[QUOTE=Pepsi88;231383731]hey Beast very inspirational!
you have worked very hard and accomplished so much well done.
i have an uncle who had an accident when he was only 17 and has been paralysed from the waist down ever since. hes never been able to walk again BUT he did compete at many wheelchair racing events and at the paralympics in Seoul, South Korea. where he won a silver medal. you ever thought about competing?
Sorry im not tyring to make him sound better than you or anything like that or steal your thread. Im just saying that people like him and you that make the best of their lives are an inspiration to everyone.
on another note it was awesome seeing you crank out those pull-ups man :D
ive recenlty started doing them i can only do 8 tho lol[/QUOTE]
That's great about your uncle! So many people get depressed but life is truly beautiful.
Keep hitting the Lat Pulldown Heavy and Hard and you'll be able to do reps with a 45lb plate hanging off ya! But diet is key when you want to pack on size! But I thought that clip was pimp with the pull ups LOL That's why I edited it like that LOL
You're a stronger individual than I. Body, Spirit, & Soul.

AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!
Back in August of 1998 I was involved in an accident that would forever change my life. The left front tire on my vehicle blew out and rolled my vehicle five and a half times. I was ejected though the driver's side window, and eventually collided with my vehicle in mid-air. The outcome of these unfortunate circumstances was a broken back and a damaged spine at T12 L1, requiring titanium rods to be vertically bolted to my spine.
I was diagnosed as paraplegic, and was told that it would be physically impossible to ever walk again. That day a part of me died; yet at the same time another part of me was born. What's the one thing you gain from losing everything? Perspective. At that point, it wasn't about if my glass was half empty or half full I am just grateful I have a glass.
I am the Main Promoter of Wheelchair Bodybuilding. I am Founder/Owner of [url]www.wheelchair-bodybuilding.com[/url] I basically promote Wheelchair Bodybuilding throughout the world. I'm friends with all the Wheelchair Bodybuilders. The guys you see on the bio section, I deal with them all and many more. [url]http://www.wheelchair-bodybuilding.com/bios[/url]
I deal with different Org Promoters all over as well as the NPC President & IFBB President.
Here is my bio and most of my shows/guest posing I have done. [url]http://www.nickfitness.com/my_bio[/url]
The song on the first video is Only Time by Enya.
I can walk short distance but I lose my balance easy. I can't feel below my knees and have to wear braces or I can break my ankles without feeling it. You could cut off my toes and I wouldn't feel it but it would look like it hurt like H***! LOLOL
Success is not about a destination, it's the journey... The day I almost died I always wondered "WHY ME" but after many years I realized, that day I was given a gift, which was a second chance.
[QUOTE=Chicago1287;231432951]Damn man...that's def inspirational. I watched some of your videos and I noticed you said you do an hour cardio in the morning, and 30 min after your workout. What type of cardio do you do?[/QUOTE]
In the beginning I just pushed myself in the chair. Then I got to the point where I sat on the floor behind a stationary bike and peddled with my hands. Now after 10 years of rehab I can stand on an elliptical and unstrap my braces, I have to hold on at all times or I will fall LOL
I do cardio for an hour in the morning on an empty stomach. If i have to train clients in the morning I will always get up that much earlier. Most of the days I am at it at 4am. Then do another 30 mins to an hour depending if I am getting ready for a show/guest posing.
[QUOTE=Adr3nALinRuSh;231657041]Amazing! I live in kansas too. I'm surprised i haven't heard anything about you in the paper or local news..[/QUOTE]
