DAY 237 _ To my people who are watching and reading this.. _ Please, please.. _ Never give up on your goals.. _ Never give up on your problems.. _ Fight through them! ************************* I’m so thankful for today.. _ Under PT’s orders, I am not supposed to bench bar to chest for a year straight.. (we will see how long that last 😂🙃 #rebel ✊) _ To combat this, I got a @benchblokz to keep me from letting the bar touch... and what a difference it makes! _ Wow 😮 _ I got to say, I was impressed by my performance today. _ Although, I’m still relatively tight in my shoulder socket where the surgery took place, my shoulder handled itself pretty well. _ Throughout the process of acclimating myself back to training, every time I’m in the gym I want to push myself harder and harder.. _ But I have to remember that the slow pace will eventually win the race! _ I’d say today was a huge win and I’m very thankful. _ Full video coming sometime in the week so be looking out for it! _ As a lifter who knows the art of benching, your shirt rising up is actually a good thing because it lets you know that your shoulders are tight, your hips are stable, and your back is nicely arched! _ _ Shoutout to @kindlycarved for trying to keep my shirt down anyways 😂😂😂 _ _ _ #NeverGiveUp #BeUnbreakable #MyRecoveryJourney #WinYourDay #BenchBlokz _ Hat by @1stphorm _ Shirt by @1stphorm (at Cincinnati)
