Ignore if you hate this topic. I avoid social media, and I'd rather rant here than the hellhole that is Twitter

Check this out if you have zero clue what I'm talking about haha.

Did bodyweight squats in front of my physical therapist, and they were good!! Super smooth, great range of motion, and zero tightness for the first few sets. This puts me on step 4 out of 5.

Gameplan my physical therapist and I made to overcome my joint issues once and for all. I'd say I'm 90% there, so here is the plan for the last 10%. Primary remaining issue is the left hip weakness causing me to shift much of my weight onto the right hip, which also causes my entire trunk/upper body to twist to compensate for the lean. This messes up my shoulder blade movement as well, leading to continuing upper body joint issues. Also, just Google these PT exercises if confused.

After almost a full decade of pain affecting my waking hours, sleep, ability to exercise, and ability to just have fun, I'm almost done!!!!

I define me being done as: Being able to exercise, sleep, stand, sit, lie down, and walk with no pain, instability, or unevenness. It's hard to put a number on a goal like this, but I'd say I'm 85% there.

Ughhhhhh why can't I be 100% done, though

Alright, so despite basically every joint having issues at first, I can minimize the major starting issues to:
- Right hip tear + instability
- Left hip tear + instability
- Left shoulder instability
- Right shoulder instability

The two bolded ones were the biggest issues. As of now, I have:

- Gotten both shoulders stable, pain-free, and inflammation-free

Haven't drawn for like a month, but I had some time and was bored. So here you go... anime Twilight based on the actual MLP manga.

I was gonna draw a clothes on her (which is why there are basic lines for that), but decided not to. Hooray for laziness haha.

You have:

- Kanye "every human being has something of value they've brought to the table, especially Hitler" West

- Milo "ex-gay" Yiannopoulos on his left

- Nick "(paraphrased) We need to burn women alive like the good ol' days for them bearing false witness, worshipping minerals and being 300lbs" Fuentes on his right

Also, Nick Fuentes is 100% a closeted gay dude and needs to lose his V-card asap before he kills someone

Consider this blog a sequel to this one.

I'm FINALLY able to do full squats and deadlifts on both legs through a relatively full range of motion, no inflammation, and very minimal pain. Meaning, I can finally get a gym membership for the first time since 2014!!!!!

Over 8 fucking years haha.

Okay, how do I explain this haha?

Raise your arm up towards the sky/ceiling. Like, actually extend it as much as you can. Is it straight? If so, then congrats, it took me over 8 years to do that

Since my Elhers-Danlos affects my shoulders most of all, upper body pressing exercises are beyond difficult to progress on. Which is saying something considering my Elhers-Danlos led to a labrum tear in each of my hips lol. Training hard works on everything except pressing, leading to hilarious strength discrepancies. My shoulders, chest and triceps might be 5x weaker than they should be compared to the rest of my body. And that's not an exaggeration haha.
