One armed Bodybuilder in competition

[Hyper_Cell]

Serious respect to this guy

He is my inspiration, Im not sure how the accident happened but he certainly has let nothing stand in his way of competing

Respect!!

 

[myosin]

Wow

that's heart and dedication!

 

[Johnny Smiles]

be thankful guys...

it is such a critical sport and i think alot of us are too hard on ourselves or worry too much about our weaknesses when we should focus on our STRENGTHS. i guarantee you thats what this gentleman does.

i remember bitching to a gym buddy that my symmetry wasn't perfect. that my right bicep is a little different than my left. he replied," shoot man, thats just the good Lord showing you that you ain't in control."

do the best with what you have and enjoy your health.

That's amazing, much respect to that man!!!

 

[maldorf]

That is incredible and inspring. I wonder how he built up the pec on that side, because it doesnt look much smaller than his other side. He would have to somehow use what remains of that limb to contract that pec muscle. Goes to show you that when you want something bad enough it can be done. He looks damn good all over!

I was wondering the same thing about his pec... I wonder what his back looks like. Very inspirational for sure. No excuses!

Didnt thnk about that, but yeah Id like to see his back too. It seems he has found some solution to work around his impediment. He has a lot to be proud of.

exactly......

I was wondering more about his right lat, it looks almost symmetrical to his left from this angle

x2, awesome and like what Maldorf said, if there is a will there is a way. This is very awe inspiring.

 

[Elvia1023]

This is very inspiring. It makes me realize just how lucky I am. Many think silly things about their bodies. They are never happy and always negative. Like the above stated they just think about their negatives. Living like that for a long time can really effect important things in life (relationships etc).

I noticed a man in my gym the other day with no right arm. Obviously I didn't want to stare. But I noticed he had a couple of attachments for his arm. One was like a hook. That way he could lift and support himself whilst doing chins etc.

That or he's been competing for many years and has gotten to where he is now, and then just recently lost his arm.

 

[Jblack]

Totally awesome...makes me realize that even with my own issues others around me in this sport have them too...such a great sport...

I hope he gets judged fairly...I get judged kind of crappy cuz of my one calf being so much bigger and my muscles look different from quad to quad from where the surgeries took place, but oh well..still do my thing just like he does!

where doeds he compete? (in what state or region?)

 

[Hulk0311]

That is pure motivation and makes me grateful to be able to lift. There is a guy who works out at my gym who is in a wheelchair, he is absolutely ripped from the waist up and has a top level upper torso. When I was recovering from my surgeries and feeling sorry for myself I always looked to him and thought about the challenges he has overcome which always kept me motivated while recovering. Its crazy what the human body can do with 100 percent mental dedication and heart.

 

[fitdawg]

Wow...nothing else you can say.....

 

[Emery]

Anything is possible...

If we dedicate ourselves and stay loyal and focused.

This kind of spirit, applied to our lives, and the sky really is the limit!!

That is just amazing.

 

[MAD_SCIENTIST]

Inspiring. Fantabulous. Speechless. Awesome.

 

[Flex2019]

This is one of the most inspirational pictures I've ever seen. The motivation that this man must have is amazing and we can all learn something from this. Wow.

 

[pakololo]

Very inspiring. He can put some guys at the gym i train at to shame. I wonder how he trains the other half of his body.

 

[packing_it_on]

Big time respect for this guy!
