GoRuck Challenge

I am happy to report that my shoulder feels great – I bench press without pain. … [I]f you are patient and follow the protocols, you will be very happy with the results.

I reached out to Mark Diaz, in November of 2015, after I barely completed my first “GORUCK- Light” event. At 52, I wasn’t ready to throw in the towel, and slowly let myself get worse and worse each year. I was having issues training due to pain in my left shoulder, knees, and feet. At 53, I am happy to report that my shoulder feels great – I bench press without pain. I Ruck without no pain.

I will say, if you are patient and follow the protocols, you will be very happy with the results. I was seriously considering Hormone Replacement Therapy, but was concerned about the side effects 15 years from now. Mark, thank you.
