Dude, that's some very impressive lift stats. I've been an fan of powerlifting, strongman, etc. for years now and give you guys tremendous credit! One question that I have always wondered is what a typical day's diet is for people like yourself?
Resting, rehabing and recouperating are not the easiest things to do especially for one who is as dedicated as I think you are. But you must or else it will not heal right and if it "blows" out again you may never get back to where you want to be. Listen to the Doc, and when they say its OK then go out and, "Git 'er done!
Jim, I have to admire your forum signature. Working out in whatever fashion should be something we enjoy doing. Hope you're doing OK these days, post op
