    WIN! :drinker: :drinker:



    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:

    WOW. :love: Thank you for posting this. :heart: I will think twice about skipping a workout because my knee hurts or I'm tired. OP, are you lucky enough to know Scott personally?

    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.

    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.

    OMG, I was just thinking, "why doesn't he have a spotter" when the bar fell on the catch bars around 2:30. <heart dropped>

    Amazing.

    Me too!

    What an awesome story

    Great video. Just sent it to a friend of mine who works with educating folks about CP, which he also has. If he doesn't already know about this video, I bet he'll find it really good to pass on. Thanx.

    I grew up with my brother who had cerebral palsy(Died at 48 in March 2012) so this video is an awesome example that a disability is just one more hurdle to climb with determination. :-)
