Medical history:
- White Male
- Born 11/22/1982
- 6 feet tall
- History of gout
- History of elevated blood pressure
- Have lifted heavy previously, in high school and after
- Had what I thought were knee issues in past few years which I went to PT for but I suspect it was caused by tightness in glutes and hamstrings. Seems to be better these days
- I also had a case of golfer's elbow about a year ago that I think was due to overcompensating with forearms when doing deadlift and chinups
- Possibly related to my golfer's elbow I also around the same time had what I think was rotator cuff pain, mostly in my right shoulder.
- Both golfer's elbow and shoulder pain have subsided since then. I have done minimal lifting with my arms for the past year or so
- Broke my left wrist (distal radius fracture) on 05/16/2026 and am having fast recovery following surgery
- Always struggled with weight. Used LoseIt! App twice to lose weight
- Went from 245 lb to 186 over the course of about 6 months of loseit in 2022. Since then have gained some of it back and am now hovering around 210-215
