If you would have asked me a little over 3yrs ago if I would enter a contest like the MuscleTech Challenge, I would have said you were crazy. In November of 2004 I fell off of a roof 9ft, head first onto a deck.
I had herniated 2 discs in my cervical spine, 2 in my thoracic spine & fractured 2 vertebras. I damaged the part of my brain that controls vision leaving me legally blind in my right eye with drastic vision changes in my left.
I was told never to lift weights again.
May 5, 2008 I had a bike accident that literally scalped me & left me with 2 more fractured vertebras, a broken right wrist & elbow. Over the summer I had gained a substantial amount of weight.
Against the Doc’s advice I started to train again. November 2008, progress was painful & very slow. February 2009, I saw the ad for the MuscleTech challenge. With the encouragement of my wonderful Wife & kids, I decided to try.
I purchased some Nano Vapor, Halo & went to work. While I haven’t reached the place where I want to be, I’ve come a lot further than I even thought I would a year ago.
I want to say thanks to bodybuilding.com & MuscleTech for giving me the motivation to try again.
While I may not have finished as strongly as I wanted to, I’ve finally started & finished something for the first time in a really long time.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Jim Fowler
