I know it's nothing to hear of a guy returning to the gym after a hiatus, especially for weight trainers who rarely take time off, or
those who train only with brief breaks (week or two) for vacations
and stuff, but with mind and body I have returned to the gym.
I know, "Big deal," and "We've heard it all before."
That's ok, time will tell.
The important thing is that, mentally, I am there, and those
in the know will tell you that this is most of the battle.
Still have problems associated with getting stabbed in the
forearm in Dec 2009. I have run the gammut of doctors,
specialists, etc., to understand the complexity of the injury
and what to potentially expect, plus the mental angst and so
on of fantismal destruction and annihilation to the purpetrator,
and finally to resolve as the only relevant option for moving
forward.
My true nature has won out, and what led my to the gym 33
years ago has pushed me to the same doorstep last week.
I know, "wow, mrhtbd, two workouts and you are Olympic-ready again," bawahabawahaaa! Yeah, I'm laughing myself, but I am back, sore, and have a new plan. The rest will unravel with time and effort.
Been off since September 2010, but didn't cancel my membership. Stupid, I know, to pay all those months and not use it, but in the back of my mind I knew that once I went through the process of recovery within myself, I would be back at the thing I have loved for several decades.
The new Principal of my high school picked me to work there because of my physique, + certs, but I know the physique part was a major player. When he see's me jacked in August, I'm sure he will have an inward-knod that he made the right decision hiring me among 14 others out of 110 existing teachers.
Other than that, I just plain-ol' love lifting weights, and in the end, that love overrid the pain, suffering, and discomfort of the injury.
My chest is floating, I'm sore from deadlifts, I feel alive again!
