Jeremy Buendia lost his gains and found his way back.
Adversity is something that is apart of life. Whether you like it or not, realizing that you’ll face struggle at some point in your life is half the battle. That means you can prepare your mind to deal with the rough times ahead and push through them in order to achieve the things you want.
When an athlete suffers an injury a few things happen. First there’s the grieving process, the feeling of helplessness in the situation. Then there’s the wonder if you’ll ever return to your former glory. Then there’s the all too important phase of do I just call it quits and feel sorry for myself or do I get back onto the horse and push through. For Jeremy Buendia it’s obvious that he had to do this same soul searching before eventually getting back into fighting form.
The four time Men’s Physique Olympia champion had suffered a truly terrible injury that initially took all his gains and threw them in the garbage. That kind of adversity can be truly crushing to say the least, but Jeremy Buendia battled back and has now begun to return to the beast that he was before the injury sidelined him.
Jeremy Buendia recently took to Instagram to make a pretty inspirational post that saw him show what his physique looked like immediately after surgery and how he’s been able to battle back.
