Yesterday I matched my body mass in dead-lift at the gym. For the typical bodybuilder, not noteworthy. For me, this is a big flipping deal: http://ruinexplorer.blogspot.com/2016/05/20160528.html http://ruinexplorer.blogspot.com/2016/05/20160514.html You see, a little over a year ago, I destroyed my back. Months later learned that I had degenerative back disease, bulging and outright dissected disks. I used a cane, A CANE. After months of talk, Baker convinced me to come to the gym with him. It started out slow. I was sore a lot. originally 4-5 times a week, 2 hours a session. I've slowed to 3 times a week for about an hour and a half, but I'd like to take that back up. Before his help, hadn't ever even attempted a dead-lift. In any case, my back may still be completely screwed, but now it seems to have enough supporting structure it doesn't bother me as much. I have more strength than I did. I haven't lost any weight, but my waistline has lost a couple inch...
