defend myself. Fit and active and rrrroarrrr! :D

Haha, I have been working out for ages and I STILL have no arm strength. It turns out that this is (mostly) not my fault! I am hyper mobile, which means my ligaments feel pretty casual about keeping my bones in the right places. That is why I am so flexible, but it also means that my muscles are angry all the time because they have to do the job of my ligaments.

Gross fact: My radius and ulna are not properly joined in one of my arms, so some times, when I am using that arm, they get crossed in my arm and then when I straighten it, they snap back into place with a sickening crack. EEEWWW!!!

Ouch, that sounds painful O.o

It is, though to be honest, I think it is worse for the people who see it happen. ;)
