They chalk their hands,They stare at length,They turn to prayerTo find the strength.They eye the bar,These feral brutes,Muscles bulgingFrom skin-tight suits.Massive shoulders,A fearsome back -They dont buy clothesFrom off the rack.They rant and rage,They grunt and groan,They snort and scream,They bellow, moan.Ungodly weightThey hoist somehow.It might well beA couch or cow.Fibers quiver,Their faces red,This ghastly loadGoes overhead.They hold the weight,They hear a roar.They let it dropAnd smash the floor.I watch these hulksAnd Im a messFrom witnessingExtreme duress.Im tired, spentAnd put upon.A herniaIs coming on.

MASON, Ohio -- Andy Murray followed up his second Olympic singles title with a second-round victory on Wednesday night in the Western & Southern Open.The top-seeded Scot beat Argentinas Juan Monaco 6-3, 6-2 to set up a match against South Africas Kevin Anderson, a 6-2, 6-4 winner over 13th-seeded Richard Gasquet of France.Murray had trouble adjusting to the balls and called for a trainer to attend to his right shoulder in the first set. He won nine of the final 11 games.Theres different balls here, and thats something thats not easy for a tennis player, and you have to be careful with that, Murray said. It totally changes how it feels on the racket and how it feels through your body, as well. I served better in the second set. Its just at the start, it was a bit sore. Ive played a lot of tennis, but its also the ball change.On Sunday in Rio, Murray beat Argentinas Juan Martin del Potro in four sets in the final.Murray won the hard-court event in 2008 and 2011 and has reached the quarterfinals in eight of his previous 11 appearances in Cincinnati.Earlier, Rafael Nadal defeated Uruguays Pablo Cuevas 6-1, 7-6 (4).Nadal, the third-seeded Spanish star who won the tournament in 2013, also was coming off the Olympics, where he teamed with Marc Lopez to win the doubles title and lost in the bronze-medal singles match. Before that, the 30-year-old Nadal had missed two months with an injured left wrist.I think I played well, Nadal said. I think I played a good match against a tough opponent in the first round for me for sure. After coming from Rio and after the marathon that I had, its a very important victory for me. So Im very happy.Nadal avenged a loss to Cuevas in February in Rio de Janeiro in a clay-court event to set up a third-round match against Croatias Borna Coric, a 7-6 (2), 4-6, 7-6 (6) winner over 14th-seeded Nick Kyrgios of Australia.Second-seeded Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland also advanced, beating American Jared Donaldson 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.Also, fourth-seeded Miloss Raonic of Canada outlasted American John Isner 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5); fifth-seeded Kei Nishikori?of Japan topped Russias Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-2; sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic beat Spains Marcel Granollers 6-3, 7-6 (4); and seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France edged American Reilly Opelka 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3).ddddddddddddDefending champion Roger Federer and top-ranked Novak Djokovic are sidelined by injuries.In womens second-round play, second-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany beat Frances Kristina Mladenovic 6-0, 7-5; third-seeded Simona Halep of Romania edged Germanys Annika Beck 6-3, 6-1; and fourth-seeded Garbine Muguruza of Spain topped American Coco Vandeweghe 7-6 (4), 6-2.With two-time defending champion Serena Williams forced to withdraw because of an inflamed shoulder, Kerber is in position to take the top spot in the rankings with a tournament victory. Williams has been in the top spot for 183 consecutive weeks.Its not on my mind, Kerber said. If the time is ready and I can reach the No. 1, of course,it will be amazing. Still, its for me still a long, long way to get there.Halep has won 11 straight matches and her last two tournaments at Bucharest and Montreal.I feel confident.
