The Iron Scriptures

And it came to pass in the days of old, when Ironclad, son of Pumpiron, ruled the temple of weights, that he spoke unto his disciples, saying: "Let thy back be straight as the bar of iron, and thy core tight as the forge of creation. For he who bends in the deadlift shall surely know pain, but he who maintains his form shall be blessed with the sacred gains of ancestors. Even as thy muscles tremble and thy grip weakens, remember the covenant of iron, for through suffering comes glory, and through consistency, immortality in the halls of the swole."
