"Anger is a Gift"

This guy trains at the gym I use, and his story is truly inspirational. Kinda puts things in perspective when you're feeling sorry for yourself cos you've got a case of DOMS...

Saw an item on this guy a while ago - on 60 Minutes or a similar program - very inspirational :clap:

I lol'd @:

The guards were soaking a prisoner with a high-powered hose as the man cavorted around the yard, tearing his clothes off and screaming at the top of his lungs, "I'm lovin' it! I'm fuckin' lovin' it!"

:pfft: :pfft:

edit - liked this quote too:

The gym is not, at first, a way to buff up, or to look good, or even to stay healthy. It is a way of experiencing power in its rawest form. Iron against muscle. Resistance yielding to brute persuasion. There's a simple equation at work here. Power is the capacity to exert your will. Too often we assume that the power we have in life is fixed and limited, and instead of building our power to match our will, we degrade our will to conform to our perceived lack of power.
