Bench and impress
Go hard, get hard. If you go to the gym you gotta harness those musical aids. What I do is visualize myself working out as if I was a model in a high production music video.

The first is sexual and gender related, hindering the sexual and gender development of disabled young adults, especially young women, and the second is social, the strengthening of negative stereotypes about disabled people.
