To my brothers and sisters of iron. Most of you know who I am and some don't, this has been a real test for me this year,I pushed really hard this year to get the numbers, my goal is never to beat anybody in particular but to do a personal best. It only started out wanting a couple of trophies.I didn't really think it was gonna go this far,I have done too many meets from 10/08 to 11/09 that's nine meets in 13 months I'm wore out. I don't know how much more is left in the tank,or how far I can go,or if I will be back next year to compete I've got alot on my plate.Most of you know I'm an Iraq war vet who has p.t.s.d and t.b.i.and this sport has helped me through alot of issues with that.The worst is the sleep deprivation about 6.5 hours sleep a night,eating and sleeping is the other half of lifting and I don't get enough sleep. I also work 50 plus hours a week,plus guards and lifting 4 days a week,plus traveling to doctors appointments,plus trying to spend time with the family,I'm burned out.Aren't you all glad that I just bored the hell out of you with my personal problems.All I'm saying is if I compete next year I will give the A.D.A.U everything I got and if I don't I will still support the A.D.A.U. I don't forget where I came from.My favorite saying in powerlifting is "Get Jacked Up"!!!!!!!!! Your brother in IRON. Doug Mignot
