Yeah, being almost 50 I sometimes fantazise about training again for fun,but then I'm like why? body feels great, I can still work the bag, and while training can be fun, i have no desire to be man on man anymore, beep. Had staph on my calf years ago that had me on IV antibiotics, still have a big scar. A bud almost lost a thumb due to a stanky hockey glove.

I'll be 55 this year and in the last 5 years my training has become 100% different.
More about me and just enjoying myself.

Masturbating during warm ups?
More like having a nap at the side of the mat whenever I feel like it.

I swear he said he lost something like 35lbs, that can't be right. Looks at least 50-60.

Heard he hit 135, probably walks around 185, so it math's up.
When I shattered my hip I was in the best shape of my life and a solid 205.
First time I could stand on a scale 3 weeks later I was 168. It goes fast.

Scary how fast it goes. Hope when my time comes that muscle memory is a real thing
Here's the full interview @Wild posted a clip from. Ben says the symptom that sent him to the hospital was what he thought was a back spasm. Remembers checking into the hospital, then next thing he knows he's waking up from double lung transplant. Crazy.

What a great attitude he has. Always positive, always grinding. "I could be dead. That's the other option".

Unreal how much weight and muscle he lost in 60 days. With his work ethic and grit, I bet he looks back to normal by Christmas.
One of these updates he shared a clip of how he looked before he got sick. He was jacked to the gills.

Its going to take a long time to put muscle back on.
Question Ben's work ethic & commitment again and see what happens.
