A fantastic essay by Henry Rollins, of punk band Black Flag fame.
This really speaks to me. I had an older gentleman in my neighborhood who took an interest in me, and taught me to lift when I was about 13, and changed my life for the better. He had a weight set in his shed he let me use until I got my own.
My parents were hard working Blue Collar people, that did not play sports, or exercise. My father always said "He did not have time to workout, I go out and work, and you should not waste your time". Good parents, but very stern, and serious.
