Thanks for posting.

Inspiring for sure!! thx for sharing

What a great accomplishment! At my last job, I was working with adults who are developmentally delayed, ranging from mild to severe retardation along with other conditions as well, like CP, Down Syndrome, etc. Many were on our Special Olympics Powerlifting Team. Some of them competed in the non-special category and have state records for their age/weight class. One guy, who's about 5' 5" and weighs around 170, deadlifts 350 lbs. I don't remember the others' weights, but they are all amazing! And so is this young man! Wow.

I saw this on the CNN morning news a week or so ago. I was especially interested since my 10-yr-old granddaughter has Down Syndrome. Having a "disability" is kind of like being older: you're only held back by what you think you can't do.

Wow can that man lift...holy crap.

Great vid!! Thanks for posting

The most worthwhile thing I've scene on the forums all week. Thanks.

Fantastic!!!!
