Ben’s story: “From back surgery and chronic debilitating pain… to running, lifting, and moving freely again, I have my life back.
5 years ago, I herniated 2 discs (L4-L5, L5-S1) doing a clean + jerk. I couldn’t walk for weeks due to pain. I became obsessed with recovery and healed fairly quickly, but relapsed with worse pain a few years later after a chiropractic adjustment sent electric pain shooting down my leg and completely debilitated me.
For years, I spiraled with pain, anger, fear, depression, drinking, and debt. I dropped out of university and spent two years living in fear, blaming others, and feeling stuck in the past. Out of desperation, I got a microdiscectomy. I expected everything to change. It didn’t. A year post-surgery, still unable to run, lift, or feel normal, I joined the Limitless Programme.
Having been a fan of .shirtlessdude on IG, I loved his meticulous approach, recognizing that you do have control despite chronic pain when everything tells you that you don’t. The daily structure of the Limitless workouts helped me chip away at sciatica, back, hip, and full body pain pain, rebuild my strength, relearn how to move and lift, and ultimately get my life back.
What changed everything?
• Structure- a clear, step-by-step plan forward
• Community- pain is isolating, but I wasn’t alone anymore
• Honesty- accepting where I was became the first step to changing it Most importantly, I learned from Whealth that you have a choice in chronic pain.
Now, I’m lifting again, playing sports with friends, saying YES to life… and a few months ago, I’m ran my first marathon to the hospital where I had surgery—**to show people in chronic pain what’s possible. Every day isn’t easy. But living pain-free is no longer the goal. Being stronger than yesterday is.” - Ben Torrens, UK
