Hello there!
I was wondering if I make a request for MHA, with Class 1A (and possibly Aizawa?) reacting to a Male! Reader having the quirk of an Empathic Healer?
To understand what I'm saying, Male! Reader is capable of healing people like Recovery Girl. While Recovery Girl uses the patients' stamina to heal them, therefore could only heal them a limited amount, Male! Reader's quirk can allow him to fully heal a person, potentially multiple people at once, at the cost of him taking the effects instead, using his own stamina to recover, making him become closer to dying if used to heal major injuries or too many people.
Male!Reader's personality would be someone who doesn't like to cause fighting, only attacking in order to protect someone, given his quirk makes him the medic of the Class. A bit introverted but kind towards other.
Thank you!
OMG THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING!!! Tbh i didn’t actually expect someone to request 😭 so thank you!!
i’m gonna do this in headcannon formation if you don’t mind!! it’s easier for me :)
CLASS 1A + AIZAWA REACTING TO..
MALE! READER W/ EMPATHIC HEALER QUIRK
Tumblr media
CLASS 1A:
I feel like Midoriya would probably think your quirk would be like Recovery Girls
He would probably bombard you with multiple questions about your quirk
“How many people can you heal at once?” “Does it hurt you?” “Do you use stamina to heal?”
Since Midoriya gets hurt a lot, you’ll be very useful for him!!
Mina named you Recovery Boy (named after Recovery Girl) and now everyone just calls you that
Uraraka thinks your quirk is very cool and bcuz of that she really likes to compliment you anytime you use your quirk
Denki, Kirishima, and Sero thinks that your quirk is very manly!!
Bakugo comes to you whenever he accidentally burns himself with his quirk, but he threatens you to never share that with anyone LOL
One time Todoroki accidentally cut his finger trying to cut vegetables and he came over to you and shyly asks if you could heal it for him!!
During the sports festival, since lots of people got hurt during the competition, Recovery Girl asked you to help her with healing people
Sometimes you help out in the nurses office if too many people get hurt or wounded
Mr. Aizawa is very nice to you (mostly because your quiet and don’t talk much)
He always gives you words of encouragement and is overall very kind and compassionate toward you!! (you’re his favorite student)
Jirou thinks your quirk is awesome and because of that she always partners up with you during any activity you guys have with the class
Everyone is friends with you because they think your quirk is very useful and you’re also really kind!!
Denki and Mineta always come up to you to ask you dumb questions like
“What type of girl are you into? Or are you into dudes?” “Doesn’t she look so good?” “Do you think he looks good?”
They only ask you that because you don’t talk much and they want to figure out what your type is 😭
they probably made a bet to see who can make you share your type with them first
Short story!!:
“Alright class, settle down now!” Mr. Aizawa yelled, it was right after lunch, so the class was more talkative then usual. “Everyone put on your gym training uniforms and meet me in the second gym.” Aizawa said lazily as he started walking out of the room and heading towards the second gym. Everyone got their uniforms on and made their way to the gym. “Today, we’ll be practicing enhancing our quirks, that can also mean using your quirk for an extended amount of time, creating new moves, etc. So get a move on people!” Mr. Aizawa yelled. Everyone went off on their own and some paired up. Since you where more stronger in the healing department than the fighting department, you decided it would be best to find ways to protect yourself. You started off try to think of ways that you could potentially defend yourself, until you heard someone call your name. “(M/n)! (M/n)!” You turned your head to find Uraraka calling you over to where her and Midoriya were. Midoriya looked badly injured, his hands where turing purple and it looked broken, you guessed it was because he overused his quirk again. You walked over to them, sighing, you say “Midoriya, it’s not good for you to overuse your quirk. You should try calming down a bit.” Midoriya looked away embarrassed. You put your hands on top of his, your hands started glowing and Midoriya’s hands were slowly turning back to normal. “Woah! I keep forgetting how cool your quirk is!” Midoriya says. “It’s so awesome, isn’t it?” Uraraka exclaims. “Thanks guys..” You say embarrassed. After that, you could finally work on ways to protect yourself.
Tumblr media
Sorry if this is a bit short!! It’s my first time writing something, I will keep practicing writing tho!! I hope you like it, and i’m sorry if i took too long!! My family invited me to a party yesterday and i couldn’t finish it in time!!

History TLDR: She was orphaned as an infant and shipped off to a Japanese orphanage where the Machi family adopted her. Her adoptive mother died when she was young and she has little memories of her. Her adoptive father began drinking heavily, blaming Shizune for his wifes death and eventually beheading both her and the family dog. Muzan then appeared, instilling demon blood into her headless corpse and because the blood from the dog head mixed with hers on the floor, the demon blood infused into the dog head, making it demonic and her new head. She arose which scared her father and he ran out screaming about a demon. Gyomei who was in the area, heard the screaming and went to investigate. Finding Shizune and the dogs headless body and her human head on the floor, Shizune as a fresh demon sobbing on the floor begging not to be killed. TLDR, he took her in his care and she followed along with the story, eventually dying while Gyomei held her disintergrating body at the final battle against Kokushibo.
Taisho Era Secrets: Shizune thinks very badly of herself but will never let anyone else to the same about themselves. Shizune curls up like an animal when she sleeps, if she sleeps near other people she will try to cuddle them

How about Incite and Copy Quirk Marriage?
Now all I can think of is Trumpet having Monoma as his own little Geten, getting him a similar suit and having him copy "Incite" to double the affect.
New Quirk Name: Investment
This Emitter type Quirk activates whenever user touches another person. When they do, the user can enhance a physical or mental aspect of that person. The user in turn gains a weaken copy of whatever they enhanced. For example, if the user granted someone greater strength, the Quirk would enhance their own strength to a lesser degree. The user can pick out what is enhanced and apply the same boost to multiple people, granting them greater abilities in turn. The amount given back to the user is dependent on the target's connection to the user, granting them greater boosts in the process that last long. This gives the user a good mix of options, enhancing themselves and their allies to fight whatever may be in front of them. They can shore up or round out the weaknesses of certain allies, use the boost to improve their specific niches, surprise foes with new abilities, put themselves in fight condition, or simply make their team dominates the local sports league. Though this does rely heavily on the abilities, presence, and the trust of others to work. This can only apply to a single trait of a person at a time and there is a stamina drain on everyone involved, the user especially as they try to take on more abilities.

Pineal XT: A Supplement That Unlocked My Potential
For years, I struggled with low energy levels and a general feeling of sluggishness. It affected my work, my relationships, and overall zest for life. I tried various things to improve my well-being – from adjusting my sleep schedule to exercising more regularly – but nothing seemed to make a significant difference. Then, I came across Unlock Earnings! Promote Pineal XT! health supplements, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer.
Tumblr media
Enhanced Focus and Clarity
Prior to using Pineal XT, my mind felt foggy and scattered. It was difficult to concentrate on tasks for extended periods, and my memory felt unreliable. However, within a couple of weeks of incorporating Pineal XT into my daily routine, I noticed a significant improvement in my focus and clarity. I was able to concentrate on tasks for longer stretches, and my ability to recall information became noticeably sharper. This newfound mental clarity has been instrumental in boosting my productivity at work.
Increased Energy Levels
One of the most impactful changes I've experienced since using Pineal XT is the surge in my energy levels. That afternoon slump I used to dread has become a thing of the past. I feel energized throughout the day, allowing me to tackle my to-do list with enthusiasm and accomplish more in less time. This newfound energy has also spilled over into my personal life. I now have the stamina to engage in activities I used to find draining, like going for long walks or playing sports with friends.
Improved Sleep Quality
For years, I battled with inconsistent sleep patterns. I'd often have difficulty falling asleep or wake up feeling unrested. Thankfully, Pineal XT has addressed these issues as well. Since incorporating the supplement into my routine, I've noticed a significant improvement in the quality of my sleep. I fall asleep faster, sleep more soundly throughout the night, and wake up feeling refreshed and energized. This better sleep has undoubtedly contributed to the overall improvement in my energy levels and focus.
Natural and Safe Ingredients
One of the things I appreciate most about Pineal XT is its reliance on natural ingredients. Unlike some other supplements on the market that contain harsh chemicals or artificial additives, Pineal XT utilizes a blend of vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts that are gentle on the body yet effective in delivering results. This focus on natural ingredients gives me peace of mind knowing I'm not putting anything harmful into my bodyhttps://pxt.pinealxt.com/ds/presentation/index.php#aff=nikhillakra.
Overall Positive Experience
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Pineal XT to anyone seeking to enhance their overall well-being. This supplement has positively impacted my energy levels, focus, sleep quality, and overall sense of vitality. If you're looking for a natural way to unlock your potential and live a more fulfilling life, Pineal XT is definitely worth trying. It has certainly made a positive difference in mine!

GV | Kiko Morijunin
Tumblr media
Full Name: Kiko Morijunin
Hero Alias: Vulpine Heroine: Kyubi
Age: 19
Gender: Female (Cis)
Nationality: Japan
Occupation: Student, Hero
Affiliation: Templar University
Design Notes:
Her ears are the same color as her hair. And I know the ears are incorrect but shush
Can def see the Shingen in her design
Messy hair queen
Description
Kiko is a young adult woman of average height with fair skin, orange hair, and bright yellow eyes. Much like Trickster (Shingen Itazura), Kiko has fox features such as ears, a tail, and claws. She has a fairly skinny build with more muscle on her arms and legs due to being a volleyball player.
Personality
Kiko is a bright, upbeat woman who likes to see the sunnier side of things. Full of high confidence and positivity, she's out to make a name for herself. Her positive attitude and outlook on things is good for heroics, especially since some of her peers have become disillusioned.
Given her nature as a fox, she's very active and playful-- her favorite activity being agility. Kiko herself seems to be very sporty and enjoys volleyball a lot. It's actually the only sport she likes.
Kiko doesn't like when people say she's more well behaved than her older brother Shingen when she's just as, if not more, chaotic than him. It makes her feel separated from him.
History
Kiko was born in Shirakawa, Japan 9 years after Shingen. Because their parents were already married by the time she was born, she got the last name Morijunin.
Kiko showed a strong desire to become a Hero at a young age and this desire grew even stronger after her and Shingen were rescued by one on their way back home from running errands. Her and Shingen came up with their own superhero duo Trickster and Foxy (she later changed it to Kyubi after her mom told her it sounded cooler) for each other to play with.
The siblings made a promise to one day make that duo a reality.
Kiko never gave up on her dream as she got older and Shingen left home-- even with people telling her that she could never be a Hero because of her status as a Mutant. She practiced her Gift tirelessly until she could fully master it.
At the end of her senior year of high school, Kiko applied for Templar University and was accepted after completing their entrance exams.
Gift(s)
Primary: Yoko's Flame - Kiko's primary Gift gives her the power to produce fire that can possess people and objects as well as shapeshift. These powers are similar in nature to Trickster's Fox Fire Gift.
Secondary: Fox - Kiko has all the abilities of a fox including enhanced speed, stamina, and more.
Relationships
Family:
Mr. & Mrs. Morijunin (nee Itazura) - Parents
Shingen Itazura | Trickster - Older brother
Hisaya Itazura (nee Kaiiu) | Phantomage - Sister-in-law
Asuka Itazura - Niece

Title: "The Synergy of Physical Fitness and STEM Success: A Strategic Imperative"
Tumblr media
In the ever-evolving landscape of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and professions, the significance of physical fitness should not be underestimated. This essay explores how STEM students can proactively uphold physical fitness to not only enhance their overall well-being but also strategically influence their future success.
Maintaining physical fitness is paramount for STEM students as it goes beyond the conventional notions of health. Regular exercise has been scientifically proven to boost cognitive function, directly impacting focus, memory retention, and problem-solving abilities—critical skills in the analytical world of STEM. By incorporating physical activity into their routines, STEM students can harness the cognitive benefits that translate into academic excellence.
The demanding nature of STEM studies often leads to a sedentary lifestyle, which can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health. By prioritizing fitness, students can mitigate these risks, fostering resilience and stress management skills essential for navigating the challenges inherent in STEM disciplines. Physical well-being becomes a cornerstone for maintaining optimal productivity and creativity.
Furthermore, physical fitness plays a pivotal role in cultivating teamwork and communication skills. Participation in group activities or sports not only promotes a sense of camaraderie but also develops interpersonal skills crucial for collaborative projects in STEM. These soft skills are increasingly valued in the professional world, making fitness a holistic investment in future success.
In the long term, the positive impact of upholding physical fitness extends to a STEM professional's career trajectory. Improved physical health contributes to increased energy levels and stamina, enabling sustained focus during intense work periods. The discipline instilled by regular exercise routines transcends into other aspects of life, reinforcing a proactive and goal-oriented mindset that is particularly advantageous in STEM pursuits.
In conclusion, the integration of physical fitness into the routine of a STEM student is not just a matter of personal well-being; it is a strategic imperative. The symbiotic relationship between physical health and cognitive function positions those who prioritize fitness to not only excel academically but also thrive in the dynamic and demanding realm of STEM disciplines. Embracing physical fitness becomes a powerful tool for shaping a successful and fulfilling future in the world of STEM.

The Symbiotic Relationship Between Physical Fitness and Academic Success for STEM Students
....
As a STEM students how can you uphold physical fitness in influencing the future?
In the dynamic world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), the journey is often focused on intense mental challenges. Yet, there's a secret weapon that can greatly shape the future of STEM students: physical fitness. This essay explores how staying active can have a profound impact on academic success and overall well-being in a way that's straightforward and easy to understand.
Firstly, let's talk about the brain. Exercise is like a superhero for our brains. It makes us better at remembering things, focusing on tasks, and solving problems. When we move our bodies, it sends more blood to our brains, making it a powerhouse for handling the complexities of STEM subjects.
Now, consider the stress that comes with STEM studies – those late-night study sessions and challenging projects. Regular exercise acts as a stress-buster. It releases happy chemicals in our brains called endorphins, which make us feel good and reduce stress. This isn't just a quick fix; it sets the stage for long-term mental well-being, helping us approach our studies with a calm and clear mind.
Tumblr media
Physical fitness also gives us the energy and stamina to keep going. STEM fields demand a lot of mental effort, and being physically fit ensures we have the endurance to tackle long study sessions and tough projects. This endurance isn't just about doing well in exams; it builds resilience and determination, essential qualities for succeeding in STEM careers.
Quality sleep is like a magic potion for academic success. Exercise helps us sleep better, ensuring we wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day. Good sleep is crucial for concentration, memory, and overall brain function – all things that are super important for excelling in STEM subjects.
But it's not just about the brain. Staying active creates habits that contribute to our overall well-being. When we make time for exercise, we're more likely to make healthier food choices and stay hydrated. These habits support not only our physical health but also our mental sharpness, creating a well-rounded approach to personal development.
Effective time management is a skill every STEM student needs. Surprisingly, adding exercise to our routine can actually improve our time management. Setting aside dedicated time for physical activity helps us become more organized and disciplined, making our study sessions more efficient.
Tumblr media
Lastly, let's talk about friends. STEM can sometimes feel like a solo journey, but physical fitness can change that. Joining sports or fitness activities is a great way to make friends. Having a supportive group can make the STEM journey more enjoyable and provide a network to lean on during tough times.
Tumblr media
Staying active isn't just about fitness; it's a secret ingredient for success in STEM and beyond. It helps our brains work better, manages stress, boosts energy, improves sleep, creates healthy habits, enhances time management, and fosters friendships. By embracing a simple routine of physical fitness, STEM students are not just investing in their grades – they're investing in a brighter, healthier, and more fulfilling future.

In defense of drag:
Drag is an incredibly important art form, as are all subversive forms of expression. However, this is especially important to a historically marginalized community of which I am a part, and I will not stand silently by as it is needlessly targeted and regulated by fear-based ideology.
Dolly Parton is Drag. Liberace, Eddie Izzard, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Harry Styles and soooo many other cultural icons have played with society’s boundaries of gender expression with impunity due to some other asset they’ve offered or privilege they’ve been afforded.
Your local drag performer is no different. Neither is the 12 year old who secretly plays dress up with their sister’s clothes, or longs to express themselves in their own unique way. Their freedom to follow that impulse is just as important to the culture at large. The damage that is done by sending a message that their self-expression is harmful, unwelcome or indecent is far greater than attending a drag story time or being exposed to the art form in mainstream culture.
I’ll admit that I was once turned off by drag because of the discomfort it espoused. It was initially unsettling seeing men subvert the societal box imposed upon them. It seemed dirty and vulgar, and I wanted nothing to do with it. It evoked the shameful feelings of internalized homophobia that I felt as a child when I overheard my parents being chastised for letting me play with dolls or take ballet.
The very sight of it made the toxic masculinity that had been insidiously pressed upon me my entire life bubble up from my gut in a suffocating pall. I’m not ashamed to admit that I once felt that way so others who still feel that discomfort know that it’s okay to feel it at first - that’s sort of the point.
I’m eternally grateful that I had a dear friend basically force me to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race from the beginning, and to say it changed my life is an understatement.
It enriched it.
Becoming a patron of drag not only broadened my worldview but also enhanced my sense of humor, beauty, and whimsy. There is nothing like the awe-inspiring experience of seeing an exquisite drag performer like Violet Chachki up close and personal, or literally rolling on the floor in uncontrollable laughter from the brilliant comedic offerings of Jinkx Monsoon or Bianca Del Rio.
Drag fearlessly and fabulously plays with the foibles of this unruly thing we call society. In the words of the infinitely wise RuPaul Charles, it engages the “tenacity of the human spirit”.
I’m no longer ashamed to admit that I was that 12 yr old boy who made dresses out of blankets and strutted the imaginary runway in his bedroom. There was absolutely nothing sexual or pathological or perverted about it - it was innocent and pure self-expression. It’s also important to note that these harmless impulses arose naturally, not due to any exposure. It wasn’t until much later that I learned about the drag community. How much easier my adolescent years would have been if I could have seen society validate that, even in the smallest way. I no longer find it dirty or twisted or wrong.
All I can see now is courage and truth.
For those of you traditionalists who are still clutching your theoretical pearls I will leave you with this - I simply do not enjoy or connect with the great American sport of football.
I’ve given it the ole’ college try! I’ve gone to games, had friends and family members explain it, even tried to follow fantasy leagues and betting pools in order to understand the appeal.
After thorough investigation, I can pretty confidently say that it’s just not my bag. However, I can’t stop the fact that football is simply everywhere. It’s on TV when I go out to eat, it’s the daily conversation topic of my co-workers, it’s the event that completely took over my city a few weeks ago.
I can still acknowledge and respect how important it is to some people, not to mention the Herculean athletic stamina and strategy required by its players.
That said, if I were in some alternate universe where legislation was introduced to regulate the right to have tailgate parties, middle and high school football teams, and /or publicly celebrate this fundamentally American sport, I would be in full support of appealing it. I would fight for the existence of something that is important to a large swath of society—even if I cannot understand or connect to it.
To put it simply:
**YOU DON’T HAVE TO ENJOY OR ENGAGE WITH DRAG TO SUPPORT IT**
However, denying others the right to do so or attempting to eradicate/control it in public spaces sends a very scary and pointed message to people like yours truly. It also denies the simple fact that our society is a rich tapestry made up of many vastly different interests, tastes, and communities.
These things simply MUST be allowed to be expressed freely, otherwise we start toward a very slippery slope of a society where maybe something that you love and cherish will one day be deemed unfit for the mainstream culture.
I implore you to keep an open mind, and listen to those who are speaking up about this.
We are good, we are valid, we are important. So much of the culture you enjoy originated in queer/marginalized communities. Please allow us our freedom to keep creating - I can assure you that you would not like to live in a world without it.

Get EECP Therapy Benefits to Athletes by Soulaire’s Powerful Sport Enhancement Technology
EECP, a non-invasive technology has been shown to have several benefits for athletes, including the removal of lactic acid, reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, improving recovery times, reducing physical and mental fatigue, enhancing speed and stamina, endurance, and strength, and while speeding up exercise recovery as well as post-injury and post-surgery recovery time. EECP improves the hemodynamics of blood flow to help elevate levels of nitric oxide promoting arterial elasticity and improving the function of endothelial cells.

Exploring the Advantages of Steroids in Fitness and Athletics"
Introduction
In the realm of fitness and athletics, the pursuit of peak performance has always been paramount. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike continuously seek ways to optimize their training, recovery, and overall results. One controversial yet frequently discussed avenue is the use of steroids. While the use of these substances sparks intense debates, it's crucial to explore both sides of the coin and understand the potential advantages they offer.
The Science Behind Steroids
Steroids, scientifically known as anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), are synthetic derivatives of the male sex hormone testosterone. These compounds exert a dual effect: anabolic, promoting muscle growth, and androgenic, influencing masculine characteristics. Their medical applications include treating conditions such as hormone deficiencies, muscle wasting diseases, and delayed puberty.
Advantage 1: Accelerated Muscle Growth
One of the most prominent advantages of steroids is their ability to expedite muscle growth. They enhance protein synthesis, allowing muscles to repair and grow at an accelerated rate. This benefit can be particularly advantageous for athletes aiming to build muscle mass quickly or recover from intense training sessions more efficiently.
Advantage 2: Enhanced Physical Performance
Steroids can significantly improve an athlete's physical performance by increasing red blood cell production and oxygen-carrying capacity. This results in improved endurance, reduced fatigue, and enhanced overall stamina. Athletes engaged in sports requiring prolonged exertion, such as cycling or long-distance running, may find steroids appealing due to their potential to boost performance.
Advantage 3: Speedy Recovery
Intense training regimens often lead to muscle tissue breakdown and micro-injuries. Steroids mitigate this damage by suppressing inflammation and enhancing the recovery process

Spin Care for Beginners: Starting Your Cycling Journey on the Right Wheel
Introduction:
Embarking on a cycling journey can be an exhilarating endeavor, offering a blend of fitness, adventure, and a chance to connect with the outdoors. However, like any physical activity, cycling requires a thoughtful approach, especially for beginners. That's where the expertise of a Physiotherapy Clinic comes into play. In this article, we will explore the importance of seeking spin care guidance from a physiotherapy clinic as you initiate your cycling journey, ensuring your ride is on the right wheel toward a healthier and more enjoyable experience.
Tumblr media
Understanding the Importance of Proper Spin Care:
Preventing Common Injuries:
Novice cyclists often underestimate the physical demands that cycling can place on the body. From improper posture to inadequate warm-up routines, the potential for injuries is real. A physiotherapy clinic specializes in preventing and treating sports-related injuries, ensuring that you're aware of the correct cycling techniques and safety measures.
Personalized Training Programs: 
Everyone's body is different, and what works for one cyclist might not be suitable for another. A physiotherapy clinic can create personalized training programs that take into account your current fitness level, any existing medical conditions, and your cycling goals. This tailored approach maximizes your progress while minimizing the risk of strain or injury.
Optimizing Performance: 
As you delve into the world of cycling, you'll likely want to improve your performance and stamina over time. A physiotherapy clinic can guide you through exercises and strategies to enhance your strength, endurance, and flexibility, all of which are crucial for a successful cycling journey.
Starting Your Cycling Journey on the Right Wheel:
Proper Bike Fit: The first step in any cycling journey is finding a bike that suits your body and riding style. A physiotherapy clinic can help you determine the correct bike size, handlebar height, saddle position, and other adjustments to ensure a comfortable and injury-free ride.
Warm-Up and Cool-Down Routines: 
Cycling is a physically demanding activity, and failing to warm up correctly can lead to muscle strains and discomfort. A physiotherapy clinic can guide you through effective warm-up and cool-down routines that prepare your muscles for the ride and aid in recovery post-ride.
Posture and Technique: 
Maintaining the correct posture and technique while cycling is essential to prevent strain on your back, neck, and joints. Physiotherapists can offer guidance on maintaining the proper posture and pedaling technique, reducing the risk of chronic discomfort.
The Role of Nutrition and Recovery:
Balanced Nutrition: 
A physiotherapy clinic can provide nutritional advice that complements your cycling routine. Proper fueling before and after rides can enhance your performance and support muscle recovery.
Recovery Strategies: 
Cycling can be intense on the body, and recovery is crucial to avoid overuse injuries. Physiotherapists can recommend stretching exercises, foam rolling techniques, and other recovery strategies to ensure your body stays strong and injury-free.
Conclusion: 
Cycling as a novice is an exciting experience, but it's important to go into it with caution and awareness. You're not only protecting yourself from potential injuries but also improving your cycling performance by getting advice from a physiotherapy clinic. A physiotherapy clinic may be your indispensable partner in getting your cycling career off to the perfect start, from bike fitting to proper technique, warm-up exercises to recuperation methods. So get set up, seek advice from professionals, and bike your way to a more fulfilling and healthy way of life.

Running Your Dream Marathon - 5 Factors That Impact Your Performance
It has been quite a long time since you last ran a marathon. It was your kids and then your big promotion at work that kept you busy. But everything is settled now. Things are finally coming back on track. You want to get out on the ground and make the most of the time that you have. You have also chosen the marathon event that you want to be a part of. It is all very exciting.
Tumblr media

But there are certain factors that you will have to keep in mind because they are going to impact your performance directly. These factors are given below and shed light on a lot of unsaid facts and truths that we all end up denying or neglecting most of the time. Let's have a look at what they are and how you can successfully overcome them and run a marathon just like you used to in your early days:
1. How Long Your Sabbatical Has Been:  
If you are getting back into the game after a long break, things are going to be a little different. The duration you have been away is going to play a pivotal role in your marathon performance. The longer you stay away from any physical activity, the more difficult it becomes for you to get back to your previous fitness level. This is a factor that impacts your marathon performance directly.
2. Your Genetics Play A Role Too:
Your genetics are going to play an important role as well. There is only so much that you can do to alter your stamina, endurance, body frame, and fat percentage. You might have also done your research on how to choose the best running shoes but at the end of the day, your genetics are going to determine how soon you are able to get your fitness levels back to where you want them. 
It is quite obvious that you will have to re-learn several running techniques and also make changes to your lifestyle to enhance your recovery after strenuous exercise. Making changes to your diet and sleep cycle will also be important to help you overcome your inherent/genetic shortcomings.
3. The Body Weight You Have Put On:
The heavier you are, the longer it will take for you to get to your desired body weight. This body weight is ideal for a marathon runner. If you are planning for a long-distance race, you will have to shred all those extra kilos that you have put on during the holiday season.
4. Your Experience Matters As Well:  
This is going to be helpful and will enhance your performance significantly. The more experienced you are, the easier it will become for you to train for your newest marathon race. Once you make up your mind and set a specific goal, everything becomes easy. 
You just have to find a guide to select the right running shoes and take out at least 1 hour a day for your regular running sessions. Once you get back into the flow, everything is going to start coming back to you such as your previous habits, muscle memory, recovery routine, stretches, diet charts, and sleep discipline.
5. Sports Gear You Have Invested In:
This is one thing that you can never compromise with. You need to make sure that your feet are comfortable. Open YouTube and find out how to choose the best running shoes for the type of race that you want to run. 
Examine the shape of your feet and determine whether you should go for extra soft memory foam soles or regular sportswear with conventional cushioning. If there's a pronation or flat sole problem you deal with, there are special shoes made for such individuals. This will make sure that you do not face any problems or suffer any pain when running your dream marathon.
In the end, remember that your expectations should be aligned with your age, abilities, and your overall endurance. Over time, you are bound to experience a slight decrease in your overall stamina and strength. Remember to eat healthy, sleep well, and watch your body weight at all times.

PHYSIOTHERAPY… WHY MEN SHOULD CARE
Sex, a tight physique, peak athletic performance, confidence, and overall feeling good about yourself and how you look. Okay, now that I have your attention, let’s break this down a bit, shall we?
How practical is physiotherapy?
It is a well-known fact that when you look good and feel good, that has a ripple effect that will positively affect numerous other aspects of your life. Many men associate getting to that point with working out. While they’re not incorrect, as a solid gym routine helps, it is common for men to plateau in the gym and stop seeing physique improvements or muscle growth. Why? The simple answer is that they’re continuously doing the same exercises on a rotating schedule with not much change or diversity in the types of exercises or mode of weight training. This can be discouraging and may even cause some men to give up on the gym. Luckily, there is a solution to this problem – physiotherapy.
Tumblr media
Physiotherapy has been widely known primarily for injury rehabilitation and prevention, especially when it comes to the potential of surgery in the future. However, it encompasses so much more than that and has very beneficial effects on men specifically. There are countless different ways in which physiotherapists can help maximize athletic performance, increase endurance/stamina, improve sex life, enhance physique, boost your mobility/movement, and in general, improve overall confidence and swagger.
Let’s dive in deeper, yes?
1. Maximizing Athletic Performance
As stated above, it is common for a plateau to occur with the same old routine day in and day out. To avoid this, you may consider visiting a sports therapist – a certified physiotherapist who will assist you in finding new ways to engage your muscles with a variety of mode deliveries. These include, but are not limited to, resistance bands, dumbbells, bodyweight exercises, sport-specific training, and so much more. This in turn will provide you with the education required to break your plateau and create an even more effective and efficient workout routine with phenomenal results!
2. Increase Endurance/Stamina
Typically, when you go see a physiotherapist, you are given an at-home exercise program to perform on your own time. In addition, both during your appointments and on your own time, you will likely be given some sort of cross-training in the form of walking, running, swimming, or biking. This at-home program will be individualized – by that I mean it will differ in intensity and duration based on your personal goals and current fitness level – and will in return, challenge and improve your overall endurance/stamina!
3. Improve Sex Life
I know what you’re thinking – how the hell would seeing a physiotherapist help improve my sex life, and more importantly, isn’t that awkward and embarrassing? To tell you the truth, there are pelvic physiotherapists for this specific reason. Your pelvic floor muscles are primarily responsible for tightening and relaxing the bladder/anus muscles to enable continence, as well as ejaculation and proper erectile function. Unfortunately, anything from daily stress to trauma to injury to bad posture can hurt your pelvic floor, resulting in symptoms such as incontinence, pain with sex, or even erectile dysfunction. The good news is that there are certain exercises/stretches you can do to prevent these negative effects, and a pelvic physiotherapist is the person who can provide you with them. So long story short, a pelvic physiotherapist really CAN improve your sex life. Crazy, huh?
Tumblr media
4. Enhance Physique
We’ve all heard of testosterone (or at least I would hope you, as a man, have). To sum it up, essentially testosterone is the male sex hormone associated with sex drive, energy levels, and mental health, just to name a few. Pretty important, yes? Well, testosterone is also primarily responsible for muscle mass, meaning that low levels of testosterone can result in weight gain, fat gain, and loss of definition. That’s where physiotherapy comes in – physiotherapists can help you get back into the gym or into a solid workout routine to maintain proper levels of testosterone, avoid these not-so-fun effects, and positively influence your overall quality of life.
5. Boost Mobility/Movement
Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for us to skip our warm-up or cool-down when partaking in a workout. This can result in overly tight muscles which leads to a limited range of motion and decreased flexibility. Again, a physiotherapist comes into play here – one of the main benefits of physiotherapy is increasing your overall mobility via specific stretches/exercises so you’re not restricted in any plane of motion or any movement pattern. This can apply to someone recovering from an injury, someone who just hasn’t stretched in years and whose muscles now feel rigid or stiff, or someone who just wants the education on how to properly prepare for and finish off a workout. In any case, a physiotherapist is a person to see if your independence or functionality is being threatened by tight muscles!
5. Improve Overall Confidence and Swagger
This comes along with everything we’ve already discussed above – as you start to feel the positive impact of physiotherapy on your overall quality of life, you will undoubtedly begin to see a boost in your confidence and swagger! Enjoy it, man!
Now that I’ve blown your mind with all the reasons you, as a man, will benefit from physiotherapy regardless of your situation, I have one last little secret to let you in on: Embrace it! Seeking help does not make you weak, nor does it make you a loser. It makes you more attractive and appealing to women because you’re not afraid to show weakness or admit when you need some advice or assistance. Trust me boys, women love to see you taking care of yourself!

Best Quirk for an arm wrestling contest that ISN’T a strength enhancer
Not only will I be ignoring strength enhances, I also won’t cover but Quirks that give the user more arms, like "Dupli Arms" and "Quad Arms". I’ll also ignore Quirks to hurt the opponent, like "Decay" and "Explosion", otherwise they’d take up most of the list.
Tumblr media
Bubble: Not only could you blind that person, but considering how stressful arm wrestling is, the bubbles are bound to smell pretty bad. You’re close enough to the other person that it’s pretty much a guaranteed hit.
Dark Shadow: Technically, you’re still arm wrestling with your arms. You’re just doing it through the arms of the shadow beast in stomach. I didn’t see anything in the rule book that said you couldn’t use your shadow beast.
Vitality Stealing: I mean, you’re already grabbing them, you might as well eat away at their stamina to wear them down or make them fall asleep and pin them easily. You’d be the first person to win arm wrestling by knockout.
Slide and Glide: Just create a force on the other side of your palm. Even if you don’t instantly pin them with the force, you could just have it hover above the table when you start losing. Can’t pin you if you never touch the table.
Centipede: This one is for pure freak factor. You start by arm wrestling them, and then you just start touching them with some of your centipede legs. If nothing else, you can make them longer so you can wrestle while getting a drink.
Engine: This is mostly referring to Tensei’s version of the Quirk, as all that extra thrust is certain to be helpful, Tenya’s version could be good as well. Can’t really focus on arm wrestling if someone kicks your shins in with rocket legs.
Chronostasis: You’re already sitting still. You could just stab the other person with hair arrows and then beat them. It’d even add your own version of slow mo to it for extra style points as you pin their hand to the table.
Strongarm: Considering that this a speed Quirk with a lot of the speed focused around the shoulders, which are pretty important in this sport, this could actually be super useful in arm wrestling. You’d probably beat them in seconds.
