His father looked strong in that moment.

In his garage gym, he racked up the bar and smiled at his son as he laid back flat. He paused. He took a breath. Then he pressed six plates with ease for six reps. When he sat back up, he said:

“Your turn son.”

The boy eagerly took his position on the bench, looked up at the garage ceiling, and prepared for his lift by taking his own deep breath.
