TY GARCEAU
And finally, #11 in this series is Ty from St. Petersburg, Florida.
Why do I like working arms? Three years ago I had a very serious injury. I tore my tricep tendon completely off the bone while training. After speaking with doctors I was told I had to have surgery right away to repair this. They said it would be unlikely that I would be able to keep even half my strength let alone lift weights or compete in physical activity ever again.
After my surgery this really brought me down and worried me for weeks. Until one night my Dad and I were talking about my situation and he asked me, “Why are you so worried what doctors, specialists, or others have to say about your injury. Go to the Creator of the universe, the One who made you, and ask Him to take care of the situation and He will!” At that very moment it hit me: What my dad said to me was so right.
I put ALL my time into praying, studying, church, and thanking the Lord. Just trying to get to know him better day by day! I can now say that today I am stronger than I have ever been in my life and have no pains or aches thanks to my Savior Jesus. I do wear a big scar on the back of my elbow, but it is there to remind me nothing is impossible with God!
I recently moved to Florida from Wisconsin to pursue my dream of becoming a professional wrestler. I have been training at the WWE training facility. I also work at Gold’s gym and attend a local church, which is heavily involved in doing outreaches to those in need. I love being there as there is no greater feeling than sharing the love of Jesus and being a part of helping others. Follow my progress at www.tyler-garceau.com
