Interruption of a hard set punishable by firing squad.

Two large men stand over the power rack . I suppose those obsessed by numbers might call them middle-aged, but an uneducated guess would place them much younger. Both have impressive physiques: tight, flat stomachs, wide shoulders, great arms, but that isn't the crucial thing. They've finished the hardest workout they've endured in months, and their eyes shine with Life. They have the satisfied smile of men who know they couldn't have given more. One slowly turns to the other:

"Do you remember Frank?"

"Who?"

"Frank, he hung up his belt a few years ago."

"Oh, THAT Frank, what about him? I thought he'd left the area."

"Well, you know we always thought he had potential? I saw him in the supermarket yesterday. He looks 20 years older. He was puffing and wheezing with effort just strolling up and down the aisles. He has a stomach the size of Texas dangling over his trousers and was smoking like a chimney. If he hadn't said hello, I wouldn't have recognized him. He seemed so down about things - hates work, can't get up in the morning, his cholesterol is through the roof. Says he just lives for food and for television now. His wife left him, she couldn't get over how apathetic he was about everything and just vanished one night. He said he kept meaning to come back to train, but couldn't bear the thought of starting at square one again. I asked him why he'd finished. He said his motivation had disappeared. He was missing workouts and one day he realized that it had all slipped too far. Came in again once, but couldn't lift a fraction of the weight he used to. That was that. He walked out - hasn't returned...

"That's a bloody shame"

"I know, but you know what?"

"What's that?"

"It's given me the best motivation I've had in years...."

The sound of deep throated laughter echoes around the Gym.

"Come on, let's invade the bar and get Og to mix us a Tuna Sunrise......."

Train hard Frank - we're with you, be with us....

Og.
