Left elbow injury…Had to cur back***
If you look at the injury list on the right you will see that despite these events..I am still doing full Powerlifting workouts. My shoulder replacement hardware has significantly limited the amount of weight, (especially Bench) but I can still do most movements. I no longer have ANY Rotator Cuff Muscles on my Right Arm-1st replacement used wrong hardware that destroyed all 4 Rotators. This is big…believe me!
** Injuries are described to the right for the purpose of showing one can still workout with these.
** Since 2018 I have followed this Nutrition Plan and have had No Health Issues….not even been sick. No flu No Colds…No nuthin’

Note: The “odd” Dumbell Weights are a result of custom welded DB Handles that add 2# to each DB…so for example 20# becomes “22” etc.
All Barbell weight is in kilos.
Workout weights are converted into “pounds” for the readers convenience.
