The Iron Scriptures

And on the eighth day, Brodin molded from iron the first dumbbell, and from steel the first barbell, breathing into them the spirit of transformation. "These shall be thy tools of creation," spake the Allspotter, "for as thou liftest the iron, so too shall the iron lift thee." And thus was born the sacred covenant between mortal and metal, that through sweat and strain, the faithful would forge themselves anew in Brodin's image.
