Chez Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Wow. I’m tired but super happy right now. It’s been such a long road. When I tore by right bicep back in late October 2015, I actually contemplated quitting. Before that I had dealt with injuries to my knee and both ankles so I was really discouraged. The left ankle was the worst. I was grinding bone on bone and they need to put a piece of metal in there. The rehab was even worse since it took over 2 years for me to able to walk for long periods of time without pain. Some of you saw my limping at comps after that surgery. When I contemplated quitting, I realized that isn’t who I am. I always fight. So I decided to come back. Two days after the bicep repair surgery, I walked to the gym with a soft cast on my arm to begin training again. I decided if I’m coming back, I’m coming back stronger than ever. I feel like this is a second chance and I’m totally rededicated. Just want to thank everyone for the support and motivation. Big thanks especially to Bill and the other admins who keep this board going. Also huge thanks to Matt and Kristy Cannon for coordinating the shipping with me. Huge thanks to my training partner Anthony Clarino for being my camera man. I leave for a cruise on Thursday so I’ll relax and enjoy the accomplishment. I’m happy but not satisfied though. I’ll start training for the MM8 as soon as I get back. Job isn’t done yet. Still work to do. Edited June 26, 2018 by Chez 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
