There is a lot to be said for those that show up day after day and time after time to be put through a physical wringer. The desire to achieve certain physical aspects, be it asthetics, strength, or both, totally outweighs one's natural tendency to avoid pain. Yes, I know it seems crazy but let me tell you what's even crazier... NOT DOING IT! WE are addicted! Addicted to the progress, addicted to the challenge, addicted to the chemical release, addicted to the team interaction, addicted to the occasional fear, addicted to DOMS, addicted to the physical results, and addicted to the responses received by others when you show up and lift the hell out of some ishT! It truly IS a beautiful thing. But it's not at all for the faint at heart; which is most.
We belong to an elite group. Most individuals that are into fitness or are frequent gym visitors will never do what we do; nor can they. Unfortunately, you are likely included in this group. Sorry, I'm not sorry and it's true. We go far beyond what the average person is even able to comprehend. And if you can't understand it, you can visualize it. If you can't visualize it then it's not possible. And if it's not possible, then you remain the average Joe Blow. I cannot be him. No one in the crew can be him (well Nate might if we allow him to, but that's not happening)! Lol!!! Gotta love Nate though!
Back to being average... Not an option. I have absolutely NO desire to fit in! The further something is from the "norm" the more I desire it. Differentiation. Uniqueness. An anomaly.
For those who desire to continue on their journey of averageness; have at it! In fact, WE need you! I mean, who else is going to provide the reminder of just how GREAT WE are! Thank you.
