I was on vacation last week, which largely consisted of helping my best friend move. On Tuesday, as we were moving everything into and out of the U-Haul I literally thought (and commented to my best friend), "Well this will be my answer for this week's 'What did you do?' on the lifting_heavy_things dw comm."
After church last night (back at home), we were setting up for dinner, and someone was pulling out a large table and I asked, "Do you want a hand with that?" He replied, "I'd like some muscle." (Not as an implication that I didn't have muscle to offer, just a joking literalism as to what he needed.) When I helped him carry it, he grunted approvingly :)
Yeah, as I was helping carry things on Tuesday (especially as I was failing to be able to be much help in moving things like futons and bookcases that didn't have anywhere to usefully grip) I was definitely thinking of the theme here of valuing functional strength.
