I am very glad I discovered weight training. without getting too personal, it has gotten me through some very dark days. days when i thought i didn't think i'd be able to carry on. but always, there was the iron, solid and reliable. and as i came up out of a max effort squat the weight of the world didn't seem so much anymore.
So much truth here, and I can identify with it on multiple levels.
