An Interesting Challenge

[Shelby]

This guy (Mark Pereira) competed as a LHW at Nationals last weekend.

Check out his left hand. That's got to present some challenges.

And still very symmetrical. I enjoy seeing people who dont let things in life hold them back from reaching goals.

Wow, that's impressive. I guess when you really want something you won't let anything hold you back.

 

[mrcat]

That's amazing!!

 

[Cactus kid]

Damn!

 

[Jblack]

Damn! I am really impressed with that...looks great too!

 

[Kaladryn]

Very even development considering, impressive. I'd be interested in seeing some of his exercise modifications, I have a friend with one hand who I'd like to get into bodybuilding.

Pm me. I have a cuz whos handS look like that. We train together sometimes, hes worked around it. Dont play w/ fireworks.

WOW! Very impressive, I would really like to see how he does some of his exercises too. I have broken both of my wrist while over seas and they are going to have to be fixed by surgery so there will be a year almost where i will only be able to use one hand at a time. I could really use some of his stuff I bet to keep my body on throughout this period.

Anyone know how he placed? Always inspired by this kind of thing. Had a buddy got his hand chopped off in a boat propellar he never let it get in his way. Got more chicks than most and wound up ceo of a fortune 500 company. Some people no matter what obstacle overcome and conquer. Its all about the drive. This guy here really looks great and congrats to him however he did. Just curious.

 

[Muler]

Great example of dedication. I hope he placed well and continues his career.

He didn't place, but it was pretty much the toughest show he could compete in. I'm sure he would do better at a regional show or something a bit less competitive.
Perhaps he just wanted to say he had competed at Nationals though.

Amazing! I wonder how he build his bicep? He must have some sort of special dumbell?

I would guess he some sort of tool or tools that he attaches to his wrist that act as a hand or hook.

I would guess he some sort of tool or tools that he attaches to his wrist that act as a hand or hook.

Those wrist straps that have hooks made in them come to mind.

Or maybe he uses a preacher curl machine or some other type curl machine, I know sometimes if my forearms get to cramping while doing curls on a machine I'll just open up my grip and use just the palms of my hands. I couldnt imagine trying to balance and grip dumbell with just one finger. Could do the same with machines for presses, extensions ect.

Truly inspiring!
