At the Cottonwood Recreation Center there is a certain subset of gym rats that hangs out in the Free Weights area. For the members of that subset, frequent homage to the Buff Gods is mandatory. One in particular likes to quasi-scream as he cranks out the last of his reps, and when the set is done he lets the free weight free-fall to clang on the rack resoundingly, distracting the entire gym floor.

I don’t like such behavior, but there’s no denying he’s getting results, and I’m envious enough to do a post about it. Lord help me if I’m ever envious enough to act like that, though.

Here are the words to the triple acrostic:

If you’re fitly lifting free, bub
Getting anatomic visa
Off them duds & take a pic
To preserve a build like brick

(“Anatomic” may also be read as “an atomic.” [smiles])
