Now that my injuries are mostly healed up, I took Evans advice and hired an Olympic lifting coach to structure a strength and conditioning program to support my boxing journey. Its extremely humbling when you can barely do these style lifts with a bar alone let alone any significant weight. Ive always been strong for my size but this is a whole new ballgame. This is the first time in forever Ive been excited about lifting because I have a new set of challenges and goals to reach. The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, its impossible to turn back. The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that youre a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. HR
