I have been trying to improve myself, bodily.
I do a routine. I enjoy it: today I interspersed sweat with reading an anti-vivisection book I was lent.
I put on weight and muscle very, very easily. I love it. A pound a day from about 20 minutes exercise. For over a week.
The thing is, it doesn't help with anything practical. I look better. I can now lift myself many times using my triceps primarily. But when I fence, I'm as stiff as a board. I'm stiff so bad, I can't do anything. My shoulder lifts my whole arm, leaving my other muscles to rot. I need more flexibility. I need someone to tell me what to do, and whip me if I don't.
The muscles are for fencing, my sport.
