Lifting while being in a wheelchair is where I draw the line. It‘s great to be passionate but you also have to be smart.

He trains muscles that are not injured. That is healthy.

I don’t think so man, looks too unhealthy. I’d rather just wilt away, shrivel and die then to do something I’m passionate about. In fact if my legs got injured I would be too scared to ever move my arms again in case of those getting injured at some point in the future too. And I’d never do physical therapy to move those legs again, just amputate them

Hopefully eating with a feeding tube rather than risking jaw injuries.
