Malakai Black was considering retirement due to a back injury as recent as three months ago.
Taking to his TikTok, Black posted a video of himself working out and getting treatment on his back. You can read Black’s full caption for the Tik Tok below.
“Till about 3 months ago I was dealing with a back injury I was convinced was going to force me into retirement, but after a literall year of treatment that went from working to complete failure on several occassions we all of a sudden hit the correct vertebrae during a dry needling session and everything released. From there we were able to rehab and strengthen. You can check video 2 for this horrendous view and my personal reaction to it. However, allowing me now a few months later to slowly move back into deadlifting and a few more compound moves.”
