Roll Call: July 6 - 12, 2026

THE PROEM

You know this voice. When June was not yet old,
I came, a guest, to sing of iron and gold —
"One week," they said, "one week, and then no more."
Yet bards, like lifters, always add ten more.
The oath's unchanged, and I will swear it slow:
No rep invented here, no phantom row;
Each number in this song was bought with sweat,
And every verse is paid — none owed, no debt.

FIFTH AMONG HEROES: RKTBAY

"Good morning," writes the ledger-keeper — "aye,
The world grew busy; gym slid somewhat by."
Yet mark: ten thousand steps, then ten again,
The patient drumbeat of consistent men.
And Monday, when the iron window came,
He stacked a full press-day inside the frame:
The chest press and the fly, the shoulders plied,
Twelve-rep pushdowns, Smith press on the side,
Thirteen and thirteen on the cable crunch —
A quiet week, but honest, punch for punch.
He never claims the thunder he can't show;
He writes what was, and lets the record grow.
For every legend's built, when all is said,
Of weeks like this one: logged, not left unsaid.

FOURTH AMONG HEROES: BATTMAN

Now hush the strings — this Thursday, hear the bell:
The Bat turned sixty-eight, and trained as well!
One-ninety-two of frame, six feet of stand,
A birthday spent with chalk upon each hand:
Two seventy-five-second hangs from high —
A "dead hang," yes, but he's the least dead guy —
And V-ups weighted twenty-two and a half,
While Time, who came to gloat, could only laugh:
The Hume scale swears his engine's fifty-one;
The calendar, it seems, was badly spun.

And all that week the old rings knew his name:
The L-sit pull-ups, dips of growing fame —
Twice-ten-plus-three unweighted, then with freight —
Feet thirty inches up, he rowed with weight.
On Friday, chest press: one-ninety, eleven;
Reverse pec deck at one-ten — squire of heaven!

Then Friday night there crept a nameless thief —
Cyclosporiasis, bringer of grief —
Who stole the weekend that the Bat had earned.
Heal fast, Dark Knight: the candles still have burned,
For sixty-eight looked never half so tough,
And one week's ambush isn't near enough.

THIRD AMONG HEROES: REKTDIOMEDES

Third stands the fighting name that fits him best —
Diomedes, wounded once, who wouldn't rest.
Two nights of MMA, the sparring live,
Two more of BJJ — the man's a hive
Of combat: thirty-five hard sets of iron,
Five runs of two miles each, and none retirin'.
Thirteen-thousand steps a day he kept on track,
Seven days of calories — nothing slack.
And when the mats were rolled and lights were dim,
He shadow-boxed at home. That's very him.
The scroll is short; the work inside it long.
Some warriors write in ink. He writes in strong.

SECOND AMONG HEROES: CURVECAP

But what is this? A rumble from the peaks —
CurveCap has climbed to second, and it speaks!
A fifty-pound pack cinched upon his spine,
Two thousand feet of mountain, one incline,
He overnighted where the switchbacks wind:
Sixteen kilometers Saturday, defined
By five hours sixteen minutes on the trail —
Thirteen-hundred-and-some calories' travail.

One hundred thirty thousand steps this week,
An eighteen-thousand average — some technique!
Twenty-eight thousand steps that Saturday;
His resting heart, at forty-seven, lay
Calm as a lake — dipped forty-six, at ease,
Mid eleven-hundred-meter swim, if you please.

The cycling and the rowing and the heat
(Six days of sauna), bench and squat complete —
The fourth-place man of one week past has shown
The fastest way to rise is climb. He's grown.

FIRST AMONG HEROES: SPENCER420

And still the crown sits where the crown has been —
Spencer, again! The week's iron sovereign!
On Tuesday's snatch: at ninety-five, warmed light,
One-fifteen next — then one-four-five in sight.
It threw him. Five times running, to the floor.
He chalked his hands a sixth time. Then he swore,
And pulled, and stood it up, and let it fall:
One make outweighs five failures. That is all.

On Wednesday's legs the Zercher, paused and slow,
Two-eighty for a triple stole the show —
Then, mark this well: a fifty-three-inch box,
One-footed, twice. (The very physics balks.)
On Friday, pull-ups: ninety-five in tow;
Dips with one-thirty-five. The rings hung low.

Then Sunday, back to Zercher's brutal throne:
Two-ninety-five, a paused and pure-form own;
He stormed three-fifteen's gate — it held. It waits.
(The gates that hold today are future dates.)
Hip thrusts at three-fifteen, for six, twice through —
He found the low bench makes the leverage true —
And Nordic curls, each set a deeper reach.
A bath, a walk on Saturday: the leech
Of fatigue drawn out by warmth and patient sense —
For even champions bank the fire's expense.
Two crowns in two weeks running. Say his name.
The iron knows it now. It won't forget the same.

THE CLOSING CHORUS

Five scrolls, five fates: a birthday at the bar,
A mountain climbed beneath a pack and star,
A snatch that fell five times and rose the sixth,
A fighter's fists, a ledger with no myth.
Let sickness take its weekend; it will pass.
The phalanx holds. The iron holds. The class
Of warriors who write down what is true
Grows stronger every seven days. And you —
Yes, you who read and have not signed the roll:
There's room beside these five. Come, make it whole.
