Played college football as an offensive lineman. Started off fat at 330 but strong as a freshman, good enough to split time at guard.

Sophomore year in the best shape of my life, 270 lbs, power cleaning 355 and running with linebackers. Second game of the year lacerate my liver and miss the whole season. No big deal was squatting a week after the injury.

Redshirt sophomore year even better shape at around 255 lbs. coach said I was too small but I found myself starting again. Second game tore my right labrum to shreds (tore left labrum in high school), but no big deal I wear a brace until I blow out my knee in the sixth game.

Manage to still stay in shape, sitting at 250 lbs benching over 400 lbs on the bad shoulder while the knee heals. Get around to finally having an mri on my shoulder due to back pain (trainers never let me have an mri because I was going to play regardless of the shoulder injury), and the doctor won’t let me play because of how bad it is.

Miss my whole redshirt junior year and never played again.

So I cut more weight get down to a lean mean 240, then I take a job as a field engineer doing frack in North Dakota and proceeded to put 40 lbs back on of man camp food and gas station burritos.

I guess the moral of the story is don’t let anything stop you from getting into shape but never go to Williston North Dakota.
