Yoda: the personal trainer

Greetings All,

    So we have been stepping into the area of heavy lifting.  The lightweight stuff is over.  I am trying to learn all the stuff that goes with bodybuilding, but it's like trying to learn to be a jedi.  My trainer is even spouting out Yoda-like phrases.  I tell him I'll try to lift the weight he puts on the bar and I get "Try not!  Lift, or lift not!  There is no try."  In some cases where my knowledge is incorrect, I must "unlearn what I have learned."  Yoda should have just had Luke lift another really heavy boulder after he couldn't lift the ship.  Then it would just have been a drop-set.   I never once heard Yoda say "C'mon Luke!  Rep it out you must!"
    I wonder if having Jedi's as trainers would even be a good thing at all.  I can just see pumping out some weight that is comfortable and having the jedi master trainer make some cryptic hand gesture and the weight is suddenly 3 times heavier.  Motivation techniques might be a little different with that sneaky little jedi mind trick.  Cardio with lightsabers could be really cool though.  And then you could get a droid to do rub-downs and stretching.  Of course the Sith would never go drug free.
    All I know is that after my latest workout,  my midichlorians are totally spent!


Super-Jerry
