I just got out of the Marine Infantry. I had seen a lot of my friends lift and saw the gains they were making. However, I stayed focused on the cardio/endurance aspect of my training. After getting out I took a look in the mirror and realized that I was disappointed in both my appearance and my performance. Don't get me wrong, I could do what I needed to and well, but I want MORE. I want to be a total machine after I finish my degree and get back in. I want to be a war-fighting monster.

The high I get after and during a set is unbelievable. Just that totally pumped feeling after you pump out those last three reps your weak body told you it couldn't do is completely addicting. I leave the gym feeling like a god (despite my currently underwhelming appearance) and totally pumped for my next visit.
