About 9 months ago, after attempting a 200kg deadlift, I injured my back. Rendering me injured and hurt like a dog on the streets. From lifting a respectable 180kg deadlift to hardly being able to lift 50kgs off the ground. Devastating times.

Today, I count my blessings and thankfulness for being injury free and relatively stronger than I was last year.
The PRs above reflect some great wisdom, guidance, and technical knowledge from friends and coaches at Pushmore. I took the short time to reflect upon this and realised how much I've improved over the year and recent months.

Today, I'm bigger, stronger, and (relatively) faster than ever through the Crossfit program. It's not for everyone. Yet, it could be. It requires a different outlook, new set of determination and passion for the craft embedded within it.

With that said, here's to more days of power, less injuries and better life ahead. Peace to all.
