re: body fascism. As I’ve dealt with tendonitis this past year, I’ve adapted and adopted unconventional movements and uses on machines to mitigate flair ups. And I’ve noticed some of the younger regulars in the gym starting to copy them as well. When I was starting out, I’d look to the older guys and think they must have experience. They know what they’re doing. The idea that I might be that guy is, for one, making me feel old beyond my age. Secondly, makes me think the older guys from my youth were also winging it and maybe nobody actually knows what’s going on.

Make sure you hover around the younger people and ask if they need advice at all possible times, especially the ones who have headphones in

On it. Sadly the gym doesn’t have saunas or a large shower area where I can walk around naked save for knee high socks.
