- Instagram and Youtube "fitness influencers" have been doing only "booty and glutes" since about 2013. Sometime in the interim the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery got REALLY popular and there's a not insignificant number of IG types getting that done. Actual butt implants are also a thing, but definitely declasse for ladies trying to look like centaurs for the internet right now. BBL is the move for these types in large part because it looks a little bit more real. If you squat with butt implants, your butt doesn't move and you can see the outline of the implant. It looks hilarious. A BBL will move slightly more naturally. Google Paige Hathaway (you're welcome) and see if you can find pictures from about 5 years ago. She had implants, notoriously lied about it, got busted, and later had them removed.
Also, photo editing apps are unreal. I like when my IG explore page brings up these girls who have dump truck *** and zero quad/hamstring to support it and then seeing that their video posts show a mysteriously shrunken lower half. You can make your butt look absolutely enormous if you put all your weight into one hip, twist your upper body around to make your waist look smaller, and then kick your non-supporting leg back. This also stretches out the skin on the front leg/asscheek so it looks like you have no cellulite. Now you too can be an IG influencer!
- I am thankful every day I got into powerlifting where I no longer give a **** if I turn purple or have a "roll" over my belt when I brace into it instead of falling into the trap of self-obsession those influencers inevitably lead to. Did I get the lift? Sweet, don't care if I look like a bag of smashed pears. GYERO dads, not a bad idea to check into your daughter's social media follows from time to time to see who she's comparing herself to. That universe can be pretty destructive.

- I hope Joey Votto got the best stack of steroids ever and I love watching him mash right now. Joey to the moon.
- As for me and my house, #teambeard.
- Get the vax. Don't make me wear a mask, Andy. I have natural immunity and Pfizer, I'm basically the cure to covid. (kidding.)
