Having overnight camped with Tim and Joe last night at West Point (Paintball – more on that in a day or two) I hit the gym at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
i was doing my usual bench pressing thing (5 sets of 5 at 135 lbs.) and after finishing the fourth set got up and walked a few feet from the bench. This young guy said "Excuse me sir, can I jump in and do a quick warm-up?" So I said "Sure go ahead" and then I added "I only have one more set to do." (I hate being called "sir".)
So he jumps on the bench, pumps out a quick five reps, rests a few seconds and then does another five. He gets up and I say to him "For you a warm-up, for me, the limit."
So he gives a little laugh and grin, and says "Well we all get old."
