Deadlift in Love: The Triangle No One Saw Coming

When strength moves the heart


💥 Scene 1: Meet Deadlift — The Strong, Silent Type

Deadlift was the moody introvert of the gym.

  • Low to the ground.
  • Always serious.
  • Never smiled, never skipped leg day.
  • Known for breaking backs and egos.

Everyone feared him, admired him, and respected him.
But secretly?

Deadlift had a soft side.

A romantic one.

And he had a massive crush on Squat.


🍑 Scene 2: Squat — The Curvy Queen of Power

Squat wasn’t flashy.
She was pure, confident muscle.

She built legs.
She built discipline.
She made you question your life at rep 6.

Deadlift loved her balance.
Her focus.
The way she held the bar like she held the world.

“We’re both compound… we both go deep… maybe we belong together?”
he often thought in silence (while pretending not to look at her rack… the barbell rack, of course).


🧨 Plot Twist: Bench Press Steps In

Then came Bench Press.

Loud.
Puffed chest.
All upper body.
Had his own fan club.

Everyone loved him because he was “fun and easy to measure.”

He brought music, energy, and a ridiculous amount of chalk.

Squat?
She started smiling more around him.


😤 Scene 3: Deadlift Gets Jealous

Deadlift didn’t say a word.
He just started lifting heavier.

More rage.
More volume.
More floor cracks.

He started wearing a weightlifting belt tighter than his feelings.

Meanwhile, Bench kept showing off:

“Did I mention I hit 3 plates today? Oh wait, I’ll say it louder.”

Squat giggled. Deadlift died inside.


💬 Scene 4: The Showdown

One day, the gym played Eye of the Tiger.

Deadlift saw Bench joking with Squat near the mirror.

He snapped.

Walked over. No warm-up.

Loaded the bar.

6 plates. Raw. No straps.

He lifted with every rep of heartbreak ever known to fitness.

The gym went silent.
Mirror fogged up.
Sweat turned into steam.

Then, calmly… he dropped the bar.
Looked at Squat.
And said:

“You deserve someone who shows up every day… not just on Mondays.”

Then walked away.

(And pulled his hamstring, but it was worth it.)


💡 Scene 5: What Did Squat Do?

She didn’t chase after Deadlift.
She didn’t reject Bench.

She trained harder.

She realised — she didn’t need either of them.

“I’m a full-body movement. I build strength in others. Let them love me — but I belong to the grind.”


💔 Epilogue: The Gym Never Recovered

Bench became louder.
Deadlift became deeper.
Squat became stronger.

And somewhere in the back corner of the gym…
they still cross paths.
Still lifting.
Still healing.

Still feeling the burn — in more ways than one.


🧠 Moral of the Story:

In the gym — like in love —
everyone has baggage.
Some carry it on their backs.
Some press it above their chest.
And some just squat it and rise anyway.
