My surgeon lifted all restrictions on Wednesday. I’m 12 weeks out from having multiple joint fusions and a plate put in my foot. It feels fantastic. So I resumed training today. Humbling.

Sheered the skin off my shin on the first pull. I haven’t pulled conventional since last July. I felt more in my groove by the last set. I’m pulling both sumo and conventional right now. And may the best man win.

Chest to the floor on these. Pretty surprised that I could bang out this many.
I was tired. But really happy. The plan for the near future is linear progression. Plain and simple.
Absolutely! When you are just back from injury is the only time our squat numbers are comparable. I will enjoy this for the (extremely) short time it lasts.
