Do you bodybuild and love poetry? Curtis Dennis's poem on lifting is a must! By: Curtis Dennis Jr. "The adrenaline is flowing and coursing through your veins in your body as you prepare yourself for the lift, you see now a monstrous weight as your enemy, all you can do for 10 seconds is look at it. You lay on the bench, your moist hands grasp the chalked bar you take a deep breath and you take another, nervously now it's just you and this weight, that wants to crush you with your shoulder blades in and chest out, you prepare to lift. The weight is off the bar as you bring it to your chest, you know the weight has done its job. Now it's your turn. As you're pushing, your chest is squeezing tightly your legs are nailed to the floor by the weight you continue pushing the weight up - but it stops. But you continue to push for everything now, you can't stop. The weight begins to move again - but this time faster and faster, and faster, Your partner helps you guide the weight to the bar The weight is on the bar. You get up from the bench your chest is tight but you did it, you beat the weight and you walk victorious!" Curtis Dennis Jr.   hybridstrength@yahoo.com
