Powerlifting Career and Injury
September 30, 2020
And so did that until I was 14, then went into powerlifting. So I started doing powerlifting for football and also because we built a really good team that pretty much dominated every single meet we went to. Then when I went to college, I kept up with it a little bit, but I kind of fell out of powerlifting, went into bodybuilding, decided I didn't like that, went back into powerlifting. And that was back in the 90s, in early 2000s, where people were using all the supportive equipment, and I didn't like it. I was the dumbass that I would buy a really extreme shirt, and I wouldn't put it on until the meet, and then I would mess myself up. I almost broke both my elbows in a bench press contest, and that was the last meet I ever had because I put on an Enzo Rage X and dumped, I think it was 480 in my lap, and the spotters didn't get it in time. And at that point, I went, man, screw this, because I was getting beat by guys that I was stronger than, but they were stronger in the shirt. So I said, screw this, and I left. And it got into things like strongman, and then I went back to bodybuilding, but I went to men's physique, and then I got bored with that. I've got a bit, my ADD doesn't allow me to do much for very long before I get bored.
