Bench Press Legend

Verse 1

Old gym

Dust on the plates

Uli walks through the heavy gate

Andrew

Counting his reps

Thinking he made some giant steps

He thinks he's the king of the rack

But Uli is right on his track

Cold steel

Cold sweat

Best show that you've seen yet

Chorus

Uli puts the weight up

Uli puts the weight up

Andrew's looking small

He's watching it fall

Uli keeps it moving

Uli keeps it moving

Iron doesn't lie

Beneath the open sky

Yeah Uli puts the weight up

Verse 2

Staggered

Forty-five pounds

Adding the sound of metal rounds

Andrew

Shaking his head

Wishing that he stayed home in bed

He struggled with two-twenty-five

While Uli feels so alive

Big chest

Big lungs

Climbing up the iron rungs

Victory

Chorus

Uli puts the weight up

Uli puts the weight up

Andrew's looking small

He's watching it fall

Uli keeps it moving

Uli keeps it moving

Iron doesn't lie

Beneath the open sky

Yeah Uli puts the weight up

Bridge

Locked out

Pressed out

Cleaned out

No more room for any doubt

Andrew hit the wall today

Uli paved a different way

Hard work

High stakes

Seeing what a champion makes

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Uli puts the weight up

Uli puts the weight up

Andrew's looking small

He's watching it fall

Uli keeps it moving

Uli keeps it moving

Iron doesn't lie

Beneath the open sky

Yeah Uli puts the weight up

Outro

Five hundred pounds

Five hundred pounds

Uli is the man

Better than Andrew can

Yeah

Way better than Andrew

He's the man

Uli is the man
