How long did it take you to recover?

Over here, the martial arts are quite popular. Have been for some decades now. Dutch fighters didn't do too bad in Japan back then. They inspired many. Most of those interested want to develop as fast as possible. Same for the muscle department. They go for it and the result is not a few walk from injury to injury.  

Gyms are everywhere, but knowledge is not. Those that have experience tell me it isn't easy to convince young people. Many just don't understand that getting involved is a decision that affects your life. In order to get there as fast as possible, they are prepared to take all kinds of risks. I hope that doctors start giving some advice, as dope has become real big.

When working at the big cat facility mentioned in previous posts, I noticed that quite a few visitors worked for the armed forces and law enforcement. I also talked to a number of fighters. Mike Tyson was very interested in big cats. I heard he's doing shows nowadays. Would you be able to find an interview?

To be honest, it took me nearly a month-and-a-half to start lifting minimal weights again: not heavy, but minimum of what I could do for many reps. Then after three months of this, my biceps fully recovered (albeit a slight itch there for another month) and I started to lift heavy again. So, a total of 4.5 months before I could go back to business again.

Dutch fighters did well in PRIDE and K-1 in the mid-90s' and early 2000s'. I don't know what happened to most of them after that, save for Alistair Overeem. 

Yes, powerlifting does have its risks and obstacles much like any other physical sport. A tiger doesn't stop hunting because its left paw is disarranged, it has to continue to hunt to live. Similar premise here.

I don't know about any interview of any sort, but I will look into what he doing lately.

I will definitely make more storytimes of various events that happened to me, especially during Spring Break! Reply
