Satch - I thought you were gonna break out into poetry then,haha .
Cummon mate, put it into a poem.

That brings a tear to my eye bro hahaha

Ya its true I get the willies when starting a workout, but nothing is more rewarding then when you finish an intense workout where you went balls to the wall and broke your old records. No better feeling than having such insane swollen muscle pumps and being so bagged you can barely walk out to your car or drive home.

I used to bike to the gym, but my workouts are just so intense these days, I dont have enough left in me to bike home. I drive home, grab a shower, make up a huge shake and sit out on the patio and down it and think about how great my workout was. It kinda gives me a bit of a high.

well said satch. Maybe someday I will write something about training. A poem that I wrote is in one of those Chicken Soup books, so hell, maybe ill try to make a workout poem .

Satch - Im not assuming you train natuaral or not. And i agree wholheardetly with your post. But, can you make the same claim, training post cycle after 4 or 5 months clean!. I for myslef can say Yes, but its also a different state of mind, as well as intensity. Lifting is life!.......And most of all it keeps my head screwed on correctly!

well satch, i went to the gym today. The only thing that was in my head was your 'poetry' and surprisingly, it gave me great motivation. Helped me to strive to puch out just a few more reps. Heres my quote: "Run the gaunlet and break yourself"

So true. I've spent a lifetime......30+ years....in the gym. During that lifetime, women have come and went, children have grown up and moved on, and finances have risen and fallen with the whims of the market.
But the iron is always there, always true, always a friend. Life's one certainty is that a 45lb. plate will always weigh 45lbs.

Yup-Its amazing how time has gone by...and in those thirty yrs i've had my ups & downs in the gym along with my share of injuries but that never stopped me...but there has been a few times a 45lb plate seemed to weigh 60lbs.

lifting....its no longer a hobby! (post #1)

its now a way of life.. a religious experience.

i get the chills sometimes as i walk into the gym anticipating another intense workout.

then the first set and the surge of power. the last rep burns and you're growling in pain. you put the weights down but it still hurts for a few seconds. you have look on your face as if you just broke a leg. thats how bad it should hurt.

some people just cant understand the intensity and gratification that lifting brings. to them, we're different and obsessed.

just wanted to get that out.





you said it perfectly Satch
