I started working out because I found myself near death in a hospital bed some years ago. I remember having a bunch of tubes and wires attached to me, and listening to that monitor beep in the midst of silence.
Training is my escape. Training Is my sincerest apology to myself for putting myself through those many years of abuse. Because I’d rather see all the calluses, sweat, and tears from training, than seeing handfuls of tubes and wires strewn across my body, and I’d rather hear those 45s clanging against each other, than ever again hearing that godforsaken monitor beeping.
