Not a day past 14…
Friday, January 4th, 2008As I sit here with sore legs on the eve of my birthday I can’t help but feel retrospective to how I got where I am. I turn 31 tomorrow which means I’ve been lifting for 17 years now, more than kids in high school have been alive. Granted, I haven’t been lifting every day of those 17 years, but it’s experience that shows every time I pull a bar or press a bell. When I was 14 I had to sneak into the gym or lift at home since I couldn’t be covered by insurance. I remember doing nothing but curls and military presses since that’s where the glory was. Now if I don’t do deadlifts and squats I feel like there wasn’t much of a reason for lifting at all.
May we all be 14 forever in our passion and 31 in our experience.
