Going through my photo archives, a rare personal photo. My weightlifting training partners for 12 years. I as 20 years older so my nickname was “the old man”. We trained in a gym that was old school, industrial space, no air conditioning so in the summer it would be 90+ degrees in there.

We had quite a reputation and trainers would come from all around to work out with us. Our goal was always the same… to see how quickly we could make them vomit trying to keep up with us. Also we lifted much heavier than people remotely expected. Those were among my best times and best friends.
