It was one of the reasons that I started to do the Olympic lifts was to rehab the hip injury and to regain my balance. I thought my career was over. I wanted to increase my flexibility. I started my weightlifting career. I can't run like I used to.
Long distances are a big problem.
In high school, I worked out for football but not like I do now. At 19 years old I did a 705 pound squat. I haven't really maxed out lately, but with a little training I bet I could be in the low eights with no problem. During my third season. No, it was a red shirt sophomore year, then the injury came.
