Hip Replacement
"I had my procedure on March 3rd, 2014 and went back to very mild weight lifting after about 6 weeks and then returned to a modified training schedule after 12 weeks.

I am extremely grateful to be able to continue to train and expect to go back to competing in the very near future."
