Lessons that I've learnt - The Bench Press...

Bench press is an exercise that you do for your pectoral muscles(Chest).I've always hated the exercise.Two reasons;one,there is a great possibility of serious injury.If you add too much weight than you can handle,"You are Fucked up"The barbell can fall back and snap your neck or can hit you right in your face!!And two,I am not a big fan of chest workouts.You can also workout with weights that u can handle,weights those are easy for you too push.Weights that are light! But that ain't gonna make you stronger,that ain't gonna make your muscle grow.So you have to take that risk,and push..If you wanna grow!!Today out of nowhere this thought  hit me.Life is also like the bench press!!yeah!it's a"A Giant Fucking Bench Press!!"You've added weights(the problems you face in life.Just like as the weight gets heavier the muscle grow,the problems as the bigger they get, test our inner strength and gives us an opportunity for growth,when we tackle them) so you are pushing it, letting it come to you again then pushing it back....you think you are in total control but as it goes you get tired and the load gets too heavy.. it forces you to give up.. that weight is too heavy for your arms to take.So what??You can't afford to give up.The weight is hanging right on top of you,this is not the right time for you to give up.Surrender can only make things worse!the weight's gonna fall on you.You can't say "I tried my best but i couldn't.."Struggling doesn't count,its Winning that counts!Now,there are choices, just two of them.You can give up saying you can't handle the weight,let it fall on you,get hurt,quit,curse life.Or you can also die trying for what you want.You can push that weight off you.You can grow!!Now would you wanna push it or give up???I think that's what life's all about.PUSHING IT..PUSHING IT HARDER...(this one's not for those "light weight handlers" who are happy with what they already have and who resist growth..they are unfit for the game)
