Did any of you used to follow 70s Big?

There hasn't been any new content in a couple of years. I jumped on there earlier, and Justin Lascek posted an update at the beginning of May:
70sBig.com
I used to love the content on this site. Everything was always very positive, and Justin's articles would run the gamut from strength to mobility to nutrition to Thanksgiving weight gaining contests. I hope he does well with his recovery.

A handful of years ago content on 70’s Big was hard to come by. You fine folk have been asking where I’ve gone ever since, and now I finally choose to let you know in the face of extraordinary circumstances. I am a United States Army Special Forces soldier, also known as a Green Beret. Ever since I put on the hat, I poured myself into this job in order to prepare for and participate in war.

About one month into the next deployment we were on a combat operation in a very mountainous area. My element conducted a short hault and I discussed how we would clear a set of compounds that were tactically in a disadvantageous area. The area I stood had been cleared by EOD personnel and had foot traffic around the area. I shifted my weight under my ruck, took a step, and was blown up. As my best friends and teammates treated me, I gave them medical instructions to help their care. My teammates were heroes that
day. Despite the initiation of a “troops in contact”, I didn’t die in the dirt in a far away land. Instead, they put me on a helicopter and countless other fine individuals did and continue to do their jobs of caring for me.
I am a double below the knee (BTK) amputee. The fact that my right leg is a BTK is amazing and a testament to the fantastic surgeons at Walter Reed. My testicles were also blown off, so I require testosterone replacement therapy for the rest of my life and whether or not I can have children is an unknown. I work hard every day to improve and will continue doing so. There’s no definitive date because there are too many variables, but I’ll leave the hospital some time later this year.

I really like Justin and have all of his books. I knew he had joined SF and recently had been hurt, but never knew the extent of the injuries. Glad to see he is so upbeat and may God bless him. Not many warriors out there willing to out everything on the line for your country like he was.
