Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 6  |  I LOVE LIFTING I love lifting and always have. I can remember watching the 72 Olympics on tv and spending months lifting up the heavy footstool and coffee table in our living room ( ok, I was only 8 years old) I love the feel of chalk on my hands, the sound of plates being threaded onto the bar, the smell of sweat that has been shed in order to improve one's strength I love the feel of a loaded barbell locked over my head, the hard calluses on my hand from hours of deadlifting. I love waking up at 3am on the morning following a hard leg workout, only to have my legs buckle as they hit the ground. I love the incredible soreness that cleans and high pulls bring to the upper back. Forget about biceps and six-packs and V-tapers, the upper back is what appeals to me. I love writing in my training journal and looking back over the years at where I have been and where I am going. I knew at age 15 that it would be tough to find 17 other guys to play baseball when I was in my 30's. but the weights would always be there. I love old black and white photos of lifters, I love overhead squats, overhead presses and barbell rows-just the type of movements that make most fitness trainees cringe. and I love the men and women who post daily-these peope will never be on Sportscenter but they struggle on a daily basis to improve themselves and for this, they have my adoration and respect. Happy 4th of July Everyone keith |

I now suspect Keith and him are lovers, and he was defending his "life partner."
