"So, 4 months ago (Jesus has it been that long?!) I had surgery to reattach my bicep after ripping it off in my last competition. I had a goal to finish the year back on the platform again, but there were days up until maybe 8 weeks ago I was too frightened to pick up an empty bar, and I never imagined I would actually be lifting at my best ever, with a 25kg increase to my total. Big thanks to everyone who has helped me get back to doing the only thing I really know how to. Penny Clark for the monumental task of basically taking care of everything in my life that I often take for granted so I can just get on with doing what I inexplicably need to. I'm useless and would have starved to death by now without you
