An amazing video from Andy Cairney, which documents his road to recovery from a horrific double patella tendon rupture at the Arnold Classic World Championships in Columbus Ohio 2010. Andy was told by medical staff that he would never lift weights again and that he would be in a wheel chair for 6 months, but his determination and courage was such that he was back walking in braces in April and walking unassisted in late May. Unbelievably he started back training in May and performed his first deadlift in July, and first squat in September!! Andy’s first deadlift was at the British Record Breakers in December and since then has competed at the Scottish Powerlifting Championships in Febuary. Andy is now training for the BPO British Powerlfting Championship in April and is aiming for his first strongman competition to be at the NEC body power in May.

Well done on an amazing recovery Andy, and all the best for 2011.

This meant a completely new install of the latest version of the forum software, as it’s a different build entirely and doesn’t qualify for a simple upgrade. What this means is that the database of users and posts from the old forum have been transplanted into this new build, which could mean some loss of either user data, posts or other content that appeared in the original forum.

Also, the old URL for the forums has been changed from http://riotttraining.com/forum/ to the slightly different http://riottraining.com/forums/ – you may have to update any direct bookmarks to the forum you currently use.

I’ve done my best to try and save as much as possible from the original, and apologise for anything that may be lost. However, this update was essential to maintain our users content and information safety.

Hopefully the new forum causes you no problems, and if it does please feel free to contact me through PM.

Scott.
