dude thats awesome, great progress... but gotta question, how do you manage doing a lot of exercises while in the wheel chair, or do you substitute by using smith machines...?

Exactly.

OP... I'd go for some more size all around if I were you. Take a look at that link I quoted for some extra motivation!!

Looking lean, ripped and with good size, though! More would definitely not hurt!!

Keep up the hard work!!!!

[layzee_git]

you've got that far, so just keep pounding, keep eating, or whatever else it is youre doing, youre doing it right!

enough said, best of luck

Wow, I think you're doing an incredible job so far. From what I see, your weakest point is your back - if you add some more mass there, I think your proportions will be perfect. Besides that, everything's looking good. Your shoulders are looking especially insane in the fourth pic.

u blind?


His right arm is obviously bigger than his left.

Back is lacking a little as well.

Constructive criticism aside, you're fuccking jacked, keep that **** up. The painful irony is that most people that can walk are fat and out of shape, you can't and you're doing a better job.

props

[Officer_Iron]

You look awesome man. Congrats.

thats funny because midway towards my training my right arm was lagging compared to my left, so i focused more on my right, then my right just picked up way more than my left, and yeah i thought so too that i need more mass and dimension in my back. thanks mayhem for keepin it real.

well my core is pretty strong, so i manage to balance my self on alot of the machines, some of the free weights, and if the seats are too skimpy i'll use a weight belt to tie myself up, and i do use the smith machine too. its a real good machine for people in wheelchairs, well thats my opinion at least.

[MMAfighter1]

dude thats awesome, nice progress man definately keep up what your doing !

[billyblanks]

simply amazing, you have an incredible physique


best of luck to you in the future

[TurboNeon]

well done!

Do what you need to do and screw everybody else, brosef.

And don't listen to anyone who hates on the smith machine. It's like people who hate on wearing gloves, or using straps or chalk or belts. Everything has its place in the gym.

As far as I'm concerned the Smith Machine is a great tool when utilized properly.

OP have you ever heard of Charles Glass? Do a search on this site, there are around five or six training videos where he coaches someone through some of his exercise variations, for all muscle groups. You might want to take a look into it and read some articles regarding him and some of his training philosophies. He knows his ****. You will most likely have to change up how you would do some of these exercises, for obvious reasons, but it's definitely worth looking into.

[Super Man]

Awesome shape man.

What kind of cardio do you do if any at all?

[shanedawg]

legs?



jk looking good

[Sparsky1]

No joke, thats awesome dude.
Inspiring!

[heavytwenty]

You look badass.

What kind of routine are you doing?

I might have an impending knee surgery, which is why I'm curious.
