If I am being honest, over the last few years the gym has taken a back seat to building this brand, building this community and living and breathing @ghostlifestyle. It’s been nothing short of amazing to be a part of and grow with each and every one of you. Obviously this year has been a challenging one for all of us, however i did find myself finally getting back to daily workouts, running, playing sports and feeling great both mentally and physically. Enter...setback. We all deal with them and while some are more difficult than others, they are a necessary part of the process... On the last set of my workout Sunday, I felt a pop, looked down at my right arm and knew right away that something wasn’t right. Sure enough, my right bicep was toast or a “distal biceps tendon rupture” for those medically inclined. Talk about going from high to low in a matter of seconds. After the initial panic subsided, I was left with mixed emotions—frustration, anger and if I am being completely real, somewhat defeated. However, this is a necessary part of the process. Without setbacks, we wouldn’t be who we are today. What I’ve lost physically, I will gain two fold mentally over the next 12 weeks in recovery. Setbacks do not define us, they make us fucking better. The struggles of today can and will become tomorrow’s accomplishments. I am officially out of surgery and on the road to beating where I once was...who knows, might even grow some calves this time around. Brick by brick. Let’s fucking go. #brickbybrick #ghostlifestyle #beseen #chi #chicago #biceps #fml #preachercurlssuck
