[FAN0FdaSport]

thanks for posting, shawn is one of my favourites right now

[Ajthemeso]

thanks dude. as usual i'l rep you on spread lol. i really need to start saving my reps. i wonder why he was using machines for his pressing? injury prevention? i'm grateful i don't have to worry about that yet. the barbell is my best friend. kinda weird right lol?

[flangmasterj]

i wonder why he was using machines for his pressing?

Because he's bodybuilding.

[Ajthemeso]

Because he's bodybuilding.

was that an asinine question (srs)? i ask that 'cause you know they always say that free weights build the most muscle.

[flangmasterj]

Well kind of. Both machines and free weights have their place. **** knows how anyone would know that free weights build the most muscle.

[Ajthemeso]

Well kind of. Both machines and free weights have their place. **** knows how anyone would know that free weights build the most muscle.

I don't use machines at all. They're for turd burglars.


Honestly I'd say I use machines 79% of the time.

[RoroCwalker]

2:37 was completely unnecessary, retarded editing.

[ZBlacktt]

Very nice gym. I could never wear headphones like that. I sweat to much and those would bug the crap out of me. Just the ear buds will do.

[extremenergy3]

Anyone else read the Ronnie Coleman signature as "Romie Cole"? or is it just me? lol good video though.

Trials and Tribulations

Shawn's success has not come without several trials and tribulations.

1-Disabling Wrist Injury: In 1993, the young athlete cut 9 tendons in his right hand and was told by doctors that he would never be able to write, use a hammer, or play piano, let alone lift heavy weights. In fact, he was told lifting weights could cause permanent damage. Shawn persisted, built strength in his hand, and 14 months after the accident won the Natural Eastern Classic in New Jersey. Again, in January 1996, he was injured.

2-Crippling Back Injury: While squatting over 500lbs at a mere bodyweight of 205lbs, he severely hurt his back causing him to take a year off and leaving his bodybuilding career in jeopardy. He began his bodybuilding training on January 1, 1997 and once again his determination, desire and persistence paid off; he was on stage again on April 26, 1997 competing in the Mid Atlantic Natural Bodybuilding Championship in New Jersey. Having trained for only 4 months following a year long layoff, Shawn placed 2nd in the Light Heavyweight Division and won the show's best poser award.

3-Terrible Loss of His Father: Shawn, who is Jamaican born, moved to the U.S. in 1990 and received his U.S. citizenship, enabling him to compete at a higher level. Although he could have competed in the Jamaican Nationals (the equivalent to the Team Universe he felt he would have had no competition). It has been evident throughout his young career; Shawn has never taken the easy way out. While preparing for the 2002 Nationals, Shawn's father became very ill. Shawn once again put his bodybuilding career on the back burner to focus his attention on his ill father. Shawn lost his father after a year of battling lung cancer. Shawn was devastated; his father was one of his biggest supporters, always in the front row and cheering him on at all his shows. While taking on the grieving process, that really took a toll on Shawn mentally and physically, Shawn engrossed himself in learning more about the horrible disease that took his father's young life.
