Sometimes a word of hope can be life-changing

Hi all, i had sustained a minor back injury (like 2 slight disc protrusion in my lower back) while doing my squats(75kg due to carelessness) back in january. I tried to rehab it on my own(started to more lower back focused exercises). But after 2-3 weeks i gave up on being an expert on my own and got diagnosed with the disc protrusion.

This injury shattered my mental health, coz the doctor had explicitly forbidden from touching any heavy weight. Yet one of my gym wala bhaiya, he gave me the words of assurance that i will be lifting heavy weights if i do my rehabilitation properly.

So for next 2-3 weeks, i religiously did my rehabilitation and started from basics in the gym.

And in last sunday, i competed in powerlifting competition of my college sports fest(140kg squat).
