\nUpside of suddenly activating these muscles is I’m finally really getting where those “walking (on slopes) tones your ass all up” tropes were coming from and as an appreciator of male physiology yes please
Like instead of that I had been carrying so much strain in the posterior muscles of my upper leg below the butt
Like that was my strength, my signature move in the dojo was a fake stumble back that set up space for a wicked spinning back kick (and discouraged regulars from trying to press a good hit too much)
There was this hill by my home I would bike up in fairly high gear by just stomping with that muscle
