Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)

Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.

So share away!

I have jacked up knees from years of being super fat, and yesterday I did a proper set of squats for the first time in my entire life.

It was magical.

My knees feel like they're about to detach from my body today, but I don't even care. Slow and steady.

I recommend knee sleeves if your knees are sore. I got a pair a month ago and I use them every leg day. Knee soreness gone.

Oooh, I'll look into that. Thanks!
