Legitimacy first, then greatness. Adam Skillin is a competitive powerlifter.

Miley approves. For real though, one month out and back to three plates, wow.

Yeah, it's weird to think back to the day when sitting on the couch for a few hours was a huge accomplishment and realize it was literally last month. The human body can do some really odd and amazing things when it's forced to. Thanks for stopping by.

35 days post-injury.

Squat: 315 x 5 x 3
Press: 145 x 5 x 2, 7 x 1
Deadlift: 435 x 5

New Sabo Deadlifts came today, I laced them up between sets of squats and used them for the presses and deadlifts. So far so good. Rep 7 on the press and rep 5 on the deadlift were both truly grindy-ass reps.

Never Stop Grinding.

inspiring stuff, Adam!

Wow, thanks guys. From my point of view, the rehab process has been mostly annoying and occasionally a little scary, but "inspiring" never came to mind.

You would have done the same thing, don't deny it. It's light day, you'd be more concerned if they were heavy reps.

You're still a bastard.
