Hi readers. Just a quick note to say I'm still here in 2021, and still training.
Thankfully I'm passing almost 6.5 years since my decompression surgery with no new leg pain, and passing 6 years since I've been training in olympic weightlifting. 2020 was obviously a challenging year for everyone, and I did have some hip and lower back soft tissue injuries while training early last year, but I worked through those and they were pretty much unrelated to my spondy.
I managed to compete twice in late 2020 in online competitions, and hit a PR in my clean and jerk (108kg / 238 lbs) and came within 2kg of my 2019 competition PR in the snatch at 86kg (189 lbs). Planning to compete online this year until the vaccine is more widely distributed and in person competitions become more prevalent again.
Hope everyone is able to exercise and train through their spondy and the pandemic.
Stay well and stay safe!
