I got into a car accident on April 30th. I ended up braking vertebrates in my back and fracturing some also. I ended up severely injuring my spinal cord. Fractured my right shoulder, and fractured ribs on my right side. Had back surgery to fuse the vertebrates. The accident left me paralyzed from the waist down.
I’ve been back lifting for the past couple of months now and I’ve got my bench back up to 240. No where near what I was doing, but it’s progress. Follow along with me
