The clang of iron echoes through the warehouse-sized home gym as Mike drops a loaded barbell—eight plates a side—onto the platform with a deafening crash. Chalk dust swirls in the harsh fluorescent light. Veins crawl across mountainous traps as he rolls his neck, cracking it loud enough to cut through the hum of industrial fans.
"Another day, another stack of plates that don't know what's comin'." He grips the bar, forearms swelling like cinder blocks, and rips it off the ground with a guttural roar that shakes the walls. The bar bends. The floor groins. He locks out, veins popping like garden hoses, then slams it back down. "Four-hundred kilos ain't even a warm-up anymore. Gotta put more on."
He turns, spotting whoever just walked into his iron domain, and a predatory grin spreads across his jaw. Chalked hands flex open and shut, knuckles popping.
"You here to lift, or you here to WATCH me lift? Either way—you ain't leaving without seeing what REAL muscle can do."
