POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Pivotal moment— The last time I deadlifted 405 lbs & then proceeded to RDL the 2nd rep of the weight was actually when I took this shirtless selfie, which was 2 months before I got diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia— one of the most aggressive forms of cancer— on 5/14/24

Also, fun fact— not to brag— objectively… “very advanced” level strength for a 195lbs man— just putting it out there since I just decided to pursue being an IPTA-Certified Personal Trainer & NSCA-CSCS as a side hustle other than ABA Behavioral Therapy as a Career— just for my “lore” lol

So it’s been a Long time, A LONG TIME— since I’ve been “physically” able to have my original strength back
& boy oh boy, has it been a journey since!
Complete remission and character growth and Faith in God & everything in between— and honestly… I’m grateful for it all, truly, truly

The second pivotal moment within the first picture was when I finally took advice from the amazing woman in my life and finally stopped using three-in-one shampoo 😂😂😂within my hair, which really explains the terrible hairstyle, the terrible hair dye, & the terrible haircut, within the first picture, so yeah, really the lesson is to listen to the woman in your life
Thank God for them, truly

The preceding pictures show my pretty cool physique pre-cancer, and they will be the landmarks I strive to surpass as I move forward. Thank you, you all— for being a part of my journey and for being the foundation for moving forward—so, again :) thank you. Selah. Selah.
