Title: The Iron never lies to you...
Post by: Deicide on July 26, 2011, 06:55:57 AM
Quote
"The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."

Found this somewhere; what's your take on it?

Yup that was written by Henry Rollins - its in one of his albums too!


Fun fact for you guys - Henry Rollins graduated from my high school (many years before I did), a private Prep School in Maryland.  

In his yearbook page he wrote that in the future he wants to be a national terrorist!

That quote must be from the 70's. Today you could easily exchange "Iron" for "syringes".

I think it's stupid. I've heard it a tons of times and it's on bodybuilding you tube videos. Rollins is a stoner.

No. It's well known that Henry Rollins is against drugs and alcohol.

you can say the same thing about studies, any kind of job, building a family, raising kids, all things that truly require using your guts. There are some things, and people in life you cant lie to.

I have read that quote before and done nothing for me.

Saying that watching youtube videos or reading about lifts or seeing pictures does not motivate or encourage me anymore like it did when I was young. I just trian for fun now!

typical fetishizing of the super zealous (they never fetishize the actual object of their passion -- the body -- but the ancillary).  i always wondered whether people really get this stoked about bodybuilding?  ???

if so, good for them i suppose.

damn right it was.  side note:  The Get in the Van book makes you glad you were't in a punk band in the early 80's, lol.  Great read, though.
