Q&A with Nick Scott - IFBB Wheelchair Pro

[punjabimunda]

Are you completely independent (like taking showers and dressing)?
Can you get around by walking or driving?
And did working out help with getting back your legs, or are you still working on it?

WOW it would be amazing if you could start walking again, but is that possible?

[OthelloMuscleGi]

Incredible. Just one question! What days do you do legs?

and how fast do you run a 40?

Thanks, -Oth

[TheBeastWCBB]

I haven't watched all of the videos yet, just the main one and checked out the photos but that brought some tears to my eyes for sure, very inspirational. You sir, have earned more respect than can even be described.

Amazing People like you really put things into perspective!

Thank You! It killed me inside for years dealing with what I was going through... It's hard to look at the bright side sometimes LOLOL But you just have to deal with it the best you can because life can change for anyone at any time...

[TheBeastWCBB]

These are GREAT Nutrition Tips!

[TheBeastWCBB]

That is one transformation. How did you do it? Congratulations man.

The nutrition really played a key role in my transformation but lots of cardio and hitting the weights hard. Sticking with it is what will get you the results...

you are an amazing person man. Inspiration to all of us.

Thank You!

A true insperation. If I ever feel as though I can not do it, I watch one of the videos and it gets me pumped up. A true motivator you are my friend.

Thanks, I'm curious what will happen down the road... I keep striving to be the best that I can be. I will keep at this whole Wheelchair Bodybuilding and see how far I can take it!

WOW it would be amazing if you could start walking again, but is that possible?

Yes, I am independent lol There are ppl out there that need help but if you watch some of my videos of me lifting the weight I do and move the way I do, you would think I would be able to put on my pants lol. I can walk short distances but I use the chair 95% of the time. As for driving, I use hand controls.

Yes, I still do rehab on my legs with weights and do cardio with my legs 1 1/2-3 hours a day for 6 days a week. I've been doing rehab for over 10 years and every year it just keeps getting more intense. Will I ever fully walk again, only time will tell. But I am grateful for where I am at, because it could have been a lot worse...

Incredible. Just one question! What days do you do legs?

and how fast do you run a 40?

Thanks, -Oth

Right now I do a 2 day on 1 day off 3 day on 1 day off with weights.
Thur is always Shoulders & Traps
Mon Morning - Back - Mon Night - Biceps & Forearms
Tue Morning - Chest - Tue Night - Triceps
Wed OFF
Thur - Shoulders & Traps
Friday - Legs
Sat Morning - Back - Sat Night - Biceps
Sun OFF
Mon Morning - Chest...... and so on

40... hmmmmmmm Probably 20-40 seconds LOLOLOLOL

[overkill21]

watching those vidoes got me thinking. to anyone who says they dont have the time, they dont have the body, they dont have what it takes to become built, they are liars to themseleves and others.

keep it up man!!!!!!

[HardgainerTips]

[koh19]

[VegasLife]

Wow Outstanding!

Man, that hit a soft spot with me.

[Biddle]

Wow, I am glad this is the first thing I looked at after joining this site.

Truly amazing bro.

[acendut]

if I may ask, how long do you take to transform your body?

and btw, you are what motivation really meant.. thx..

[jaycphipps]

[Zody]

WOW!! I'm speechless!!

Truly inspirational!!

[TheFalsetto]

Bruv, you well, and truly have just SMASHED IT.

A true inspiration, if I dont get a six pack by the end of this year, I dont deserve any of the finer things in life.

[q2bm9]

Wow this is great to watch.

Can you walk now, or still struggle?

Repped. That is amazing dedication. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me.

[Coke_Zero]

Amazing.

How has the rehabilitation going with walking? You could see a change in the video from the first time to the time you got up on stage, but how has it gone since?

How was it doing exercises without your legs to stabilise yourself? Do you find that it actually benefits you by making you use other muscles more?

[TheBeastWCBB]

i dont even know what to say. the amount of respect i have for you cant be put into words. your dedication and strength inspires me more than anyone or anything ive seen. no joke at all.

watching those vidoes got me thinking. to anyone who says they dont have the time, they dont have the body, they dont have what it takes to become built, they are liars to themseleves and others.

keep it up man!!!!!!

Thanks and Yeah, it really comes down to how bad you want it. Life always comes into play but it's funny how a person alters their life if they really desire to get some thing or go some where, but most the time it isn't for fitness lol I live for this sport and I make time, that is the key!

[TheBeastWCBB]

This is my first time on the thread. What a motivational story. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! It's amazing how a body can change if you put the work in...

[TheBeastWCBB]

Truly inspirational. Thanks for the motivation, bro.

Thanks! It's been a long journey...

DUUUDE you are my hero your defining that nothing is impossible congratulations man, i hope you keep on with your hard work im sure you will and god bless you man livestrong.

Thanks Man! I'm trying to take change things with Wheelchair Bodybuilding, I have big plans... Everything is going great!

Good **** man - love the spinners and your swag on stage.

Keep workin hard!

HAHA That's how I ROLL! LOLOL

dude you walked for your graduation...awesome. The wheelchair doesn't hold you back. You look better than most people who can walk haha

LOL I've been doing rehab for over 10 years and i'm gonna keep at it! Things happen in life that you can't control, just be the best that you can be. Thanks Though!

Incredible dedication man, congrats!

One thing though, how do you work your abs? (must be quite difficult)

Diet & Cardio is key to make the Abs show, getting rid of the bodyfat. But the way I do abs is a lot of High Pulley Crunches to the front, twist, sides and all different angels. Since I can use my legs I do hanging leg raises with the Ab Sling. I just mix it up a lot.

[TheBeastWCBB]

that was amazing. The next lance armstrong? you never know

You Never Know....

[TheBeastWCBB]

haha that was soo cool!
well done and good luck in the future.

Thank You!

Wow Outstanding!

Man, that hit a soft spot with me.

My "My Story" Video got to me when I was making it... It was tough keep watching that over and over... Memories...

Wow, I am glad this is the first thing I looked at after joining this site.

Truly amazing bro.

Welcome to the site! Thanks!

if I may ask, how long do you take to transform your body?

and btw, you are what motivation really meant.. thx..

Summer of 99 to Summer of 2000 I lost the most of my weight.
What got me the best results was when I did my 1st Show in March 2006. Something clicked insided and I desired more so I researched and really focused on my diet and supplements and that is what Transformed my Body

Diet is Everything

[TheBeastWCBB]

this is the first time i have ever seen anyone in a wheelchair look the way u do. im in aww. its wow breathtaking. u look great i dont know what to say.mad respect. keep up the good work.amazing just awsome!

Thanks! It's the same type of training except I alter things to make them work for me.

[TheBeastWCBB]

WOW!! I'm speechless!!

Truly inspirational!!

Thank You! I truly am grateful because things could be so much worse.

Bruv, you well, and truly have just SMASHED IT.

A true inspiration, if I dont get a six pack by the end of this year, I dont deserve any of the finer things in life.

HAHA if you want a six pack diet and cardio is everything! High Protein...

Wow this is great to watch.

Can you walk now, or still struggle?

Repped. That is amazing dedication. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me.

I still Struglle when I walk. I've been doing rehab for over 10 years and still do it. I'm glad I can at least walk some...

Amazing.

How has the rehabilitation going with walking? You could see a change in the video from the first time to the time you got up on stage, but how has it gone since?

How was it doing exercises without your legs to stabilise yourself? Do you find that it actually benefits you by making you use other muscles more?

The walking seems to stay the same but I keep at it. With stabilising myself with exercises I've learned a certain feel when I sit on benches and doing certain things.

No, I don't feel it actually benefits me because I would be able to lift heavier with certain exercises. But Bodybuilding is about the contraction and feel of the muscle. But you also have to add in heavy weight to the mix lol. But nutrition is the key, because lifting only tears down the body and nutrition & recovery is what actually heals the muscle fibers that makes the muscles bigger.
