Mike Thurston started lifting in his garage during university holidays because he couldn't afford a gym. His dad watched him train and worried a swollen lump on his neck came from overtraining, but it turned out to be mumps.

we had like the holiday time from university, I didn't have enough money to join a gym, so I just had like a basic setup in my garage. Yeah. And my dad was like, weird guy, always going into the garage for an hour, just like lifting weights. I remember lifting weights. I woke up one day with this massive lump on the side of my neck, and my dad was like, see what you doing? Like, this is from going to the gym, you're pushing yourself too hard. I was like, fuck it, maybe I've pulled something. And I went to the doctor and it was mumps.
