Life is heavier than the weight of all things.

Be still, my soul, be still; the arms you bear are brittle,
Earth and high heaven are fixt of old and founded strong.

Good night; ensured release,
Imperishable peace,
Have these for yours. While sky and sea and land And earth’s foundations stand And heaven endures.

For obstacle racing, you wanna be as light, lean, and fast as possible. So, if I lift a lot of weights, I’m gonna be a little bit heavier, which will make it harder for me to hold myself up.
