1 year on e and I am actually SO weak now, I had to ask my dad to put some weights back on the rack for me when we went to the gym 😭
I used to be able to do 450lb leg press 5 times in a row what happened
I don’t absolutely hate myself anymore so that’s going for me :steamhappy:
i heard somewhere that its not actually only strength that makes it easier for men to open jars, but something to do with the skin. like something to do with the reason their skin is rougher gives them more grippy hands, so they actually just need less physical strength than a woman to open a jar. that would mean even if a man and a woman had the same grip strength and hand size/shape, there would be a jar that the man could open but the woman could not.
It’s the lack of moisture on one’s skin. I suddenly started dropping things a week into HRT, before anything major could’ve changed. I realized it was because my hands were much drier and therefore less sticky. It’s why wetting your hands a bit can help you open thin plastic bags.
I’m a cis dude with dainty little white piano player hands
pls don’t make me open ur beer, i will bleed
lol as a piano player I feel like my hands get quite a bit of exercise
And in general piano players are known for having quite large hands (although that’s by no means universal) it really makes some things quite a lot easier. I think it also trains you to stretch your handspan more than non-piano-players can with equivalently sized hands, although I’m sure that won’t help you open a beer ofc.
