  1. The traveling salesman who carries hell with him, turned away time and again, amplifying his miserable burden by taking another step, stopping only to start again, and making each break in travel a compound fracture in a spirit tormented by misfortune. The straight fives is a death sentence clearly illustrated by the first iteration and made more clearly understood by its rubberized and no-legged victim. The posterior chain is made to suffer in a million little pieces, each iteration breaking down the already broken down to just one more degree, ad nauseum. Like a tortoise who carries his torment on his back, the player of this poorly dealt hand is trapped and surrounded by the demanding burden of gravity, only made worse by the lateral demands of distance. This movement takes the monotony of the dead lift to the next level of application and function. The marketability is sorely undermined due to the lack of immediate gratification and the inability to plug in and play the ego against established standards. External validation is a losing battle. Independence will ultimately win the war within. Straight fives is misery on the move, blistered hands from a slick wooden handle, and screaming hamstrings. Thank gun it comes one step at a time.
