Guy pumping iron like a boss and doing treadmill work. He has Cerebral Palsy.

What's your excuse? Because I have none, and am off to my neglected workout bench and treadmill.

    LOL he has a great sense of humor, to boot! Awesome guy, doing some really beyond amazing stuff! I hope he finds a girl that is amazing as hiM!

    There's this woman at my gym who also has cerebral palsy, and she runs a whole lot more than me, and lifts 5x heavier than me lol. Plus, she's always making people smile :)

    I know I hide behind my pain disorder.

    This - Just really made me think "oh please, you're pain disorder isn't half of bad as what this guy is going through on a daily basis."

    I needed this. It'll be me reminder to push myself.

    Thank you OP

    Side note: I first read the title as "GAY pumping iron" and was thinking, "Seriously??! Who the f*** cares what the orientation of the person is? How does that affect this." Sorry for temporarily being angry at you in my mind. :flowerforyou:

    I don't, this came up in my reddit feed. (occasionally, reddit isn't quite so useless. :) )

    My cousin is 12 with CP and I'm going to show him this. I just saw him this morning and wish I'd seen it then. He has such a hard time with his limitations. I just want him to know he can do anything he puts his mind to.

    Thank you for posting this.

    Also, when you're on youtube, type in "phamaly." It's a Denver-based theater company using only actors with disabilities ranging from CP to spinal cord injuries to hearing and visual impairments to psychological disorders. The actors with CP have resumes that include everything from wheelchair ballet to Duke medical school.
