I had to make all kinds of adjustments to my workout routine, but I still workout and do what I can

Anybody can roll over and play dead when the world deals them a shitty hand....I won't even get into my crappy life right now....but it takes a better person to look past the bad stuff and still find a reason to get up everyday....

YOU CAN DO IT !!!
Yup, **** im 21 and loveee training powerlifting...but i just wasnt built to do it...tall.lanky,stiff build... i do a deadlift with 400lbs and text book form,, and my back is gonna flare up guarenteed... im just adjusted my workouts as usual and i think im growing better now than ever
