The First Time in My Career
by Sri Chinmoy
Today I lifted 270 pounds in each arm for the first time in my weightlifting career. The total is 540 pounds. I lifted it eight times and number six is the best. There the dumbbells travel so visibly. There is such dramatic movement. Number six gave me such satisfaction. I do hope Dhanu’s camera has caught it!
This 270 pounds I will do for three or four days and then I will try to go higher.
