Yesterday I did however see a true inspiration at the gym. A younger black gentleman who had his leg amputated to his knee killing it on bench might've weighed around 200 or so and worked himself up to 315 for multiple sets of 4, 3, 2 and then I left but sitting there watching him made me realize anything in life is possible if you have a true passion for it.

I mean fuck here's this guy benching 315 without any balance for reps. I was sorta in awe and made me keep pushing through failure.

I hope it is the last for a while as well....

I am going in for an MRI, probably monday, because I have been experiencing some pretty significant pain in my abdomen and have been throwing up and nauseous for about a week. Not fun...

still training hard though and not backing down on anything!

Atom, hate to hear about that pain but very glad you are training. You keep hitting it.

I have been up at night myself with lower back pain. Can't get comfortable at all. Doc says its probably that lesion on L4 pressing on nerves. I'm ready to start treatment. Testing is done so I hope to hear this week.

Got a busy weekend but going to try to squeeze in legs today. Monday for sure I am getting back to the iron. My port has healed so the gloves are coming off. Gotta stay strong for the fight.
