Our WWAC Warriors have been doing some great and inspiring work. Desiree has been working on becoming her own superhero. Laura is morphing into a real live Batgirl, and Lela is fighting endometriosis like Wonder Woman versus Villainy Incorporated. I am thoroughly impressed with what they are doing, and how they are tying their fitness…
Chris Evans and Chris Pratt Photobomb Superbowl Fans on The Tonight Show
It’s the month of love and what better way to begin this month than gushing about our love for Chris Pratt and Chris Evans being adorably hilarious on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon? Everyone – even those like me who don’t follow or like sports – kept an eye on the epic battle that…
WWAC Warriors: The Superhero Journey Continues
TW: This piece involves discussion and one image of body measurement So, I’m back again to follow up with my original piece about bodybuilding or rather muscle building for a novice like me. It has currently been about four months since I started, and I’m happy to say some progress has been made. More importantly, I’ve…
#WWACWarriors: Part 2 w/ Lela Gwenn
To read Part 1 of this series, go HERE! And on to Part 2, in which I remind you that when the going gets tough re-examine your strategy. This is a tough entry to write. Why? Well, because to some people reading this (and to the highly self critical part of myself that lives just above…
WWAC Warriors: Bodybuilding Towards Superheroism
I’ve struggled with body issues since middle school. There, I said it. I was a chubby, short, frizzy-haired teenager who couldn’t stand to look in the mirror for more than a few seconds. Working out didn’t fix that; I fixed that. And when I did, working out became something I enjoyed, instead of something I…
Fitness: I am Runner 5
My sister regularly runs marathons, has running-related tattoos, and even leads her own run club (I designed the t-shirts!). Me? I am not a runner. That is to say, I don’t like high impact exercise like jogging or running, but walking? That I can and will do, along with aquafit once a week, but not much…
The Awkward Adventures of Exercise Girl*: Smell The Victory
I started Boxing & Muay Thai training at a local gym with my siblings in September 2013. The gym is a foreign place to me as a self identified introvert and lover of the indoors so awkwardness will inevitably ensue. Being a writer, I obviously had to document it. These are my random reflections, tips and insights. Enjoy.

Sunday Art Gala: What If Wrestling Was Actually Anime
Usually our art galas are glorious examples of high-quality sketching — this week we’re having troubles in that department, so you’ll have to hold onto your hats until next week. Instead, I’m bringing you some examples of mixed-media. You remember we did archery, and began a little look at CHIKARA? When it comes to nerdsports,…
Word Life, This Is Basic CHIKARA…nomics?
Editor’s note: Hey there reader! A lot of people are still pushing “nerdy” and “sporty” as opposite ends of some sort of binary spectrum. WWAC isn’t on board with that! Following our successful archery spotlight, and preceding an upcoming set of #WWACWARRIORS staff stories, I want to bring you in easy: somewhere that nerds do…
Kacy Catanzaro Dominates American Ninja Warrior Course; Is Coolest Person Ever
Please take seven and a half minutes out of your day to watch 5 foot tall, 100 lb. former competitive gymnast and current total badass Kacy destroy this insane obstacle course (she’s the first female competitor to ever scale this crazy 17 foot tall curved wall), and then join me in fancasting her as a…
Football Comics! Bad Machinery V.1
Bad Machinery Volume One: The Case of the Team Spirit. Football! A comic with football in it. The World Cup’s still on! Bad Machinery is a comic from John Allison, who should be hailed even more loudly than he already is (I mean, I assume that he is? I take it for granted) for the wicked,…
