A Passing Of The Torch

Lately I've been pushing myself a lot harder than before in the gym. I've been going back to my 6 days a week, and I have picked up the intensity and kicked it up yet another level. My training partner Fred was a Pro Bodybuilder, who did it for about 10 years. He is now almost 50 years old but just by looking at him you wouldn't be able to tell that. We have been training together for a couple months now and I can see all of our training paying off already. He always seems to push me to the next level every time we workout. He tells me I am going to be on top of the world one day but I have to keep at it. Recently Fred's old friend has been joining us in our training sessions and it has been brutal. After our most recent workout Fred left and his old friend and I were walking and talking. He told me about how he used to beat Fred in BodyBuilding shows and how he was set to be on top of the world. Then he told me about how he screwed that all up and went to jail. Every person Fred told me about that was set to make it out of here, seemed to have messed it up by getting locked up. His old friend Quan then told me that Fred lives through me, he may not say it but it's true. Fred is hoping that everything he hasn't accomplished in the fitness industry and in this world I can accomplish. Once I make it then Fred would've made it, and finally there would have been someone who didn't screw everything up by making a mistake. Knowing this now gives me yet another reason to push harder than I ever have. When we workout I can't change the weight that's on that bar. Mind you that I train with two freaking behemoths so yeah it's fun lifting and working out with the same weight as them. Fred is passing me the torch right before my very eyes, now it's my job to take it and run with it.
