The effort he puts in doing what he loves is what makes me love lifting.

That was awesome. One of my close friends has CP, not at the same level as this guy but it does effect one side of his body pretty bad. He started training with me about 3 years ago and couldn't bench press the empty bar without me and another mate keeping the bar in a straight line, now he benches 65kg for 5 reps without a spotter. His body won't let him keep great form on any of the main lifts but he doesn't let that stop him , he knows the risks but refuses to let anything stop him. I wish I'd of done videos at the start and some now to show what can be achieved but if I'm honest I never thought he'd get to this point with how bad it was at the start.

What a champ!
I work with a fella who has a mild form of the condition and he's so positive about everything. just works towards his goals over time and it takes as long as it takes. He doesn't even have to work for a living but has been working part time and trying to get full time for as long as I've known him.

left a lump in my throat thinking about what this man has gone out and achieved with his determination and outlook on life, he doesn't let anything stop him. good example to everyone.

I wish the media would spend more time on stories like this rather than the nind numbing soul destroying crap they persist with.

Great vid, love his attitude

I liked watching this.

There's a similarly disabled lad who comes into my gym.
