Q: I hate — HATE!!! — squats. The way the bar feels on my traps, the pressure on my knees, and how my lower back tightens up makes the shit more uncomfortable than when you stumble upon your sister’s OnlyFans content and then have to pretend like you’ve never seen her get her cheeks clapped every time you’re together at a family function.
