舉重室就像另一個次元，是與日常真實切割分離的另一種真實。

進入健身房後，你做的每下舉重，每套運動，都把你推往更深的黑洞，你的存在沉入一片空無，那是純物理的世界－組織破裂，蛋白質合成，肌原纖維重組，除此之外，什麼都沒有。

連自己的惰性和軟弱都阻擋不了你努力健身的意志。你的變化，別人也許無法立即查覺，但只要到過唯一存有的「彼岸」，你的一舉一動－走路，說話，性交，吃飯，思考，感受，甚至做夢的方式都已稍有改變了。

若常造訪「彼岸」的世界，你將發現自己正在創造一個美麗的怪物－你自己。

在這腦海深處的下意識王國中，住著另一種生物，他們尊凱．格林（譯注）為王，並將葡萄柚視為聖品，比鑽石更無價。

The weight room is like another dimension - an alternate reality that is both disconnected and separate from normal reality. 

When you enter the gym, each rep/set/exercise makes you descend deeper, sending your existence into a black hole where nothing else happens except for the reality of tissue breakdowns, protein synthesis and myofibril formations. 

There is no turning back once you are in the zone. Not even the weaker and lazier version of yourself can overturn your will to stop working so hard. Although others might not be able to perceive the difference right away, when you through the only exist, which is on 'the other side', everything about you - the way you walk, talk, fuck, eat, think, feel, and dream has slightly been altered... 

Take enough trips to this netherworld and you will find yourself in the midst of a creation of a beautiful monster that is yourself. 

Indeed, a different species of inhabitants occupy this subconscious kingdom in the depths of their minds where Kai Greene is king and grapefruits are more precious than diamonds.
