Pick It Up, Put It Down

Pick it up, put it down
Pick it up, put it down
Pick it up, put it down
Then throw the bar on the ground with a grunting sound

Grip the bar, feel the sweat
Your armpits getting wet
One more rep, one more set
You ain’t seen anything yet
You ain’t seen how pumped up I can get

Lift it, love it
Getting fit is just one benefit
Good things only come to those who can commit
I admit, time it takes quite a bit
But once you’ve built yourself up you’ll never wanna quit

Pick it up, put it down
Pick it up, put it down
Pick it up, put it down
And then add a few more pounds before going another round

Gradually up the weight
Every week one more plate
Pumped up and feeling great
Except leg day which I hate
As soon as it’s over I celebrate (can you relate?)

Lift it, love it
Getting fit is just one benefit
Good things only come to those who can commit
Results take quite a bit of time, I admit
But once you’ve built yourself up you’ll never wanna quit

Put it down, pick it up
Put it down, pick it up
Put it down, pick it up
Put it down, pick it up, yup, that’s wassup

Preworkout in the veins
Everyday gotta train
Obsessed with making gains
So many goals on the brain
Worth all the sacrifice and pain

Lift it, love it
Getting fit is just one benefit
Good things only come to those who can commit
Results take quite a bit of time, I admit
But once you’ve built yourself up you’ll never wanna quit

Lift it, love it
But you have to make a habit of it
Set yourself a goal and rise above it
Once you start seeing results you’ll never wanna quit
But I can’t stress this enough, you have to stick with it
You’ll gain strength, your body will look better in every outfit
And you’ll attract lots of hotties with the confidence you emit
That’s it, so grab yourself a few pounds
Pick em up and put em down
