grab your straps
grab your belt
feel the barbell in your hands...row row row...feel the squeeze... feel the contraction... feel the stretch...feel the growth
pull your body up
pull your body up high
pull your body away from the dissapointments of the past
pull your body away from the limits you place on your growth
pull your body up to the bar and hold...hold...hold until you feel every last fiber in your back screaming...and then hold some more
Step up to the bar
Wrap your hands around the bar so tight you could snap the steel in half
Clear your mind of every distraction
Clear your mind of every fear
Forget your bills...forget your girl nagging you...forget the doubters who think you can't do it...squat down and pull that damn monster off the ground...one rep...two reps...three reps..hell you could go all day
Feel the burn in your lungs as you keep repping...feel the bar ripping the skin off your shins...feel the eyes of every weekend warrior watching you...Feel the eyes of every gladiator in the gym watching you...but you don't care...youre doing this not for them...but for you
The workout is done...the body is trashed...physcially you are toast...nothing left in the tank...but mentally youre ready to do it all over again...you live for this stuff...go home and rest and grow and come back next week and do it all over again
In iron
