huff, huff.

your breath was coming short as you trained, your shoulder blades against the bench, your wrists gorilla gripping the dumbbell as you did your training.

your colonel watching as he did pull ups and muscle ups.

your last rep, ending in a bad fail, the dumbbell crushing down on you. causing you to drop it to the ground, and sit on the floor with gritted teeth. sucking in breaths.
