This is a poem I came across and I thought it was inspirational, especially for the men



SQUAT

As I sat in the corner of the gym that I go,
I watched a young man trying to grow.
He push and he pulled but to no avail,
the weight that he used wouldn't grow a snail

From my seat I arose and gave a big hollar,
LOAD SOME REAL WEIGHT AND DON'T USE A COLLAR.
Do the big weights my son if you want to see gains
for without them you'll never feel pain.

He stood for a moment and gazed at the bar,
with six 45's and his spotter by far.
He chalked his hands and gave a harsh cry,
did 10 reps and almost died.

The pain was good and this he now knew,
From this moment on he'll know what to do.
Weight, Weight, more Weight he'll go,
Which all comes down to,
GROW, GROW, GROW
 
So true!

Here are more.

THE SQUAT

Down this road, in a gym far away,
a young man was heard to say,
"no matter what i do, my legs won't grow"
he tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses , too
trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he'd do.


from the corner of the gym where the big men train,
through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
where the noise is made with big forty fives,
a deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees.
a very big man with legs like trees.

laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
chalking his hands and monstrous back,
said, "boy, stop lying and don't say you've forgotten,
the trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN'. "


The Mighty Squat By; Joe Skopec - I just found this one, I LOVE IT!
We've come to squat so run and hide
You bicep freaks must step aside

Just take your sissy selves elsewhere
You'll turn your heads but still you'll stare

Go right ahead and pay attention
Glimpse into this strange dimension

Yeah you're still weak and never grow
This world of pain you'll never know

Your shouts upon the leg-press, phony!
Noodle legs like macaroni

Some day I hope you'll understand
And wrench free from the poser band

Puny curl bars, leave this spot
The rack named for the mighty SQUAT

I love the Mighty squat, never heard that before, nice find
 
I thought you would like that one mate. How good it would be to squat in front of a wall with the Squat poem written on it. Inspiration!
 
I sent you a pm Bluey, you left it here last week lol

A chiropractor got Nina to buy that ball around 4-5 years ago. She was going to a him so often.

Once she stopped and listened to her husband, presto, no more back issues and a 127.5kg deadlift.
 
That pic by the way is from AD07, we've come a long way, it was the first ever comp at my place.
 
Apologies to those who might be of a religious persuasion, but I'm not. 'Tis Sunday tho...

A Powerlifter's Sunday

My church is built from kettle bells, of iron plates and chalk
I genuflect in power racks till I can barely walk
I pause before each station, there's no place for me to hide
My crucifix has four plates on each side.

A psalm of effort bursts from deep within a mighty chest
A new PB! With bended bar a supplicant is blessed
Salvation one more rep away through misty veils of pain
The deads shall be lifted once again
