My friend keenan is going to deadlift 600 before he turns 40. That's not to say 40yr olds cant gain strength or deadlift 600. Quite the opposite. We've been collectively hurt a lot over the last 12 years. Deadlifting 600 is crossing into territory where we are putting our bodies on the line for an arbitrary goal. The number is arbitrary because we are not powerlifters. No one will or should give a shit besides us. The push to get this record in now is because an injury along this path probably still will not come equipped with long term injuries.
My first disc was a reality check. It took me 3 months to move normally. 2 years to lift heavy again. 4 years before i was pain free. Thats a tall fucking order.
Although my latest and greatest lasted a fraction of the time, im still recovering from something major. Im still vulnerable. Im still mitigating what is long term and what is just painful now.
You can always bounce back. Normal movement is likely in your grasp. But like being brought back bt the lord of light. What gets chipped away in the process?
