Week 4- Why Everyone Should Lift Weights
People begin lifting weight for many reasons. For
some people lifting is an attempt to get fit or lose weight, others just do it
for fun. The battle waged by a weight lifter is not between other people of
greater or lesser strength but against oneself. Lifting weights is about doing
better and being better.
This is human passion at its best; it’s the drive towards
the impossible and beyond. Weight lifting is about long term goals. It’s about
not giving up. It’s about being motivated even angered by those that can do
something you cannot.
Weight lifting works differently it’s about
exploiting ones weaknesses towards a desire to improve. It allows one to wield
the body like a machine. It’s allows one to know success; incremental success.
It allows one to manage hostility.
It feels
great knowing with every five pounds you add to the bar, you're better than you
were yesterday, you're better than someone else. You'll look in the
mirror during and after your workout, seeing that entire pump, boosting your
ego quite nicely. You'll get to the point where you know you're awesome. You
know your body is attractive. You know you're better than many others.
During your workout, many to all problems in life
become unimportant, if only for a moment. You'll be too caught up in the moment
focusing on your technique and physique, setting up the next weights,
visualizing your next set, or just too tired to give a crap about anything
else.
