Ezekiel Jackson Blogs About Return From First Major Injury

WWE Superstar Ezekiel Jackson, who has not been seen on WWE television since mid-2012, took to BodySpartan.com to blog about his first torn quadricep, and the road to recovery that he needed to take to get back on television.

Jackson detailed:

“Most people are afraid of injuries. Sadly in anything that has to do with weight training from minute to major; injuries do occur. After suffering my first major injury, a torn right quadricep I hit a wall because so many things happened at once. I literally tore my quad exactly one week after burying my dad and it was my sister’s birthday who died 5 years earlier. She was buried the day before I tore my quad. After meeting with the doctors I was told that I’d be out for 9 months after my surgery. The first thing that hits is a case of uncertainty…and depression; what do you do for 9 months after traveling the world for 2 years?”

He says that he was given an intense training regimen to get him back to the ring as soon as possible. Fortunately for him, he got back well under the estimated time he was supposed to be out for.

“I  looked forward to my Physical therapy in which I was going hard 3 times a week. When I was there my poor therapist actually needed water breaks and rest because I decided to set a goal to recover in 5 months.

I was able to return to the ring 5 months to the day I tore my quad.

So when hurt or injured do not use it as a deterrent to completely stop training, take the time to reveal the true you.

#trulyblessed”

In January, Jackson revealed he would be going in for his third major surgery in four years after he developed a hernia training to return to the ring. There has been no update since then on any plans for him to return to the ring.
