hey ladies

are there any women in the 80-90kg range with wide hips/heavy legs who can actually do pull-ups? I feel like the only women I see online who can do them are naturally very slim in the lower body

I carry so much of my bodyweight in my lower body after training squats and deadlifts, and although I’ve been working on pull-ups for 12 months now, I still can’t get one unassisted.

It feels impossible, because I get heavier the more I train heavy squats and deadlifts…

feeling quite disappointed after yet another week of inverted rows, assisted pull-ups and barbell bent rows, but still no success!

Would appreciate advice especially from women with a similar weight distribution to me (5’6”/168cm, 86kg with wide hips)

Hi friends,

I am writing a bossa nova and want to use this poem as the text. I want to check whether it’s Brazilian Portuguese

Is there anyone who can send me a recording of themselves reading it? I don't trust the pronunciation from Google Translate…

Rainer Maria Rilke, Os Sonetos a Orfeu #19
transl. Vasco Graça Moura

Mude embora o mundo
como as nuvens depressa,
a perfeição regressa
a um antes profundo.

Sobre ir e mudar,
vasto e livre dura
teu ante-cantar,
deus da lira pura.

Ignoradas dores,
amar sem saber quanto,
distâncias maiores

que a morte não quebra.
Sobre a terra o canto
santifica e celebra.
