Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of this poison is taking me higher

Addictions.

Everybody has them. Be they smoking, drinking, drugs, sports, sex, whatever. Me, I go with lifting weights. The sense of challenge you get, the constant improving, the effort you put into it, can get addicting, really addicting. Plus, weights are honest. You know they want to crush and maim you if they have a chance, you just hate to not let them. Easy. An agreement both parts can underestand.

Now, the addiction part. You see, after a while, you'll begin to need to be there, to challenge yourself, to feel that pain and burn in your muscles. Schwarzenegger used to say that it's better than sex... I'd say it's a close runner up. Without it, you get tense, nervous, easily irritable, can't sleep right and feel like you have too much energy. Bellow are a few examples of what these addicts would do:

Gym will be closed for desinfestation:
- So, for how long will this be closed then?
- About a week.
- And you're sure we can't just come and work out?
- Nop. Deadly chemicals and stuff... you'd be dead in less then an hour if you tried to work out here.
- Humm... how much less? Cause I could do a quick workout...

Going on vacation:
- Ok, five star hotel, pool, free mini-bar, meals included... but how far from the hotel is the nearest gym and what's the max weight on the dumbells there?

Seing the doctor:
- I'm afraid you have a broken leg, you're gonna have to be in bed for about 6 weeks.
- But there's noting wrong with the other one, right?
- Nop, not that I can tell. Why, does it hurt somewhere?
- Nop, just wondering... If I skip squats and just work on the leg press machine using only the good leg, there'd be no problem, right?
- Of course there'd be a problem! I said, stay in bed!
- What? No upper body workout either?!

Catching your wife cheating:
- Honey, it's not what you think... Rob and I, well, you never give me enough attention and...
- Yeah, ok... now have you seen my belt or what? I'm late for training.

Watching porn:
- Yeah, she sure knows how to suck... but check out the quads on that guy. Bitch probably doesn't even do squats.
- And what the fuck was up with that scene where the chick was doing a bench press and the other chick comes and starts fingerbanging her? What fucking kind of press was that? Deep reps bitch... and use some real weight next time.

Getting married:
- So, you sure we can't postpone the cerimony to like 11:00? The gym opens at 9:00, I could still get a few reps in...

Approached by the hottest chick in the office:
- So, what say we get out of work today, you come to my house and we have a little private party, if you know what I mean?
- Can't, today's legs' day.

And by the way, when you start refering to days not as monday, tuesday,... but as chest day, back day... you're hooked!
