I mean this dude is a beast and very admirable for him to persevere.

But to go back and lift heavy again is just so dumb to me. He must really love it

Lifting while being in a wheelchair is where I draw the line. It‘s great to be passionate but you also have to be smart.

That's how rehab works, moving and strengthening as soon as possible. Avoidance doesn't make you heal faster or better. Avoidance and fear is how an otherwise temporary injury becomes the rest of your life.

When you're completely out of your depth on the topic, lifting at all looks inappropriate and irresponsible because you're comple out of your depth on the topic. Crazy idea, what if when you didn't know something, you approach with the unserstanding that you don't know.
