... that would be a very long list.

But the recurrent one is that lifting heavy things apparently makes me lose the ability to do simple addition. When adding plates to a barbell, this can be problematic.

There's a lot of "... huh, this seems heavier/lighter than I expected," and a lot of standing staring at the bar for five minutes while my mind struggles helplessly with the question of what you have to add to 40 to get 60.
