I’ve not been a great place mentally the past two years because I’ve been plagued by a major spinal injury that’s caused one (and soon to be a second) surgery. I haven’t been able to lift weights or really do any type of major physical activity besides walking. I’m realizing what most guys feel like that don’t stay active and especially that don’t lift weights.

That being said, lift weights!!!! There is something about being in physically strong that’ll make you feel happy and empowered.

The only thing keeping me going right now is the fact I will one day be recovered enough (after my second surgery here soon) to get back into hitting the weights.
