Manage episode 301794498 series 2303772
You’re never defeated. There’s always a way back. Look inward and look upward for the strength to overcome your toughest days.
Everyone loves a good ole’ fashioned comeback story, especially the team here on the Strong By Design show. Lifelong weight lifter John Self loves a good competition and performing at his very best. But a career ending pectoral tear 5 years ago seemed to be the end of his powerlifting competition days.
Through faith in God and in himself, John persevered and reclaimed his greatness as a World Record Holder lifting more than double his bodyweight in RAW competition.
"It wasn't a giving up thing or a quitting thing... It was just me thinking I'm definitely done now, no more crazy bench pressing." -John Self
