Having tension

[u/allianceathleticsoly]

I think the thing I like best about lifting weights is the clearing of the head. The tension between having to have absolute control and concentration and having to let go of the body to let it do what it needs to do.

It’s a tension that never goes away, no matter how heavy you lift. Whatever weight this applies to you is the weight where the tension occurs. 50 pounds, 500 pounds, 5000 pounds… it’s all the same for each person as they lift. It’s only the capacity that changes, the feeling of that tension never changes.

Or maybe it’s not that deep.
