Heh cute. Kinda got that Shonen protag energy.

Missing the dbz abridged vegetta energy.

Huh? How would that fit?

Th aggressive, better than thou shonan rival that vegetta started the stereotype, and the abridged series takes to a perfect level.

Yeah that doesn't seem to fit her. That's why I said Shonen protagonist. Plus it was a joke anyway. Not meant to be taken seriously.

Whooo, that poor puppers is giving herself noodle arms trying to lift that weight.

Ngl, she might look cute with a 6-pack and flexable arms.

I mean, she makes a good point: you don't need magical powers to get buff! They just happen to be strongly correlated around here.

When you're both physically strong, and magically strong, anyone who stands against you is properly hecked. :3

It's like that old joke about the barbarian who wanted to learn a single spell, using a pan as the component.

"CAST IRON!"

Well, Friga is very determined. I'll give her that ;)

"Yeah, but do you think I started by lifting twice my body weight on the first day? That's a recipe for a stint in medical. And a tongue-lashing by Mis. And not the good kind."

Not very many days at all if I have figured Friga correctly^^

Morgan you just need to accept that Miss Friga is not a quitter, she is going to succeed and make you eat your words with a healthy side of crow.

Morgan isn't saying that Friga is a quitter. She's saying that, at Friga's current level of fitness, the work Morgan has her class do is a bit much for someone just starting out, but is not shutting her out from joining the class once she gets the basics down.

You know. To avoid injuries.

Indeed.

I agree, but Morgan is definitely underestimating Friga

I highly doubt that Morgan's underestimating anyone... she more cares about their well-being than anything.

Exactly. Morgan isn't underestimating Friga. She just knows Friga, who's struggling to lift what is probably the starter weight, needs to work her way up to a class that requires lifting several times that regularly.

Probably not? If your not strong enough it's not something that can be overcome by willpower. You'll just tear the tendons free from the bone and rip something in the effort and still not be able to lift it. Thats why she is saying she needs to do the basics, to get up to a point where she can do it without self inflicted injury.

Got an unopened pickle jar?

friga is so damn cute

I am having flashbacks to tenth grade...

Dam. She keep going at that and her arms are gunna pop right off. They've already been stretched extra long. XD

that is fucking adorable

Lord Friga is determined to the point of utter adorableness. I’m calling it now she’s either going to be the most ripped of them all. Or the most fearsome toothpick as she learns to use her powers to compensate to the extreme.

I'm heavily leaning towards both. Both physically powerful *and* very capable with her powers.

yup

Fearsome Toothpick, I like that. XD
Also "Lord Friga" sounds nice too, like a Sith name. :P

....Yes, Lord Frigius...

You need a very unstable mindset to do that, Hun. xD

Start with the bar itself!

that last pose
Me after lifting anything over 20 lbs

That girl is adorable!

I like the optimist attitude, but it takes weeks to build muscle and maintain them.

And? As long as she's honest with the time and effort required...

She's got those noodle arms looking good there.

At least she wants to try

Gotta start with a dumbells first, dear. :3

Or at least just the bar. Learn proper lifting technique.

Are we talking actual days or Biblical "In the beginning" days?

i mean she is a Nomad Wolf, from a society that probably prizes physical prowess. ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51840577/ ) so i can see her wanting to work on both skills at once. plus it is clear from when she was given the offer to join, that she has quite a bit of hero worship going on. (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52017089/ )

and i love Lillie's little smile watching Frigga try to lift that weight.

Ohhh no... I don't like her odds.

Or maybe I've been watching/reading too many downer stories lately. XD

She's super cute.

Her odds? What odds? Unless Morgan is putting wholly unreasonable expectations on those who want to be her students, all Friga needs is time, effort and will. All of which she has (as far as most folks know) ample amounts of. It might not be three months. It might not be six. But she can get there.

her chances to survive the story.
Innocent gung-ho character full of potential tells a main character how much the admire them, then gets killed tragically for the emotional gut-punch and to give character development for the character they idolized.
It's a classic trope.

To say "I don't like their odds" means to suggest that you think the story is going to have bad things happen to them.

Classic and overused. Probably not going to come into play here.

Awww. Poor Friga. The pains of being the one who doesn’t need special help.

Practice make perfect. ^^

It might just be the species difference, but it seems that Lillie might be a little older than Friga.

She needs some milk

I've seen smaller people struggle to lift half that weight (looks about 105 on that bar give or take) off the ground in a deadlfit so good for He... IS SHE LIFTING WITH HER BACK!?

Top points for enthusiasm, but trying to go too hard too fast will just hurt your growth in the long run, child.

And trust me, there's things you'll see as a defender that you'll wish you hadn't. Don't be in such a hurry to look at them.

Cute, but physically not there yet. Willpower alone will not do it for her, not unless it's channeled properly.

that grip is horrible for deadlifting <.< their better to be holding it with one hand as a reverse grip

That's a nice technique for both of them. Congrats.

She can do it! I believe in her!

this is very cute as heck. I am sure she will get there soon enough!

It occurs to that the biceps are a secondary issue in this case, as the digigrade structure means the calve and thigh has to carry most of the weight that a plantigrade can leave to the shin and thigh bone to support

Yeah, it's a lotta ankle strain for digigrades.

She got spirit!

I had kind of though Lamb did not teach intro to badass, but more of the AP badass classes.

It actually looks like Fen's the one that's teaching the beginner stuff. Which is kind of hilarious, given her proven lack of patience.
