Well what a road, the stroke was over a year ago, Oct 23. I got back into the groove @ Hercules and all is good, but 6 weeks ago I was told I needed another brain scan...NO LIFTING...two weeks before the scan They saw something on a scan in early August before I went to and set a record and several PRs. Scan went well NO RESTRICTIONS!!!! so two weeks ago I hit the Y with Kris Dulmer and deadlifted, worked up to 425 for 3 sets of 6

That was Friday 11/9 on Monday 11/12 at Hercules it was squat day. I am changing to a wide stance from my 27 year narrow stance to better ready for geared lifting…even though I am not all that certain I believe in gear…even though I have purchased it lol

Welcome back to lifting

Welcome back!

If the gear helps you to continue competing - Great!

I have no problems w/ gear as long as the lifts being done are according to the rules, not that you're really concerned about my opinion anyway....

That stroke thing is no big deal. Jesus loves Powerlifters. He was one too ya know. After all he lifted the sins of the world. Our prayers are with you.
