I Deadlifted 300lbs After 20 Years of Back Pain

From ER visits to a 300lb deadlift — this is my story.

For 20 years, I battled chronic low back pain. I’ve been through steroid injections, pain meds, and near-surgery recommendations… until I said enough is enough. In this video, I share how I went from crawling on the floor at 20 years old to deadlifting 300lbs pain-free at 33 — all while raising two kids, coaching PT students, and training for my first marathon.

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and I’ve learned the hard way that healing takes more than just science — it takes patience, trust, and strategy. After a full 2-year break from deadlifting, I rebuilt from the ground up. I started at 65 lbs and slowly progressed, week by week, with zero ego.

🔥 In this video, I cover:
-My full back pain history + triggers
-Why I stopped lifting completely
-How I returned to deadlifts without fear
-My weekly training progression strategy
-Lessons I learned as both a DPT and chronic pain patient

Whether you’re someone who struggles with chronic back pain, a lifter scared of deadlifts, or a parent trying to reclaim strength while managing life.. this video is for you.

This isn’t just about lifting weight, it’s about lifting the weight of fear, limitation, and doubt.
