Most people know that I had major surgery on my back when I was a junior in college, about 5 years ago now. I had 4 bolts put into my back, a spinal fusion of my L5, and a bone graph. It has been a long journey to where I am now. I lift heavy weight and probably push myself harder than my surgeon would like but I am proud of myself for it. Never give yourself excuses as to why you won’t be able to do something. It takes work and time and there are no shortcuts.
