    Don't EVER give up

    Tonight something happened at work that I will never forget. I was walking around the restaruate that I worked at, and couldn't help to notice this freak show. This guy must had have 20 inch arms, and veins popping out all over the god damn place. Looked absolutely unreal. Weird part was- he was in a wheel char. I assumed that it was a minor injury and he would be out of it in no time. I began having a conversation with him, and he explained to me that he has been paralyzed from the waist down for about eight years now. This absolutely blew my mind. This guy probably looked better than any BBer I have ever seen in person, and he was totally incapable of using his legs. I only spoked to him for a few minutes but he explained how he was a professional wheel chair BBer. He gave me his website and his story is just unreal. Everyone should have a look at this. It's a real inspiration.

    Very cool!!!

    I remember seeing a guy at a gym I used to go to years ago who had one leg, and could still leg press more than most people in the gym. Very inspirational!

    He must be a TRUE inspiration for A LOT of peoples !!

    My friend who is a UNITED STATES MARINE was shot a little over a year ago and paralyzed because some gutless,spineless dickwad was SCARED and instead of taking a beating he shot him... I just sent him that LINK and he was in total shock he couldn't believe it.. he just told me that BECAUSE of this he is going to look into it further and see if this is something he can get interested in. He does go to the GYM himself... but maybe this will give him something to strive for...


    This is my BOY Jimmy this is the picture we put together for his FLYER for his Benefit show...






    This is him in The Rehab Hospital 3 months after the shooting...




    This is him after purchasing his MODIFIED 300C ... As u can see he has started to rebuild his upper body... His LIFTING is what is keeping him going and I think that this guy Johnny Quinn is going to really make him realize that he can get back into what he loveed despite his LEGS not working...


    Thank you very much ****** !! Not only did you make me happy to be able to share this with him.. it made him happy... APPRECIATE IT DUDE !!

    AWESOME!!!!
    Yes it shows anything is possible with the right mind set. It also shows how lazy most of us are because he has to work 10x harder than any of us.

    I often think (self pity) in the gym how much better shape I would be in if I did not have so much pain in my lower back due to 3 herniated disk and needing a disk fusion and being in constant pain but it's nothing compared to what he has been through.
