This will be something that will pay off for us in the spring so we have all bought in to this off-season training.

Like, what is more manly than lifting weights?! \u00a0You see the that man there? Yea, thats what we are all striving for&#8230; ha ha kidding. I think we would need a lot of steroids and protein shakes to ever look like that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But in reality, our team lifts are an opportunity for us to get better.\u00a0We all think of our lifts as a competition between each other. Of course, everyone can lift different amounts of weight but it is your improvement that is most important.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason we all love our team lifts is because of the unbelievable weight room we get to lift in. Student-athletes here at Dickinson are so fortunate to have the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dickinson.edu\/galleries\/gallery\/146\/durden_athletic_training_center?currentPage=1&amp;itemsPerPage=12\" >Durden Center<\/a>. This athletic training center is easily one of the best facilities in Division III.<\/p>\n<p>Our coach is always telling us we can think of these lifts two different ways. We can either think of them as an obligation or an opportunity. Well, I can say with complete confidence that we all think of it as a great opportunity to get better and have a ton of fun doing it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/getoutdoit.wordpress.com\/21\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/getoutdoit.wordpress.com\/21\/\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.wp.com\/b.gif?host=getoutdoit.wordpress.com&#038;blog=100040934&#038;%23038;post=21&#038;%23038;subd=getoutdoit&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though our fall season has technically&nbsp;been over for about a month now, we really have not seen any slow down.
