My best friend was really heavy into it and started dragging me to the gym.

The iron never lies to you, you can walk out side and listen to all kinds of talk. Get told your God, beast, or a total bastard. the iron will kick you the real deal. The iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing prespective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. *I have found the iron to be my greatest friend, it never freaks out on me, never lies and never runs when times get hard. Friends come and go, but two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds!
