So, I haven't been making headcanon posts with the same frequency I used to, for the past several months. It's definitely not out of a dwindling of my love for the Yiga Clan/the Wilds Era world or a lack of ideas for things I want to write about. I actually have a whole bunch of subjects I want to talk about and have wanted to talk about for a very long time!

No, it's because of a gradually worsening issue with my back that's made it very difficult to sit at a desk for any length of time without pain. By the end of my average work day, which--you guessed it--necessarily involves sitting at a desk for considerable lengths of time (and which also most days requires sitting in a car to commute which also exacerbates the pain), sometimes only laying down with a heat pad alleviates the discomfort. And I greatly dislike trying to compose longer posts on mobile, because I struggle to type on the phone while laying on my side (so I'd have to be sitting anyway) and also because, on a sillier note, autocorrect loves to change the words I type, even if I spell them correctly, to other words. The banana boys still often go to Yoga Class, if you know what I mean. And so, that's the cause of the relative dearth of posts, and I'm sad about it because I waaaaant to share my headcanons and little stories with you guys.

But today! I finally started physical therapy for my back! So here's hoping that will help me.

...because I really want to tell you my headcanons about Hyrule's calendar before their new year begins in September. Aargh.

shout out to all the disabled people whose disability is partially or entirely their "fault." everyone who's struggling as a result of their own behavior, everyone who was disabled by events that could have been avoided if they'd made different choices, everyone who isn't actively working to make their situation "better" or more bearable. we are just as disabled and just as worthy of love and compassion as anyone else. regardless of what the able bodied people around might think. regardless of what our own minds may tell us

Shoulder Workouts

Strong, well-defined shoulders not only enhance your physique but also improve posture, stability, and overall upper-body strength. Shoulder workouts should target all three heads of the deltoid muscles: the anterior (front), lateral (side), and posterior (rear) deltoids, as well as the supporting muscles like the trapezius and rotator cuff. Below is a comprehensive shoulder workout plan that includes both compound and isolation exercises.

Warm-Up (5-10 minutes)

Start with dynamic stretches or light cardio to prepare your shoulders. Examples include arm circles, shoulder rolls, or a brisk walk.

Shoulder Workout Plan

1. Compound Exercises (Target Multiple Shoulder Heads)

Overhead Press (Dumbbell or Barbell)

Target: Anterior and lateral deltoids, triceps.

How to Do It:

Sit or stand with a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, palms facing forward.

Press the weights overhead until your arms are fully extended.

Slowly lower the weights back to shoulder height.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 8-12 reps.

Arnold Press

Target: All three deltoid heads.

How to Do It:

Hold dumbbells at shoulder height with palms facing you.

As you press the weights overhead, rotate your palms to face forward.

Reverse the motion as you lower the weights.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 8-12 reps.

2. Isolation Exercises (Target Specific Shoulder Heads)

Lateral Raises

Target: Lateral deltoids.

How to Do It:

Stand with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward.

Raise your arms out to the sides until they are at shoulder height.

Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Front Raises

Target: Anterior deltoids.

How to Do It:

Stand with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your thighs.

Raise your arms straight in front of you until they are at shoulder height.

Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Bent-Over Reverse Fly

Target: Posterior deltoids and upper back.

How to Do It:

Hinge at the hips with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other.

Raise your arms out to the sides, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

3. Functional and Stability Exercises

Face Pulls (Using a Cable or Resistance Band)

Target: Posterior deltoids and rotator cuff.

How to Do It:

Attach a rope handle to a cable machine or resistance band at eye level.

Pull the rope toward your face, keeping your elbows high and squeezing your shoulder blades together.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Upright Rows (Dumbbell or Barbell)

Target: Lateral deltoids and trapezius.

How to Do It:

Hold a dumbbell or barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart.

Pull the weight up along your body until it reaches chin height, keeping your elbows high.

Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

4. Burnout Finisher (Optional)

Shoulder Tap Planks:

Start in a high plank position.

Tap your left shoulder with your right hand, then your right shoulder with your left hand, while keeping your hips stable.

Reps/Sets: 3 sets of 30-60 seconds.

Cool Down and Stretch (5-10 minutes)

Stretch your shoulders, chest, and upper back to improve flexibility and reduce muscle soreness. Examples include:

Cross-Body Shoulder Stretch: Bring one arm across your chest and hold it with the other hand.

Overhead Tricep Stretch: Reach one arm overhead and bend the elbow, gently pulling it with the other hand.

Child’s Pose: Stretch your shoulders and upper back by reaching your arms forward on the ground.

Tips for Success

Focus on Form: Proper technique is crucial to avoid injury, especially with shoulder exercises.

Start Light: Use lighter weights to master the movements, then gradually increase the weight.

Rest Between Sets: Take 30-60 seconds of rest between sets to recover.

Incorporate Variety: Rotate exercises to target all three deltoid heads and prevent plateaus.

Pair with Full-Body Workouts: Combine shoulder workouts with exercises for other muscle groups for balanced strength.

This shoulder workout plan is effective for building strength, stability, and definition in your shoulders. Perform it 2-3 times per week, and pair it with proper nutrition and recovery for the best results!

Hey, you're being lied to about what fitness constitutes. If you can't work in an hour-long crossfit slog, but you can work in a five-minute walk, then that is still fitness. If you can't use your legs but you can do arm circles every now and again, that is still fitness. If you're moving around at work, that's still fitness. It can be intentional or incidental, but here's the best part: your body doesn't care if you're dedicating specific work-out times. It doesn't care if the "only" fitness it gets is your nine to five on your feet. It doesn't care, fitness is fitness is fitness. Some of us do it differently, but the end result is more or less similar.

If you can do any type of fitness safely, your body isn't going to care if you're doing it like an Olympic athlete or if you're just a casual.

finished reading Conclave. now I have a book hangover, have ordered the dvd and the book (I read it on Libby but I need to be able to hold this one I think) and am kind of nostalgic for when I was actually really enjoying catholicism as a teenager before I realised I was queer and all of that became complicated. anyway as you can tell I'm normal and can be trusted around good books
