does your sense of how much objects weigh depend on your upper body strength somehow? i've not done anything that would directly train it (unless walking and running counts????) but all my music gear currently feels way lighter to me than i'm used to…
wait they all just regained their weight. what. is it like, while “working out” the sense of weight becomes less for a bit? i'm really wondering what's going on here
i think it might be that objects feel lighter if i pick them up more forcefully and energetically?
@hikari I don't think humans can sense weight or even force-resistance. I think we just sense how much muscle contraction is happening
@hikari in a backpack -- much more affected by the design of the backpack and the way it distributes/balances the load
in your arms -- yes, we have injured ourselves this way before
