I Should Write a Book



Some day I am going to write a book about the gym. Lots to see and overhear there - usually falling into the categories of:


craaazy

that's interesting(?)

funny - haha

and

did I really just see/hear that?!


For example:

Let me know if you want the details

on an underground botox party

coming to a 2-story colonial near you.



Sometimes I learn something at the gym that has interesting implications for the non-gym part of my life.


Sticking Points


During some strength training exercises I have been confronted with the concept of a sticking point - the place in the lift where it is the hardest or where you tend to fail -even though you actually have the strength to complete the lift. Sometimes I need just the slightest help to get through the sticking point. Sometimes even just knowing that assistance is available is all I need to push through the sticking point and complete the lift.


Sometimes in life we experience sticking points - it is not that we don't have the strength to get through whatever lies ahead, we do, but we just need some slight assistance to make it through the sticking point. The assistance we need comes in a variety of different ways - sometimes when we least expect it and sometimes when we aren't even aware that we are stuck.


... and you thought it was all about the sweating :)
