For the beginning I shall be presented.

My name is OBYDENNOV ALEXSEY, I live in Russia. To me of 29 years..

Sorry for my English.

I got my trauma when I was 14 years old. I was striked by power line 5000 volts. Like all kids I was playing in rong places and touching the rong things.When I got hit by the electricity, people saying they saw the sparks out of my top head. Before acsident I was playing football and hockey with a ball. In bodybuilding I came only when I was 16 years old. I am trying to work all my body parts with out any specialists or help from anybody. All my system of training created myself. I use leather belt and a anker to put my weits on them.
Right now I am 29 years old and planning to keep pumping. Only resently I start teisting bodybuilding products. there will be a big show in Moscow where I hope to participate as a geast poser first time in my life.

After accident I have started to type quickly superfluous kgs and began to feel myself badly. Has decided to try to be engaged BB. It was pleasant to me, has started to invent original adaptations and exercises. At me is not present and there was no trainer. Invented all, looked as it healthy people do and reflected as these exercises I can make. If to look at it a sight of the healthy person really it seems, that it is not possible. But there are two Russian expressions, in English it will be approximately so: roads of the god are not known; the persistence and work will make everyone.
And dream at me one: I wish to live a full life and to receive from it pleasure.

My question to you as to professionals consists in the following. That you know about Physically Challenged division class Standing athletes. What rules of carrying out of these competitions and conditions of participation in them of sportsmen from Russia.
I know that tournaments for the given category of athletes spend the organizations: WNSO, ABA/INBA/PNBA, Neutron Fitness and Sports Organization also can be still eat the organizations about which to me it is not known.

I very much ask you as people known in world BB and for which doors of the iron world are opened all. Whenever possible, to give me the information on this question if about it that that is known to you. Or I ask your help that you would deduce me on people in world BB at which there is an information interesting me.

I with the Russian friends have sent letters in magazines.

Do you know what the name of the big show in moscow is? You could try and talk to the organizers of that show and see if it is possible for you to be a guest poser. That would be your best chance, because all the organizations you've listed so far (ABA/INBA/PNBA) are American. Would you be willing to go to the US to compeat?

Either way, just stay up to date on all the shows that are in Russia, and let all of them know what you want to do.

sword_ · 07-21-2005, 01:12 AM

Impressive squat...you are truely an inspiration. I see nothing that can hold you back!

At present I have the beginning of cooperation with company OOO MSN SPORT, this company Is unique American-Russian firm representing factory-manufacturer and not having among themselves intermediaries. MSN (Matrix System Nutrition). The first stage became granting to me of 50 % of the discount for a sports feed if I buy from them one product the second I receive free of charge for the same sum.
I hope in the future to have the sponsor's contract with this company. Company MSN has expressed desire to organize my participation with demonstration performance on the big show in Moscow (open cup of Moscow on BB) which will pass in the end of October. I hope, that this performance will be the beginning of my career.
But, official tournaments are not spent to Russia in this category. In Russia there is an opportunity of the organization only demonstration performances of such athletes as I. Therefore I address to you with the request, to find the information on how I can get on tournaments for my category which are spent in northern America and the Europe. And such tournaments there are. And for the beginning actions I should find the information on participation in them.

Yes, yes, yes, I Would to be willing to go to the US to compeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I do not know as it to organize.
Help me with reception of the information on it.
I require only the information.

Raider926 · 07-21-2005, 07:47 AM

Try getting on the phones with the American associations, they will be very sympathetic to your situation, tell them you are willing to do what ever you must to compete, and ask them about other organizations in your area, I'm sure they will have a wealth of information in that particular area. Good luck Alex.
