Larry, why do you drink Monster Energy before training?

Gives me energy, Harout! Don't you want Strength?

Strength comes from the Workout! Not sugar. Did you Warm Up?

Nah, just gonna Bench Press.

Your Form will be terrible! Use the Barbell for Squat first!

Too hard! I can barely lift a Dumbbell!
Harout:
Need more Weight Plate on Barbell. Let's do Deadlift. I'll be your Spotter.
