Deadlift Grandpa Makes A Comeback After Doctors Said He Would Never Walk Again
Erik Stevenson is unlike any other grandpa. At 96, he turns heads in the gym when he deadlifts 280 lbs. Though it’s safe to say that he’s stronger and healthier than most other seniors his age, it’s hard to believe that he was a heart attack survivor and once wheelchair bound.
Tragedy struck 40 years ago when he suffered a heart attack while swimming. Paramedics rushed to fish him out of the pool. Unable to detect a pulse, Erik was declared dead for 4 minutes before being resuscitated. Luckily, his life was spared but his passion wasn’t. Due to his weakened heart and body, doctors told him he couldn’t powerlift anymore.
Erik couldn’t bear the thought of losing his only passion in life. So, once he was confident his body has made a full recovery, he eagerly went back into powerlifting. As he was doing a lightweight deadlift, he heard his back pop. His knees went weak causing him to collapse. This sent him right back into the emergency room.
The doctor was right. After the heart attack, his body was just no longer the same anymore. His knees were so weak, they couldn’t support his own body weight. He needed a wheelchair. The doctor then gave him an ultimatum. He must either stop powerlifting or risk being permanently paralyzed. Left with no other choice, he finally accepted that his passion must come to an early end at 56.
“I love powerlifting because I can’t see myself sitting at home doing nothing.”
“Now that I’m forced to give it up, I feel like I’ve lost my purpose in life.”
Unable to come to terms with this, he isolated himself at home. Erik refused to go out as he felt like a burden being pushed around in a wheelchair. Day by day, the pain in his joints worsened. The only way to cope with the pain was to rely on strong painkillers. This sank him into a deep depression.
Little did he know, a trip to China would be a turning point in his life. His son, Trevor was a finalist at the IPF Powerlifting Competition held in Shanghai. As a proud dad, he wanted more than anything to see his son carry on his powerlifting legacy. So, he made a trip to there to witness this joyous moment.
While they were out for a walk, they passed by a foot massage parlour. Seeing that Erik was in a wheelchair, the owner said that their special foot spa will help him get back on his feet.
Erik was in disbelief. Even the doctor said it would take a miracle for him to walk again. But with nothing to lose, Erik gave it a try.
He watched as the owner prepared his foot spa. A tablet was dropped in a tub of water turning it dark brown instantly. Then a strong herbal scent soon filled the room. Although sceptical, he dipped his feet in and soaked for half an hour.
To his surprise, Erik felt an instant relief in the sole of his feet. So, the owner explained to him:
“Your feet are the foundation for your entire body.”
“The joints in our feet bear the whole of our body weight.”
“So, if your joints aren’t properly cared for, which is the case of 3 out of 4 seniors, it will result in wear and tear to the joints which makes us unable to walk or even stand.”
“This is why joint pains are not to be taken lightly as they can cause permanent disability.”
“For over 3000 years in China, ginger extract and Epsom salt have been used to treat joint pains.”
“Our foot spa infuses the exact goodness of these medicinal properties.”
“Not only does it help improve blood circulation and relieve stiffened joints, but it also flushes out toxins and reduce inflammation.”
“Once fully absorbed through the skin, walking will be pain-free again.”
Hearing this, Erik decided to try it out for himself. After all, he was in desperate need of a permanent pain relief. So, he bought his own supply of tablets back home and used it every night.
Incredibly after just 3 days, the pain in the joints of his feet went away. In a week, he could stand without any support. By day 10, he didn’t even need the wheelchair anymore. He was walking again, painlessly!
Even the doctors couldn’t believe his recovery. Erik was able to lead a normal life again. He no longer locked himself at home but rather spent time with his grandkids. He even went for jogs around the park.
2 weeks later, he tried getting into powerlifting again. Initially, he started light with only half the weights he’s used to. But within 2 months, he regained all his strength. From 80 lbs all the way to 250 lbs which was his peak.
Now at 96, he deadlifts more than he used to, at 280 lbs! This powerhouse of a grandpa puts all the other youngsters at his gym to shame. They even nicknamed him “Deadlift Grandpa” in awe of him.
“This foot spa changed my life. I’m 96 but I feel like I’m 30 again!”
“I just wish I knew about this foot spa earlier.”
“I’ve been suffering from joint pains for the longest time and I could’ve relieved the pain in just a matter of minutes with this foot spa.”
This ginger extract and Epsom salt-infused foot spa is widely used all over the world as a natural healing agent and pain reliever. Medical scientists have even proven that with regular use, the benefits are endless.
