The structure of the workout provides no desire to quit as the hard part is already finished. So I flipped. And as I flipped I decided I needed more info. "Steve, how much do you think this weighs?" I called out across the gym. "Not sure, hun," in a way only Steve can say to all his clients - regardless of age or sex - without being patronizing in the slightest.
