Lifting is Leisure

Added 2024-10-14 23:00:07 +0000 UTC

Alriiiight. Gotta be honest folks, I did have to produce and upload this one in a hurry; I have completed my writing + recording output for 2024 but as of writing this, I have yet to produce/upload them all. This is the first one in the "crunch", so hopefully I'm better prepped for the rest to come.

This file was actually, I believe, born out of a conversation with Avis Sapiens where he used this phrase with me to defend himself lifting on one of his rare days off. He called lifting leisure, and I kinda laughed at the time because it was so muscle-pilled of him, but it also made me think about how lifting can be reframed/enjoyed by so many in different ways.

This file therefore seeks to help YOU reframe lifting the same way. To tie the incremental progress made in each workout to an incremental experience of the pleasure, triumph, success, arousal, or whatever else you believe lies at the end of your bodybuilding journey. It will be of benefit to you if you're seeking to make lifting a habit but haven't quiiite found the momentum yet, OR if you already lift dilligently but just want to enjoy it more. It's a myth that exercise has to be a slog; and in this trance, I'm going to bust it.

(As a final bit of housekeeping, you might notice that there are two versions of this file attached at the bottom of the post, Complex and Simple. Complex is "as Jockout intends" with backing tracks and whispers, a new production element I'm including. Simple is stripped down, just my voice and a binaural/rain sounds. Let me know if you have feedback on the new backing elements.)

CONTENT WARNINGS:

Honestly if you read the description, there is nothing else to add. No real trigger work here besides very soft "you drop for my voice/finger snaps" work at the beginning of the file, and POSSIBLY "soft" trigger work with the gym/weightlifting triggering positive feelings in you.
WARNING: THIS WILL MAKE YOU HUGE?
WARNING: THIS IS GONNA BE A FUN TIME?
WARNING: BRO YOU'RE GONNA GET SO SWOLE
