So tonight I am performing my squat session ...

[funk51]

Tonight I completed my second-to-last (heavy) squat session before my powerlifting meet October 22nd.

The target: 585x2x2 (raw w/ just a 10-year-old loose single-ply poly with the straps down)

There's this black middle-aged twink in the rack beside me doing some shitty lunges. When I had five plates (495) on the bar and was just about to do my last warm-up, he says, "I get nervous seeing that! I used to do that stuff. Squatted seven plates back in the day. Then one day I woke up and the top three discs in my back were crushed."

Oh, brother.  

Skip ahead ...

I have completed my first of two with 585 and the iron warrior to my right won't stop telling me about his days as a beast. "Why aren't you wearing knee wraps? I always wore knee wraps. I didnt go as low as you."

"How low did you go?" I ask.

"Oh, maybe to here ... " (Squats down so his knees have just "broke" from lockout.)

Me: "So your Herculean 700-pound squats, in other words, were total and complete horseshit, and at your best, I'd guess you could have buried maybe 300."

Him: "Well ... "

"Just can it, dink. I have man's work to do. Go back to your lunges and never speak to me again."

It was a total getbig moment.

Are you on performance enhancing drugs?  Be honest...

On my mom's life, no.

Never say never, though.

I have been training for 26 years and have never stopped. Folks usually can't stomach the fact that to become very strong, they have to put in the time. And by time, I don't mean five years ... or even 10 years.

You have to truly LOVE it. The process.
