Just awesome. Had to turn the bloody music of just to hold it together watching that lol. It's not what is achieved that gets me, it's that he's trying. I have so much respect for people that just keep trying rather then those that give up to easily.

Totally, and kudos to his instructor guy. The world needs more enablers: people who will believe in other people and help carry them to their goals, no matter what.

It's scary to think how many people are probably walking around like he was originally, and not doing anything about it purely because a few doctors have said that they can't.
Very inspirational

Been training for two weeks mate
Regardless (and I know you was joking) my break was so I wouldn't end up like that

It is an inspirational video for sure.

So that's what DDP is doing these days. It wasn't what I expected.

Glad to see you are back Morba, the forum was definitely missing some of your delicate touch.
That's really the best way to think about good mornings
Cheers fella. SA is the best thing about this forum tbh, had missed it and all you posters
Will - how come you are no longer a mod fella? That's not a change that I like

Fancied some "me" time. It was my choice - just fancied a step away from it all.

Can understand that
Shame though, now lacking a mod with the knowledge and experience that you have for threads like these

Even so easier said than done, not only are my doctor's saying I should never lift again so are the people and instructors in the gym.
Even my family. It's awfully heard to get going again and especially when your support base don't even support you.
The whole mental block from it all is enough to just make people stop and that happened to me for a quite a period as well. Especially after my relapse.

I'll be around and I'm on the hotline to the mod team should something go awry... but I think you guys self moderate anyway so we don't have to worry.

Gotta love how Mischa makes heavy things seem light!

Aye, never good when your own family / friends don't want to back you...
Again, if a doctor / physio / instructor says you shouldn't be doing anything, who are you to say otherwise kind of thing?
But as that video shows, he was told he'll have to walk with crutches for the rest of his life, now he's running It's sad really...The amount of lazy people there are in this world, who CAN do all of those things that he's done in that vid, but just choose not to.
Each to their own obviously, and people have different priorities in life etc etc

Deadlifts:
Worked up to 180x5 from the floor
Rack pulls (from just below the knee):
200x5
220x5
240x5
260x4x4
Had more in the tank, but time was getting on already.
BORs:
100x5x5
Seated ISP cable row (cables crossed over)
Lat pull down machine (feels horrible tbh but no chance of doing any chins at this point)
Post workout meal, ready for when I got home....
5 egg, bacon and mushroom omelette followed by 1/4 of a lime cheesecake (should serve 6, had another 1/4 earlier in the day!) with ice cream mmmmmm
