The clock ticks on. There’s absolutely nothing you, nor anyone else, can do about it. When you want it to go slower, it doesn’t. Nor when you want it to go faster. Outside of gigantic gravitational fields (the likes of which humans haven’t yet been able to create) you are stuck with the clock you’re given. (And, even if one could create an acceleration large enough to dilate time, you’d still be stuck with your own frame of reference. Basically, you’re screwed.)

The box squats burned like the devil. Tons of lactic acid in my hips, quads and butt. When I first got in to the gym this morning, it was freezing cold. Someone must have cranked on the AC. Halfway through the set I was literally dripping with sweat (and nobody had bothered to turn off the AC). I wrung out my t-shirt when I was finished.
Anyone who says you can’t do “cardio” with a barbell has never tried this. My heart was pumping at 80+% MHR, I was breathing hard and fast, I was sweating and my muscles were filled with lactic acid. Awesome.
