Thought I'd share this with my FG family:

A few years ago I had an accident at work. Pretty bad, herniation's in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. I was told by "specialists" that I should not lift anymore, but instead pump the poison down my throat that they prescribed oh so freely. Needless to say I hated life and what had become of it.

Fast forward through some dark days and I decided I wanted my life back, got off the meds and took getting better seriously...originally I thought I would never be the same, but the power of the mind is, well...powerful.

My goal was to slowly rehab myself and one day be able to put up 300 again. After what seems like forever I achieved this personal goal today. I had some bumps and other injuries along the way but never lost sight of what I wanted to achieve.

My next goal is to get 315 for reps...lol..I'll just stick to taking it slow for awhile

Moral of the story is...Don't ever count yourself out, the power of positive thinking can take you far
