hello bros!!! I know i posted a while back, and told my story, but i will briefly tell it again....Im 37yrs old....been competing at powerlifting/bb for 18yrs...I started out as a powerlifter, went as far as the nationals back in the 80's, recording best lifts of 825 sq, 525bench, 775 deadlift...at 275. mind you, this was in the 80's with the old cheesy blast bench shirts, and cotton squat suits! I trained and lived in tampa Florida, Moved back to my home town, after about 2 torn pecs, a torn quad, a slightly torn bicep, and many, many, back problems, and no more training partners, I figured I better give it a break and just train! I did this for about 2 years, couldnt stand not competing, and decided to do a show, well, I did shows for about 5 years, did very well, a couple of first places, never an over all. Well, I completely tore my patella tendon, my quad and knee cap rolled into my groin! Well, i was told heavy squatting was over! This is when ryan Kennelly moved to my town(800 bencher). he lit a fire under my ass, and I did some bench meets! I had to train with a knee brace, but I was happy, I WAS COMPETING AGAIN!!!!!! Well, I did well at bench meets, winning my class at the APA world bench press championships! Well, the same old injuries started coming back! I said, hell, Ill give doing a show another shot! And here I am! Im 1 1/2 weeks out! I posted some pics of me 4 weeks out...keep in mind, I have goofy shorts on, Im a little flat, just got done training and doing cardio, on a low carb day, but youll still get the idea..Im 5'10" Im 227 in the pics, right now im 221, and ready to go..Ill keep all you bros posted! To all you other bros, dont ever quit, and die hard! be an iron warrior!!!! www.geocities.com/musclehed275/fourweeksout.html
