THE VOICES...

u hear them....

the voices...

the speak words to u all the time...

"u ain't shit"

"your a damn pussy"

"talk to me when your hittin some real weight"

"ur a nobody"

"i fuckin own you, son!"

"your my bitch on the platform"

"u don't stand a fuckin chance"

"u can't do this shit"

"u can't beat me!"

"you can't do it!"

"you don't want it!"

"your fuckin weak!"

"you can't handle that!"

its these voices u hear...

where do u hear them?

they seem to be heard more and more at the asylum known as the gym...

are they in your head?

yes they are?

are they comin from people or from the iron...

mostly...its comin from the iron...

it talks to ya..

these words come from people...

but those words ends up comin from the iron itself in the end...

its the real equalizer...not mere mortals

these voices is what feeds the DARK RAGE...

voices of your own PAIN...that echoes

every set...

every rep...

it never stops...

but like the pain...u embrace it...

u let it cause an eruption...

the eruption known as the DARK RAGE...

and before u know it...you'll hear yourself talkin back to the iron

but the voices doesn't end...it continues to grow and grow

are u psycho?

no we all are...cause we all hear THE VOICES...

its there the moment u set foot into the gym...

until the moment u leave the gym...

your ruled by these voices and driven by them...

cause its the will of your DARK RAGE...

these voices will make u into something that many fear u will become...

these voices will drive u to do insane and psychotic things

that mere mortals won't comprehend...nor understand...nor can do...

and your never complacent for the VOICES will remind you...

of your mission...

and your weakness...

a reminder of the question...

"what is this pain that fuels the DARK RAGE?"

that reminder will forever keep the voices talking...

yes...these voices

these voices that have no mortal form...

that u give power to...

that will push u to levels that u never thought would be possible

that will take u to places that you've never been

that will cross lines that u think didn't exist

yes...these voices are doin that...

if your not hear these voices...

your not alive..

your not a lifter...

every lifters has these voices that torment..

torture...

and sometimes enrage

every lifter hears these voices when they are on the sidelines..

they unleash their torment and torture...

making thy RAGE grow and grow

making the lifter almost insane...

but from that...u enjoy the insanity...

the pain...

u also enjoy the voices tauntin u

wantin more..

these voices sometimes come from people...

but in the end...they are only fueling these voices

that seemingly come from the iron

thus makin them even stronger...

the pain they cause is incredible...

the voices are there when u miss a rep

"your fuckin weak!"

they are there when your partner does more than you...

"he's gettin stronger than you!"

they are there when bomb at a meet

"you just couldn't fuckin do it!"

they are there when u miss a session

"someone is training to be stronger than you"

they are there when u see your competition

"your goin to get owned!"

they are there when your approachin the bar

"you can't do this!"

they are even there when u drop weight

"your goin to get fuckin crushed!"

and thru its mental assaults..

you'll find out that the voices aren't comin from the iron

but how do u respond to these voices?

u don't

u defy those voices thru your actions

and its hearin these voices that causes u to do the invetiable

hearin these voices causes u to shake with power and rage

spewing from your veins...

even causes u to roar like a warrior

and allows u the strength to unleash HELL!

and then...emerge and to give those voices the "F-U"

but...like a everlasting war...it doesn't stop...they continue...

mortals will look at you...

but they don't know

the pain u have inside...the voices that speak to u...

what is are these VOICES that speak to you?

the one thing that is workin to overtake you...

the darkside...

u know it as

the DARK RAGE!

may u have mercy on yourself...cause the dark rage won't..
