What's going on everybody? We're back with the real bodybuilding podcast and I'm here with one of the greatest bodybuilders ever to grace the stage?

Dennis Wolf, how are you sir?

Who what? Thank you very much sir. Thanks for having me and I'm doing well, just done with my, yeah, third third

physiotherapy session this week, so everything is going well I feel really good I'm in a six week

both surgery so everything is just okay let's get into that actually you know what I was going to wait but since you

brought it up let's talk about that I don't know exactly what happened because I

know you had a major injury a few years back.

I don't know exactly what it was and where you've gone from there.

So maybe you want to kind of tell me what about, like what happened to kind of put your

career to a halt?

Yeah, well, um... to kind of put your career to a halt.

Yeah, well, that was a pretty, pretty nasty time, I would say, looking back on the time.

It happened in 2016 so it was pretty weird feeling doing the

workouts so my left side didn't work pretty well so I didn't get the connection to the muscles as I used to you know so and I

started worrying about and you know didn't know what what to do and I went to a lot of physiotherapists and they figured it's not the shoulder, it's probably the neck.

So I went to a doctor and you know, of course I did all the MRIs and they figured that yeah my cervical spine is pretty much damaged.

From C4 on going over C5, C6 and C7. So that was, yeah, I mean it was a huge thing for me, you know. I was right away on thinking, you know, that that's going to be the end of my career, but trying to, you know, stay focused on the issue, stay focused on the, yeah, on the work I have to do.

Yeah. And then, yeah, was it, was it something that you gradually like did you did you feel the muscles

Slowly start to atrophy or was it something abrupt that all of a sudden you just couldn't feel one side of your body?

You know I couldn't feel that my one part of my body in my left

side when I was doing like rows or something like this it was not connecting so like for example if you pull right so everything goes straight normal you feel everything yeah but the left side was going like okay you know

to the side no no connection no contraction to the muscle at all.
