    A big thanks!

    This is just a shout out to steroid .com, the forums and all the members that have helped me out that I don't remember there names and specifically: 405, baseline, Lunk1, Marcus300, austinite and autonomi (sorry if any names are spelt wrong!)

    I am in the best shape of my life! Besides from that I feel the best I ever had; body and mind.

    Today was a milestone for me. 9 years ago I was in a horrific car accident and among other injuries totaled my shoulder. At the time of the accident I was 194 at about 18% bf and pushing 150x1 bench, squat 225x6, and DB press (shoulders) 70x6. Fast forward through years of physio and hardship and pain and I am at 270x1 bench, 385x1 squat, 425x1 deadlift and (drum roll!) DB press 70x8!!! This is the first time I have ever pushed the same or more then I did when I was 18! I attribute this to my hardwork and the help from this board, site and members. You have helped me better myself to a point I didn't know if I could get back to or above.

    Thank you again!

    Looking forward to more milestones!!!

    Congrats man! It takes a lot of dedication to take your body beyond the norm. It's especially hard coming off an injury like that. Keep working hard and enjoy every second of it.

    Great news my friend! Keep up the hard work and you will continue to see great progress! Just6 be careful not to push to point of injury...I have suffered way too much from forgetting it's a lifestyle and treating it like a sprint!

    Thanks Lunk! I have learned through many re injuries of my shoulder and more recently neck when to stop and when to continue / what is going to turn into an injury and what is just muscle burning. Once I am a little bit further in my progression I will post my full story to show where I have progressed from not for pity but to show that recovery is possible.

    This is awesome, good to hear. Keep it up!

    By the way, you totally butchered my username lol. I don't get why so many people type it incorrectly, 'Atomi', 'Atomoni', and 'Autonomi' is the latest and creative one lol. But no worries.
