Short term: get down to my height from hs and college: 170. Long term: strengthen my shoulder to get back into that shape and maintain it. I wrestled and played football - ending up tearing my rotator cuff, the connections across my neck, and my bicep and tricep on one arm. 4 surgeries in 2 years left me sitting on my butt…

I am doing both now. I started at 240 (in my profile pic) and am now 205 with a goal of 175.
