Re: pic: team 25 body building show
I've had a window into the world of free weights and machines for almost 30 years. This is what I know:
weight training is often mind over matter - when you lock out that last rep, when you succeed in a personal best.
For those who commit to a life of lifting and training, it means self discipline in areas of exercise, eating habits, training, rest - balancing this with school, work, social activities. Often the social activities suffer unless you meet those who live the life you do and understand it. You are competitive, usually with yourself but can be with others as well, esp. in the competition venue. To prepare for competition, the regimen becomes more strict, more intense, more focused. Weight training can help with overall build and well being.
