A lifter trained alone for six years and was quietly proud of it.
A shift change came, and the programme survived four days.

Two years later they joined the six a.m. group out of embarrassment rather than conviction,
and found the group kept one rule:
if you are not in by ten past, somebody sends a message.

In eleven months the lifter was messaged twice
and did the messaging nineteen times,
which turned out to be the part that worked.
