“I packed on the muscle to cover it up. What our neighbor did to me; when I was a kid. It left such a darkness and shadow inside me. So much anger and sexual confusion. My high school wrestling coaches used to test me for steroids every single week; that’s how much anger and aggression was inside of me. But I didn’t beat up my body with drugs, like some people do. I beat it up in the gym. Working out made me feel embodied. Like nobody would fuck with me. At the age of 21 I decided to train for the Mr. Olympia competition. I was down to 4 percent body fat. I was getting striations like crazy. Then one day I’m riding the elevator at my office, and it froze. It hovered for one second. Then it dropped. I thought I was going to die. It fell three stories before the emergency brakes kicked in. Four herniated discs in my back. Three in my neck. I needed two shoulder operations, a knee operation. I had platinum and titanium wires put into my back. It was months and months of not being able to work out. Sitting in this dark room. No sunshine. All that pain and suffering from my childhood just rushed out. I remember sitting in my wheelchair, next to a busy street, and wanting so bad to just roll over the curb. But this is a comeback story. I’m having a little bit of a comeback right now. After my last spinal surgery, I got the sense that I could lift again. I put on a garbage bag, and walked 2.5 miles a day, in 95-degree heat, carrying weights. I lost 75 pounds. The entire time I was listening to the Rocky music. Eye of The Tiger, on repeat. Rocky is my hero. He wasn’t super smart and neither am I, especially since the brain injury. But we both know how to keep fighting. I even got a tattoo of a tiger on my chest. Its mouth is open. It’s scaring the pain away: not just the physical pain, all of the pain. Right now I’m training for my first competition. It’s a just small one in December, called Classic Physique. But I went hard today, and I’m feeling super strong. I don’t want anyone feeling sorry for me. I want people to see me on the podium. I want to engrave a sentiment. That if this man can do it, anybody can. This isn’t gonna be a sad story. It’s gonna be a Rocky story.”

This Jason Momoa Monkeypox PSA looks wild.

So this guy got corked by his neighbor?

It sucks he was sexually assaulted as a kid. Absolutely horrible.

But what made him think he could train for and enter the Olympia with no qualifications?

Amazing pivot.  You're fucking good dude.

Lol.

I'm just asking questions here.

The whole idea that he thought his physique was Olympia quality at 21 and he was going to train for the contest has me question everything in this story.

Hes talking about platinum titanium wires in his back.... this poor dude would have been better off if the elevator he was in was using platinum titanium wires instead of steel cable. 

And if you really think about it this whole story is an example of what's wrong with the world today.

This young man used bodybuilding and sports as an outlet for his rage and anger when he needed intense counseling.  He then thought he could compete against the best in the world when he couldn't even beat the best at his gym, as hes comparing his life story to the fictional tale of a gassed up middle weight boxer who beat the heavyweight champion of the world, while hes now prepping for a small classic show. And of course the whole wire fiasco.

It's literally all backwards.

For a short time I thought this was about Bhanky.

For a long time Bhanky thought this was about Bhanky.

Is there an American that has NOT been molested as a child by neighbour/father/uncle etc.?

Seems to be a national pastime.

[Spike]

If a bodybuilder is called human, it’s time to rethink careers.

Haha exactly he sounds like a right twat and he’s full of shit

[Hulkotron]

It reminds me of the story circulating on here a few months ago about the guy who had some bikers from him gym come to his house because they wanted to "sign up for one-on-one coaching" then they pulled guns and robbed him haha.  Was clear as day that they were coming over to buy drugs and decided to just take the drugs from this imbecile.
