What's With The Shoes?

One step.

One moment.

One heartbeat at a time.

Get a grip

Surrounded by barbells on racks.
We move fast..
We lift heavy.

Cinder-blocks.
Tires.
Dark early morning roads.
Black mats. 

Heart BPM's race with hard bass BPM's. 

The weight is there.
Only you can move it.
Mentally.
Physically.
Inside and out. 

Move it.
Move. 

Will you move it once? 

Will your feet hold firm? 

Will your breath carry you? 

Will you move it.. 

Again.. 

Again.. 

and  

Again. 

Before you lose yourself in the number..
Before you record tomorrow's gain.. 

There is no weight.
There is no time.
No PR.
No climb.
There are nothing if you don't
Get a grip. 

Develop the mettle required to grip the knurling and to move that barbell's metal..

Learn to see before you run.
Learn to carry the rhythm.

Get a grip.
Inside.
Outside.
Upside down. 

Hold steady.
Hold fast.

Handshake in life
or
Hands on the bar..

In order to keep going
You first must

(get a grip)
