Because I'm a genetic wimp (the only non-gifted man on Getbig), and it feels good to try to overcome both that and age. Also, weightlifting is honest, immediate, and individual. You can move what you can move, no team effort, no the field was a little muddy today, and it's all about you - the progress and the motivation. Jeezus, I sound like an animal pak ad. Anyway, I'm reminded of what Rollins said with his "200lbs is always 200lbs" spiel.
"Conan, this... you can trust."
