Tonight, I strapped up my new Nike Power Gloves... went into the battlefield to do my chest workout ... tonight, however, I saw the bench in a different light...
After I did my preliminary warmup sets, I stood in front of the bench... the flatly-round plates hugging close to the shiney steel bar... which is quietly reflecting light from an unknown source... unknown because I couldn't draw my eyes away from the sight I was drawn too... the two towers that represent the posts that this great weight rests upon... the flat, horizontal board, covered in a black cushion awaits me... inviting me, drawing me towards it... so I go...
I find myself staring at the linear steel bar above my eyes... as I reach out for it... my back arches... my shoulderblades squeeze together... embracing my body for the fury it is about to unleash ... my hands open and close on the bar in anticipation... my mouth salavates... and lets out a final breath of air... as the bar raises off the supporting towers....
The weight lowers to the chest and in a burst of power, will and guts the weight is lifted with the authoirty of a thousand kings... toward the top of the motion... I then release backwards toward the rack... sit up, turn around and see the 300+ weight on the rack...
I take the plates off the bar... knowing the Art of Lifting...
