This one’s very different, as it’s a training log that involves virtually no weights, but if you read through it you’ll see why I think it should be on the list. Anyone who has complained about anything should read it, and think about how lucky they are to even be training.
Member EF5127 details his training coming back from getting cancer and having chemo, radiation, and a stem cell transplant. He also discusses a lot about what it was like going through all that, and has one of the most inspirational attitudes I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, sometime into the log his cancer came back, and he details his battle with it, until he passed away, 2 days ago.
Not a ton of ‘weightlifting’ or ‘bodybuilding’ knowledge to gain from it, but as far as attitude and inspiration, it is, IMO, the BEST of T-Nation.[/quote]
I mostly just lurk on the forums, but wanted to post and thank you for bringing this to everyone’s attention. I read through EF5127’s entire blog and finished it with tears in my eyes. The was without a doubt the most inspirational training log I’ve seen. Through all of his adversity he remained positive. I highly recommend everyone read his blog…even knowing how it ends. It is just beautiful. Definitely the best of T-Nation.
