No limitations. It's still a focus and emphasis in terms of what I'm doing in the weight room. [But it] hasn't given me any issues. It was a rude awakening turning 30 [this past April] and having back issues within a month. Father Time is undefeated."

So I figure in the next couple weeks, I'll be graduating to 5-on-5. I feel great."
