I wanted to do something a bit different tonight and source some thoughts from the community. 🙏🏻 We all know Strength comes in many forms, and sometimes it looks radically different than we may expect. What are some of the greatest moments of Strength you have witnessed in others or in yourself? How do these moments carry you forward in your daily Pursuit? It’s important we keep these moments close in our hearts in the times we face the greatest Challenge ❤️‍🔥

Hello all. I am a R BKA (ERTL), and have been attempting powerlifting since my amputation May 2021. I am 60 years young (OG GEN X), but feel 35’ish most days. I do wish the Paralympic powerlifting was 3 lift as I will struggle to be competitive with 500+ weights on the bench. Not for lack of trying of effort 🤫. I had my squat to 465, but struggle to break the hip crease / knee plane. Any ideas I can pursue? I have a dedicated gym leg with a Biodapt foot. I use vacuum suspension. I just cannot seem to get that extra 2 inches of drop. Regardless if I ever truly meet my powerlifting goals, I support and applaud any amputee that puts in any effort to make themselves stand out. I use David Goggins quote amended to the amputee community: “Be uncommon among the uncommon”. Thanks for the forum and the opportunity for athletes to have a place to come together. Steve

The woven web of fate. Underneath the Tree of Life, Yggdrasil; they remember the past, to weave the thread of the present, to present us a future for the choices we make. The past, Urðr, is the sister of remembrance, and reminder, for previous deeds. She allows us to look upon the choices we have made in the past, good or bad, for what we can plan for the future. Today, I want to focus on how we look upon the past. There is the perspective of looking upon our past with focus and precision, or a perspective of which we utilize foggy lenses and disdain. I have experience in the practice of both of these methods. And I am here to tell you, that the former vista is much more useful and practical. And this may not be a surprise to most, seems logical to not judge past actions with the executioners sharpest of blades. But I assume many still have, and I am one of them. To elaborate, I have claimed the position of judge, jury and executioner for the place of mind I had found myself in many times, during my first upgrade in treatment. May 2022, I was alerted of a necessary increase in toxicity of chemo, due to the first attempt of treatment not being sufficient. This hurt me on a Marianas Trench level. And I remember deeply that moment; I was in a sushi restaurant on Michigan Avenue in Chicago with a very near and dear friend of mine. Thankfully I was not alone for this news. Because the next three and a half months were hell for me. And as I look back onto the woven threads of my choices and mindset, sitting alone in a bedroom and feeling like a professional boxer was taking round-after-round punching me in the gut; that I have been extremely harsh in my retrospection towards Austin in those moments. For the wicked thoughts that coursed my mind, for the music choices of which only buried me deeper in depression and existentialism, and the lack of will to face a very difficult task. I carried the task of surviving a round of treatment, that was meant to destroy many things.

Hey everyone! We have a new episode live for Skool members only right now! We had an amazing conversation with Curtis Miller and learned so many things about how to truly handle yourself both on and off the platform. Curtis is the coach who helped me get to a 500 lbs squat, and any athlete that has worked with him will tell you he’s the best in the game. The individual attention he gives to every aspect of his athletes’ journeys is beyond any coach I’ve encountered. Definitely check this one out, it is incredibly valuable for anyone whether you are a Powerlifter or not. 🙏🏻 Thank you guys for listening, and as always…Be Impossible! ❤️‍🔥 https://youtu.be/V_C1yPdNAJs?si=LNkMJC8lh7B_bRjW
