What you need

There is no great way of hearing about an injury. Especially when they are severe. No matter how it phrased or presented, lets just admit it. It fucking sucks. Okay, take a deep breath and try and digest it. I can sympathize with anyone who has one and know how hard it is to cope with initially. (more…)

Not too long ago, I began to truly identify as a powerlifter and desired to be in the league of some of the greats in the sport.
