Default Inspiration for bodybuilders

Not just for bodybuilders, but for everyone. A 17-year-old athlete was in a horrific car accident and lost both legs above the knees. He entered a bodybuilding competition and came in fifth. The photo of him posing on his prosthetic legs, made the front page of the Denver Post. Photos and more info: http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_15725427

I know quite a few body builders. My brother from a different mother is one. I have helped him train and eat for about 10yrs of shows. It's a HUGE amount of work. Hell just the eating is PIA. That's awesome!!

That's awesome.

They have a professional disabled league and them guys aren't nothing to slouch at. That takes a SERIOUS commitment from a 17yo to overcome such an adversity when being so impressionable at that age. Props to him!
