You might be a Warrior if...

You laugh at the "team lift" sign on the box.

Lol, yeah, I do this and look down at my quads and say "OK, let's go team."

When you sit at baseball games with your spousal unit and as they flash up the at bat player info you lean over and whisper in his ear "I can soooo deadlift that guy". (true story - do it all the time).

I AM going the distance

 

'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

When someone at the gym tries to compliment you by saying, "You've really lost weight." and you get sad because you know it's loss of muscle from being injured.

When you stop bending over to pick stuff up (or take something out of the fridge) and start squatting instead.

When you are at a bookstore browsing books on the floor-level shelves and a store employee offers you a chair and you say no cause you actually prefer to “sit” by squatting down.

When one of the first things that crosses your mind when you meet someone new is something a lot like “could deadlift” or “could squat”.

I am beginning to notice that I do that a lot

Your protein shake is so big that you give up entirely on the idea of a cup and just drink it straight out of the blender.

I do this mostly so I don't have to bother washing something else, but I do admit that my protein shakes often do not fit in my 2 cup sized glasses.

You lay awake at night plotting your lifts for the morning.

You wake up in the middle of the night, can't go back to sleep, so you go the gym instead and take a nap later.

You can recognize fellow deadlifters by the scrapes on their legs.

yes!
