I started out power lifting when I was younger nothing phenomenal had a 535 raw bench 600 squat and 600 deadlift. Ended up blowing my right tricep twice and left once requiring surgery o repair. Hurt my left shoulder playing"flag" foot ball lol which ended up causing it to be replaced 5 years later.Slowly got heavier started around 240 ended up somewhere above 335 that's just the highest I saw on scale quit looking after that. I had ruptured my l-5/s-1 disc and got to the point where I would have to stop every 25 feet or so when walking from back pain.Had back surgery in February of 2011 they had to take part of stomach a tumor had attached to during surgery .I dropped from 335lbs to 210 lbs on stage at 40 years old for my first competition. Competed 3 times then had to stop because of left shoulder it got to point I couldn't train it hardly at all and couldn't hit most of my upper body mandatory poses because shoulder had been locked up so bad. On Dec 9 th 2014 I had my left shoulder humeral head replaced and my glenoid cavity reamed out, they had to detach anterior head of delt and some of the pectoral tie in tendons to perform this. Over the next 16 months I slowly rehabbed my shoulder spending the first few months just waving my hands around in the gym regaining range of motion.
Well I finally got back on stage on May 7 th at the Nor-cal Classic .I placed second in the open heavies and second in the masters over 40. Should have been drier and leaner but over all just happy I was able to get back on stage and I felt it was the best I have brought to date. Posting pics shortly. I was 220 lbs this contest.
