575lb Beltless Pull Last Night.

Last night I was laying there, struggling with tons of thoughts that were racing through my head. Questioning myself about past decisions & future decisions.
.
The one thing I realized after laying there for hours, was that I truly have revolved my life around fitness & even more so into Powerlifting. What everyone doesn’t see is the daily struggles I have to go through (PAIN-physical & mental) to just be able to train.
.
If most of you haven’t noticed I train later in the evening. The reason for that is because I personally have to rest my body everyday just to be able to get that next training cycle in. I am sacrificing so much time from other things in my life just for 2-3 hours in the gym to train, that only leads into a total of maybe 3 min on a platform when it’s comp time.
.
As I continue to think of this, I then realize that I am possibly pushing myself into a wheelchair at an earlier age than I expected! Do I really think that? Absolutely, hell I can fucking feel it! Me dragging my ass out of bed, putting on my prosthetic which my limb is usually sore from the training session the day before, wobbling down the hall as I have the walls help hold me up as I get this battered bodies joints and muscles moving. Without a doubt this shit sucks, because I deal with it every single day for over 8 years now!
.
I get questioned all the time “do you think what your doing is worth it” I get told hundreds of times “do you know you’re only making yourself worst” and as I continue to lay there and run all this through my head.
.
-Is it worth it?
-Is this what I want?
-Am I a bad dad for possibly shortening my mobility as I get older?
-Will this lead to anything?
-Will everything be gone if one day the iron finally wins and puts me out of this sport & fitness
.
And as I’m thinking this, a message pops up and for some reason I click it. It was a young man telling me how I’ve helped save his life, change his life and if it weren’t for me doing what it is that I do, he doesn’t know where he would be.
.
That right there was enough for me. So bring on the wheelchair when it’s time! I’m not scared!
