I think the best part of training heavy isn't the pump or the soreness. It's that blissful, completely numb state after. You're just a body in space, a bit sweaty, too tired to think. And then coming home to someone who just gets that. Who knows that when I'm sprawled on the floor, it's not a sign to ask a million questions, but to maybe just lie down next to me. The quiet understanding is better than any post-workout protein shake. Anyway, my couch is calling. And maybe my girlfriend's hands. Not necessarily in that order.
