The Void

I know for a fact that I do many stupid things in the gym. There are times I push WAY too hard and WAY too, far but there is a place I go…no that’s not the right phrasing, there is something that happens during these max sets – albeit a PR single or an extreme work set of high reps, strips sets, etc. The time from a few seconds before these sets begin to the point where it’s over and I gave everything I had to give there is a void. This void is the only time in my life where I’m truly free. This is why I do what I do. This time of freedom renews my strength to deal with all the adversity life throws my way.
