Over the past few months I have really struggling mentally, physically, and emotionally with Weightlifting. My previous training environment had been falling apart, my back wasnt making progress as I hoped it would, and I was trying to seek change but felt lost. I was struggling with the fear that my weightlifting career may be coming to a halt. I was determined that I wasnt going to compete at Nationals because I didnt feel like I could put up a reasonable total and I feared I may re-injure my back attempting a heavy CJ. Then I decided to head down to MDUSA and give training a chance and see if it could pull me out of my slump. I have to say being here at MDUSA has beyond exceeded all my expectations. I have an awesome group of athletes to train with everyday that are all determined to be great, I have 2 awesome coaches with eyes on me, and I have the financial support to focus on just lifting weights. Since being here I have had all the the time I need to train and focus on rehabbing. My back is feeling miles better and has made more progress in 3 weeks then it has in months. I am so much more motivated to train now that Im not in constant pain and that I have a room full of athletes all eager to bust ass and get better. I just 2 days ago snatched a lifetime Pr of 171kg and have been Clean and Jerking 180kg on a regular basis, something I havent done in over 10 months. Im now excited, and as prepared as I can be given the circumstances, to compete at Nationals and I cant wait to see what I am capable of right now. A big thanks to everyone at Muscledriver for welcoming me here and providing me with the atmosphere to once again excel. So happy to be here and be getting strong again. Back on the horse for 2016!!! #weightlifting #comeback #olympics #nevergiveup
