Thanks to those negatives in 4, I almost couldnt pull my wheelchair into my car after working out! Haha! Its worth it though!

EDIT for spelling
Hey man, how have things been going for you outside the gym?

That was some good stuff! Those 100 pound curls make my arms feel weak!

Awww, you two look great together!

You know what this leads me to ask - Where are you going to school? What's your field of study?

I know school and work together can be a real pain, so good luck!

Yes! I knew that name sounded familiar... that is the first time I have read that article though. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, she most certainly is darling!!

Got a little forearm workout tonight... I went to my girlfriends house and went downstairs (to the basement) and going down the steps is not a big deal, I just bump down the steps backwards in my chair. Going up is a different story though. Her Dad stands behind me and I push up on the railings to take my weight off the chair and he just pulls my chair up to the next step, then I reposition my hands and push up and he pulls the chair up, etc. My forearms burned pretty good.

You seem to have the innate ability to make every situation work for you! That's cool, very cool!

that's why i say he's inspirational. he could have done like 90% and sat around and whined and moped about his sitiation (which would have been easier) but instead he's turned it into a success story that's well worth the read.

Thanks guys... while I dont think I am inspirational by any means, it is nice to read that you guys think I am. Thank you... it really does mean a lot.

Haha... I am willing to try anything, I always have been, but now I figure what is the worst that will happen, break my back again?? Haha. I will admit that at the top of the steps looking down was a bit scary wondering if my forearms would last and if I would make it up! Haha!!

Those are some awesome pullovers!

Here's a question kind of out of the blue, what does your diet look like? And, are you trying to bulk, cut, or maintain? I ask because of some of the changes I just had to make to mine, I added about 200 calories and it has had a nice effect.
