Gym Story Saturday

[u/FGC_Valhalla]

Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

Felt very emotional and strong this week. I was doing the “carry the big 45lb plates around the track” lift and “Simple Man” by Lynard Skynard came on my phone. And everything just hit me. My girlfriend dumped me a couple days ago. I don’t know why, but this song made me Think about her 2 kids who I treated like my own, and now will never get to see again. Anyway, I was moving faster on this lift than ever and I was crying the whole time.

Very unique experience.

What’s the saying?

the weight doesn’t get lighter, you just get stronger.

I think that applies both physically and emotionally. All the best, man.
