Then when you first start lifting and realize how weak you really are, and how little you can lift. Then after several weeks you notice that you can do 10 more reps than last week, you say to yourself, "what if I add 10 more pounds"? You add that extra ten pounds and can only do 6 reps, you get a little angry, maybe push yourself to do 8 or 10 reps. You keep lifting and the next month that little lever goes down from 40 pounds to 50 pounds, you don't see the results on your body, but you know everytime that little lever goes down, you gained something through pain and hard work. I love seeing that little lever go down, nothing more satisfying, add me another 10 pounds today mike, I think I can handle it.
