Engineering Muscle

Thank God for the gym, the iron and the nutcases (whack jobs, bizarros and crazies) with whom we share the cold, hard implements. Here's to the vast variety of exercises and movements, the command they have over us and the command we have over them. No one knows what a set and a rep really are unless they've passionately persuaded and powerfully urged a rep and a set to completion. It, the gym, the quest, the whole catastrophe, begins with the obvious desire for a strong and lean body. We're simple people with simple thoughts. Who doesn't want to look good and feel better? Should the clinking and clanking survive a few weeks, a subtle, almost undetectable relationship begins to form. You sly devil! You know exactly what I'm talking about. The gym and the journey to it, the time set aside for the workout and the workout itself apart from each other, are a non-linear experience. Connect the ingredients and a colorless and substance-free multidimensional pattern is produced. And no part of it is separate from the whole, no more separate than you and your subconscious. And herein we discover truth, integrity and commitment. Push plus pull equal pump and burn (fulfillment squared). Trust me... DD
