Mark, your article is totally correct and many of life's circumstances makes it even more totally correct. I began to seriously follow your 'Starting Strength' instructions 5 years ago. On July 14th, 2015, I had my second workout of that week. My overhead press was 140lbs, squat 275lbs and deadlift 350lbs. Unfortunately, two days later I had a grand mal seizure, my only one in my life and landed on a concrete floor. I found out later that migraine headaches and epilepsy are in the same medical family which means if you get migraines you can be susceptible to seizures. I ended up with a crushed shoulder ball, fracture wrist, broken 2 ribs and temporary nerve damage to my left leg. It took 2 months to find the surgeon, Dr. Xavier Duralde, willing to do the necessary surgery to replace the shoulder ball with a prosthetic. The other surgeons refused because it was too serious to try to do. It took another almost 2 months to have the surgery, as they say...when you need the best, you wait for the best. It has been a long road to recovery. I can now overhead press now about 65 lbs which is good because I started rehabbing 3 months after surgery with a 1lb pink dumbbell. A month ago I started doing squats. The problem was finding the correct position for my hand as not to cause any shoulder pain. The rest of the weight training is slow and steady. Thanks for your book, it was the perfect addition to my rehab. Oh by the way, I am turning 65 in 3 months.
