My headphones lie over my ears,

while strolling through the blue door to the weights,

as I glance at my peers.

The barbell placed down on the platform,

loaded with two forty-kilogram plates, 

and two five-kilogram plates ready to swarm. 

“It is too heavy!” he yelled as I smelled revenged. 

Walking wobbly to the hulking barbell,   

“If I couldn’t, then you definitely can’t” he pledged.

With all my might and strength, 

The barbell slowly up to my knees which went well,

Until I fully hit the max length. 

His jaw dropped as I plopped to the ground,

Then my friend comes over to me, 

Helps me get off the mats and pats my back as I gaze around
