Wheelchair? So what... Impossible is Nothing.

Thank you everyone for the positive comments!! Thats why I love Ironmag. I am just doing the best I can with what I have.

In my car accident my 10th thoracic vertabra (T10) was crushed and my T9 dropped down into its place and pinched my spinal cord. I would have been fine had my T9 not dropped down, but my accident was a bit rough. Anyway T10 is roughly belly button level and now, two years later, a few stem treatments (Moscow, Russia), and countless hours of rehab I have gained function, roughly L1 or hips. So no, I cant walk, but I told you all that because I truly believe I will walk again. I have gained function and I believe that soon there will be a true cure for spinal cord injured persons. The stem cell treatment in Russia is just a start. Sorry for the politics, but I HATE Bush for just saying he would veto the stem cell bills. Sorry enough.

I workout alone, but the gym I workout at, Studio 22, is awesome. The trainers always spot me if I need it or hand me DB if I cant pick them up (>75).

Ill answer any questions, it doesnt bother me. Ask away!

Chest/back today!

Oh right, any suggestions for exercises let me know. Keep in mind I cant stabilize with my legs. Thanks!
 
Just AWESOME, Incredible Brother Beach!!!

I don't think I've ever said hi to you before, so hello. I absolutely love everything about what you're doing, defying any odds to do what you love. I'm doing the same, I'm defying everyone who said that I'd never make anything of myself because of my Tourettes Syndrome. Seeing what guys like you (and hopefully someday guys like me) can do with our "limitations" is inspiring! Keep on chugging along man, keep on going because I'm going through some tough stuff too, and I know that someday both of us will be in a much better place because of this passion we have for this activity!

Anyways, it certainly looks like you had some fun yesterday! Keep it up!
 
Thanks and I agree Tallcall!

Good workout... my chest is sore as hell. :)
 
I know... he was at Wheelchair Nationals this year. If you are interested check out:

Wheelchair Bodybuilding - Home

and you can see the guy who whooped my ass:

Haha... he is a large man.

Todays workout was GREAT!! I decided to start taking NO-Xplode (I used some of my friends and liked it, so finally ordered some) and my workout was AMAZING!! I took just 1tbs. Before this the only supplements I have ever taken are protein.

Mmmm... I love my volume!

Witch... Thanks for the idea of CG chins... they were a great finisher for my biceps! I just added my own special twist... doing them on rings! :)
 
I like No-Xplode also.. I'm trying some different brands right now.. but that one is pretty darn good. What kind of gear are you using?
 
Funny... just yesterday two guys at my gym asked me if I was "on the juice." I actually have never run any cycles and before now the only supplement I have used is protein (now I am using NO-Xplode too). I am however seriously considering running gear to a) gain much needed size to beat my main opponent (pictured a few posts up, probably on gear) and b) break through some plateaus (basically I am plateauing on everything other than biceps). Any thoughts?

I have been reading constantly about different cycles and have decided that if/when I do start it will most definitely be 10 weeks of 500mg/wk Test-E along with Nolva throughout and HCG at the end. I will also keep track of it on this journal.

Unfortunately a possible source I almost had fell through, so I am back at ground one looking for a source. I would like to do a domestic supplier through the mail (online), but unfortunately those are hard to come by. Dont want to do the stealth packets as I have heard bad things. Lastly, none of the guys at my gym do anything harder than Superdrol so I am not going to get a supplier there. Keep looking I guess... or hopefully get/find a link.

Is that enough info? Haha. Have a good one all!

Before your accident I remembered you posting in the anabolic forum, so I make the assumption :).

Yes, 500mg/week of test e is a good starting cycle. It's actually better to run a small dosage of hcg twice a week, rather then trying to play catch up with large doses at the end of the cycle. Post that question in the anabolic forum, or PM Pirate when you are ready to go. I quit using androgens about 3 years ago, so my knowledge is a bit rusty ;) .

God, I love rear delt exercises, or anything that works on the upper back for that matter.

I know this might be kind of a dumb question, but what do you mean by "NT Delt?" - I was thinking some kind of negatives or something.

I too love rear delt... it feels cool.

NT Delt... or any NT stands for Nautilus. The gym where I workout at has a lot of Nautilus machines. The delt machine only goes up to 260, but I just strap on an extra 40 pounds. :)
 
I have been slacking getting my workouts posted on here... just got busy. Finally getting them all on here and maybe I can keep them up to date! Haha!

Post workout I weighed in at 192.4. When I want to weigh myself I have one of the guys I train with kneel down in front of my chair and I piggyback ride on the scale. Then we just take that number minus their weight. Works great.

Also had one of the guys do a quick 3-site skinfold:

Chest - 5mm
Tricep - 10mm
Subscapular - 13mm

ACSM has a formula for that 3-site and I havent looked it up to figure my bf%, but I know I am not too fat.

Notes:
2. I dont typically do Flies, just because it is supposedly damaging to that shoulders and since wheelchair user already are putting extra stress on their shoulders and since they are my means to get around, I try to be relatively sane when it comes to them.

3. NT stands for Nautilus machine. This machine only goes up to 330... so I just had to strap more weight to it! :)

So about two weeks ago I curled 90# DB on an incline bench (obviously since I cant stand ;))... so today I got the wise idea to do 100# DB. Ten pounds per arm is way too much of a jump! I did manage to get it up about halfway, possibly a bit more, I could have done it if I cheated, but I want to keep strict form. When I do do it (about three weeks) I will post the video! :)
