    Paraplegic Bodybuilder here...

    Hey guys,

    Im new to this board,but i've been on and off the boards for 10years now.i was wondering if there are any other Para's on here? if so,i wouldn't mind talkin to ya.i trained for a few years when i was 16-18 and did one 12 week cycle of t200/cypionate and gained pretty good.i stopped traininig for a few years due to other health problems(Cystic Fibrosis if any of you know what that is,lung disease)and 3 years ago i was in a car accident and now im in a wheelchair for the rest of my life,but i ain't quit yet.

    i've gotten back into lifting in the past 6 months and plan on competing at least a few times,hope to meet a few bro's in the process.

    My friends trains also. He has to very careful with what he takes because of all his meds. He says his med that keeps his legs from shaking is tough to mix with other things. He's going to take some winny before summer, see how that goes. I would honestly speak with your doctor about it.

    yeah i prolly take the same thing he does for his legs,so i'll check with my doctor on that on specifically,but as far as the rest it all depends on what i decide to go with and what i am actually able to get.thanks for the welcome guys!

    well,to top it off.i had my accident in '05 in June and my sister died in Sept.the same year.so i was pretty ****in numb to the world for about a year.but now im back and i want to get back to the old me before all the bullshit happened in my life.i was young when my first sister died,so i guess it didn't affect me until later on,but i was closer to my second sister so it was harder.it's been 3 years almost since my car accident and i've realized that the only time i had any stability in my life is when i was bodybuilding,so thats what im gonna do!
