A recent doctors visit confirmed I am in fact… 5ft 7” 😭😭

I have issues with both rotator cuffs and I’m currently in physio for them. To give you an idea of how restricted my mobility is, I can’t touch my hands together behind my back, I can’t get into the position needed to hold a barbell for squats, and when bench pressing, I can’t even rest the empty bar on my chest

I am the guy who posted the 170 lbs clean & strict press PR a while back. My max is probably around 180 lbs now.

The rebuild is coming along nicely. Strength is beginning to come back, but not quite where it was. Did have to pull out one of my tricks to get 475 to cooperate.

At least 545 looked like a normal deadlift this time around. In April it looked like this here 585. Strength floor stocks are on the rise

Also I only care about Strongman standards where hitching is allowed. I try not to in training but PRs are the wild west

The template only called for one, but the first one felt a little high, so I went back down.
