Had to share a brag post about my client Matthew Hewson 👏
We have been working together for several years now. And he had a tougher than usual back injury to overcome. Deadlifts were a challenge- after years of working through back pain. Most people would have given up and laid on the couch. And he may or may not have been given that advise.
But he didn’t settle for that. And here he is crushing 420. 🔥
To say he had some frustrating days with the back would be understating it. But he was tough- I mean VERY mentally tough. 🤯
He asked me what I would advise and went to work on it. He learned how to move his back and brace properly. He was patient with the process to allow his back strength to catch up to his already strong legs from years of cycling and skiing. It took hard, gritty, fearless work. If you have tried to lift with back pain- you know what I mean.
Proud of all he overcame.
He added a 170 press PR and a 405 squat PR to this training block too. 😎
It’s an honor to watch him woek everyday. Congratulations, sir 🫡
