<>\ $hername struggles to throw a proper punch, let alone impact the bag. Her small arms shake with each blow, her target barely moving from each hit. <>"I can't even dent the punching bag... Makes me kind of concerned about how weak I am. I need to build some more muscles!"<>\ <>"I really hope that punching this thing will help build my upper body up..."<> <>\ \ <>\ Small muscles in $hername's arms harden as her fist connects. The bag largely stays in place, moving only slightly. "If I can only do this much to a punching bag, I don't want to think about what would happen to me in a real fight. I need to get stronger." <>\ \ <>\ The small muscles in $hername's back and shoulders ripple as she punches the bag. There's a minor impact as it moves back slightly. "Even with these hard little muscles of mine I can barely dent the bag. Guess I need to make them bigger." \ <>\ The lithe muscles in her back, arms, and core ripple as her fist connects with the bag. The muscles dance as she fires off more hits, pushing the bag back slightly each time. "Grr... I'm barely denting this thing..." she says with frustration. "Need more power in my arms." <>\ \ <>\ Her arms, back, and shoulders flare as she fires off a punch, legs flexing from providing power to her stance. Her fist pushes the bag back a couple of inches - her next few attacks keep it in perpetual motion. "This is a decent start, but I really wish I could obliterate this punching bag..." <>\ \ <>\ The toned muscles covering her body all flex in unison as she strikes the bag. Her lats and upper abs ripple as each punch yields a loud smack. The bag bounces back a few inches from each attack. "Starting to feel a little badass," she says between blows, "But I want to get stronger and feel really badass!" <>\ <>\ Her broad shoulders, strong back, and thick arms deliver hard, powerful punches to the bag, the noise of loud strikes filling the room. "Mmm... starting to feel like I could do some real damage to most people in a fight if I had to. Now to train harder so I could kick anyone's ass!" <>\ <>\ The vast array of large, rippling muscles throughout her body propel her fists against the bag, each blow sending the bag back nearly an entire foot. "This is fun! I could do it over and over and over again as long as it keeps making me stronger!" <>\ <>\ Her entire massive upper body swings into the bag, her punch leaving a small momentary crater in the bag as it flies back a couple feet. "Finally starting to feel like I can take care of myself in a fight. But now I'm eager to see just how strong I can get!" <>\ \ <>\ After a few warmup blows, she starts striking the bag harder, grunting loudly as her fists slam against it. The bag goes further backwards, and you see both it and the chain attached to it briefly light up. "That must be the special technology that keeps the bag from being destroyed by superhumans! Yes!" <>\ <>\ Her upper body is like a powerful machine, back muscles pumping piston-like arms that strike at the bag with fearsome might, a loud crash filling the room with every blow. The bag and its chain light up, the special material activating to absorb her blows and protect its integrity, while the gravity manipulator prevents it from flying across the room. "I love making this thing light up! That means I'm considered a superhuman!" <>\ <>\ Even with the punching bag's gravity manipulation technology active, each punch pushes the bag back several feet, leaving a visible dent in it for a few moments before the special material reforms into place. "Feels so good to be strong like this. I wonder if it'll feel better to be even stronger..." <>\ - <>\ The huge slabs of muscle in her back give each punch so much force that her fist sinks at least six inches into the bag. "Heh... Even with the special material absorbing the force of the blows, I have to go easy on this bag or I'll risk breaking it." <> <>She continues hitting the bag, only able to fire off a few punches before needing to take a break before continuing.<>\ <>She jabs the bag for the next 20 minutes, taking short breaks after every few hits.<>\ <>She spends the next 20 minutes hitting the bag, resting between every 15 or so blows<>\ <>She continues hitting the bag for the rest of the workout, resting after every 20 or so punches.<>\ <>She rests after a couple dozen punches, repeating this process for rest of the workout.<>\ <>Throughout the entirety of the workout, she only needs to take a few breaks to recover.<>\ <>Thanks to her immense endurance, she constantly hits the bag for the entirety of the 30 minute workout, never slowing down, let alone stopping for a break.<>\ <>$hername's stiff limbs have difficulty reaching a full range of motion.<>\ <>$hername has a reasonable range of motion with her upper body, but when she mixes in kicks, isn't able to reach very high with them.<>\ <>Whenever she kicks, $hername's legs are able to reach halfway up the punching bag.<>\ <>$hername's upper body is loose and limber, and your kicks are able to reach above the halfway point of the punching bag.<>\ <>With her flexibility, $hername's feet are able to reach the top of the bag whenever she kicks it.<>\ <>Your punches are slow and sluggish.<>\ <>Your punches are of below average speed.<>\ <>Your punches are of average speed.<>\ <>Your punches are of above average speed.<>\ <>Your punches are among the fastest you've seen.<>\ <>Your punches are so fast that it's difficult for regular humans to track them.<>\ <>Your punches are so fast that they look like a mere blur.<>\ <>Your punches are so fast that onlookers only see the faintest outline of a blur.<>\ <>Your hands hurt as you punch the bag, the weak force behind your blows unable to move it much at all.<>\ <>With each punch you land there's a quiet smack followed by the bag jiggling a little.<>\ <>Your punches yield satisfying blows against the punching bag, knocking it back a small amount with each hit.<>\ <>Your punches are loud, momentarily knocking it back a few inches each time.<>\ <>Your punches fill you with satisfaction as each blow <>You continue hitting the bag, only able to fire off a few punches before needing to take a break before continuing.<>\ <>She jabs the bag for the next 20 minutes, taking short breaks after every few hits.<>\ <>She spends the next 20 minutes hitting the bag, resting between every 15 or so blows<>\ <>She continues hitting the bag for the rest of the workout, resting after every 20 or so punches.<>\ <>She rests after a couple dozen punches, repeating this process for rest of the workout.<>\ <>Throughout the entirety of the workout, she only needs to take a few breaks to recover.<>\ <>Thanks to her immense endurance, she constantly hits the bag for the entirety of the 30 minute workout, never slowing down, let alone stopping for a break.<>\ <>Your stiff limbs have difficulty reaching a full range of motion.<>\ <>You have a reasonable range of motion with her upper body, but when you mix in kicks, you aren't able to reach very high with them.<>\ <>Whenever you kick, your legs are able to reach halfway up the punching bag.<>\ <>Your upper body is loose and limber, and your kicks are able to reach above the halfway point of the punching bag.<>\ <>With your flexibility, your feet are able to reach the top of the bag whenever you kicks it.<>\ <>Your punches are slow and sluggish.<>\ <>Your punches are of below average speed.<>\ <>Your punches are of average speed.<>\ <>Your punches are of above average speed.<>\ <>Your punches are among the fastest you've seen.<>\ <>Your punches are so fast that it's difficult for onlookers to track them.<>\ <>Your punches are so fast that they look like a mere blur.<> <>Your punches are so fast that onlookers only see the faintest outline of a blur.<>\ -if characters are punching bag together and $gequip is "nightmare collar"- <> <>\
