Power-assist Arm

Oh, Dear Blog,

One day I looked in the mirror and thought, "you're kind of a skinny little sucker, you should work out." That was over seven weeks ago and happily, I have been working out regularly ever since. Funny thing is, I'm still a skinny sucker. Some people are just not ever intended to be big and muscular, I don't think. Then there are people like me that just never lift heavy things -- but when they do they get places.
"A sure-fire solution," I thought, "is to just start lifting some heavy things." In light of this I started lifting heavy things even when I'm not working out.

This is all well and good until you realize that lifting heavy things out of context really has a capacity to make you look indefensibly crazy. There is no good excuse for someone walking in to find you holding a chair over your head in one arm or repeatedly lifting a guitar amp in the corner. You just don't say anything. Then you brush your teeth and go to bed.
