We are accustomed to talking about weight in this room. We know what is on the bar. We can see the sandbag, measure the distance and count the repetitions. A coach can watch our movement and recognise when we need to adjust the load. But some of the heaviest burdens carried into a gym never appear on a programme. Someone can complete the workout and still be struggling to face the evening. Someone can encourage everybody else while quietly wondering whether anybody would notice their own distress. Physical strength does not tell us everything about a person's inner life.
