β€οΈβπ₯ Personal Win β€οΈβπ₯
One year ago, I was recovering from my 8th major knee surgery.
After years of surgeries, setbacks, pain, and uncertainty, there were times I wondered if my body would ever feel strong again.
This morning, I deadlifted 200 lbs.
At just 100 lbs bodyweight, that bar weighed twice as much as I doβbut the journey to get here weighed far more than any barbell ever could.
I donβt have many people to share this with, but our customers have become like family. Every order, every share, every recommendation, and every bit of support youβve given our small business helped make my recovery possible.
You didnβt just support a small businessβyou helped support my comeback.
Today, one year after surgery, I proved to myself that I am stronger than my setbacks, stronger than my scars, and stronger than the doubts that tried to convince me to quit.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey. β€οΈ
200 lb deadlift. 100 lb bodyweight. One year post-op. Eight major knee surgeries.
Never give up on yourself. β€οΈβπ₯πͺπ»
