If the javelin had hit me 10cm to the left, it would have punctured my lung, 20cm higher the throat, which would have been the worst-case scenario. Just 1cm higher and it would have hit bone, muscle and tendon and that would have been the end of my sporting career. ↗

I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm. ↗

There's no particular relationship between spending and educational results. Most education spending is actually on salaries, and that's allocated according to political muscle. ↗

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case. ↗
