Weight lifting is an everday activity that invokes numerous senses, whether we are aware of these or not. The temperature of the bar, usually mind numbingly cold, is the first thing we can feel as we go about this task. Tearing of the muscle fibers, perspiration oozing out of numerous glands in the body and strong painful patterns are imprinted into the hand of the user are usually miniscule in comparison to the immense force excerted on the body. Rumbling echoes of other weight lifters or your own weights thundering through the floor as they are dropped back down interupt concentration. Over the course of a 'session' the body weakens to a complete state of exhaustion. The body's internal temperature rises noticeably as the muscles begin to warm up. Dripping sweat can be tasted throughout the mouth whilst clenched teeth grind against eachother. One of the most noticeable senses is the tainted smell of blood, sweat and tears, to quote Winston Churchill.
