Hello out there...
It's been over a year (give or take a month) since my last personal post.
Trained like a man possessed since last year's Raw Natl's, with a goal of hitting a 500kg Total and a 500lbs Pull as a Raw Masters 3 lifter.
Happy to report that I hit the 500lbs Deadlift at this year's Raw Natl's...missed the 500kg Total (487.5kg), but that's OK. I'm really proud of the work I put in, and the results on the platform.
Unfortunately, I have had a reversal of fortune on more than a few fronts recently, and am facing larger challenges than those in the gym.
Most pressing of these issues is the fact that I have to address a Prostate Cancer diagnosis from 2 years ago. I start treatments this coming week, and that they should conclude in four months time.
Accordingly I have no plans to compete this coming year. I'll continue to train to support my health as I look to treat and defeat(?) this cancer. I'll also reconnect with old friends from my Squash playing days, and plan on playing some old man matches on Monday's and Friday's.
Just wanted to stop by with an update for those who have followed me on my quixotic quest these past few years.
