fitness equipment In an attempt to prove our manhood, my brother and I made our way to my apartment fitness equipment with one goal in mind: to prove who was stronger. Through our life, we’ve competed. When it came to athletics I usually won, not toot my own horn just stating facts people. He had bulked over the years and working on cars day in and day out had him stronger.

All of the fitness equipment in this place is machine. For fear of liability issues, all free weights were removed so we didn’t have to worry about benching more weight then we could handle and taking a bar to the chest. The competition began and I started taking him down, exercise by exercise. A couple of them we were really close and to prove I was stronger I added more weight then I normally ever put up. Not a good idea. Being machine fitness equipment, my initial explosion of energy didn’t budge the bar. Trying again, it felt like my arm exploded. The next morning my right shoulder was super sore from straining the muscle. I won the fitness equipment competition but my brother won the next day when I couldn’t reach anything in the kitchen cabinets.
