Sitting in a pub having a pint over a bowl of their kick ass chili watching Womens Gymnastics and this thought occurred to me. (hexbear.net)

When I was young (early nineties) I remember among all the other internalized queerphobia one thing even then I found very silly:

Mens Gymnastics (especially at lower levels) was always made the butt of jokes by toxic masculinity but my sister got to a point where was getting so jacked she could definitely kick my ass and she was 4 years younger and I was definitely pretty athletic from skateboarding.

Male gymnasts could very easily kick average chuds ass savagely.

TL;DR AGAB all gymnasts are Badasses. Terrifying even, if you think about it.

No need for a gym to train gymnastics. Doorframe pullup bar (or free standing) plus a set of gymnastics rings will keep you occupied for years.

(that's what I've been doing - for years. Only just started adding weight for fun)

Obviously to do tricks is a slight different story, but there's a lot of calisthenic tricks/exercise variations that have a lot of crossover.
