Do Work……..

I’d like to take a second to thank everyone on here and bodybuilding.com. Bodyspace has helped me so much over the past 2 yrs since my motorcycle accident. Not everyone knows, but 2 yrs ago while I was on my way to training, a van thought it would be cool to run a stop sign and I ended up in the side of it going 40 mph on my Suzuki gsxr 750. I should have died but instead I broke my right hand in 9 spots, tore 3 tendons, and had 3 dislocations all in my right hand. After surgery, which included 6 rods and 45 stitches, the hand specialist told me it that I probably wouldn’t be able to write again with my right hand or use it like I use to. Now mind you I’m right hand dominant. Also before all this happened I was captain of my power lifting team in high school and played ice hockey in college. I was very active and lifting was a huge part of my life so to hear that kind of news it left me in tears for a while. I endured 9 months of rehab and even with a cast on my arm I started hitting the gym again. My hand permanently doesn’t close the right way and I have 3 spots of arthritis already in it. If you look at some of my pics lifting or whatever you can see my right hand messed up. But now I’m back training harder then ever. A lot of it has to do with how motivated seeing everyone on Bodyspace made me, and also reading the comeback stories of others. I was 22 at the time of accident and now at 24 I’m back to personal training clients again, I’m a fitness and tattoo model, and also a Cellucor sponsored athlete. This site continues to drive me to achieve all I can. Between trying to look as good as everyone else on the site and all the friendships I have made on here I know this site and these friends will always be there. It’s like a community of people all with the same basic agenda and drive, there for each other at all times. I thank all of you and Bodyspace and remember perseverance is perfections closest friend.

I have posted 3 pics in my photos.. 2 of my hand and one of me in the cast check em out

I come to the conclusion that this fitness and training thing has slowly evolved into life for me. It’s like a best friend at first you are friends and the more time with it the more the friendship grows and evolves and strengthens. Some days its going great and other times you wanna say **** it and your pissed but as the years past LIFTING and the iron, like a true best friend is always still right by my side. Its help me in all aspects in life, when im pissed about life its there for me to take my agressions out on. When im sad or depressed like when family has passed away its there for me to release my tears into. Also when im happy as hell on a beautiful sunny day its there for me to have fun with. I bleed iron, and with out me the iron also has nothing so together we are gonna build the closest thing to perfection that we can over my lifetime. This isnt a fad, it isnt a 3 times a week for a half hour thing, i relize this is a lifetime of dedication to reach a impossible goal of perfection but as long as me and the iron are best friends we will tackle it like savages TOGETHER… DO WORK…..  Im proud to say the IRON is one of my bestfriends
