Hugo Schwyzer tells about his experiences in and out of pain. — The Good Men Project: "I first encountered that famous phrase when I was 10, in the fall of 1977. It hung on a sign, just inside the entrance of the free community gym in my hometown. With a parent’s permission, kids were allowed to work out between 3-6PM on weekdays; I made it in on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Anxious and insecure about my already developing body, I wanted to get stronger. Intimidated by the weight racks, I stuck to using a pair of borrowed boxing gloves to hit the same heavy bag over and over again until my shoulders and arms ached. “No pain, no gain”, I’d recite under my breath. It was my mantra."
