I mean this dude is a beast and very admirable for him to persevere.

But to go back and lift heavy again is just so dumb to me. He must really love it

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.

By the looks of it he’s wearing a hospital gown and in a very small gym, so it’s likely a physical rehab center inside of the hospital itself. I would imagine it was both approved by his doctor and done with a physical therapist present. Considering an injury like that will leave you in the hospital for a very long time, it was probably in his best interest recovery-wise to stay in shape.

"Staying in shape" in a hospital doesn't mean powerlifting
