Gravity is primordial, it is an opponent that is wholly indifferent to your efforts or aspirations. Even if you make you lift, victory is temporary. You have your moment, but in the end the iron always wins.
The iron establishes limits of mind and muscle. Limits for each of us to exceed, through discipline of thought and discipline of action. There are no shortcuts to the lessons taught by the iron. The lift is the lesson. It is a lesson you will continually learn from. The iron does not record your repetitions, the mass amount lifted, or the muscle mass gained. The only true measure of its test lies in the heart and in the character of the lifter.
Each will find that moment by lifting their limit in weight and repetition, then look deep inside and find they've got just one more. The numbers don't matter. Once this place beyond your limit is found and reached you will carry it with you always. Facing any challenges that you encounter in life with the knowledge that once you think you've reached your limit, inside you still have one more.
