I fell off a 2 story building Jun 2006, crushed both ankles, fractured my spine and tore both rotator cuffs.
Doctors said nothing could be done to repair my broken ankles or spine since I pulverized the bones. They said I will never walk again and I will always be in pain. After 3 months in a wheel chair I had enough, I purchased a smith weight system, with my friends help I set it up on my outdoor patio and began a weight lifting program. I wheeled myself to the bench and pushed through the pain. After another 3 months I stood and walked out of my wheelchair. I'm now walking again and back to work due only to my dedication to working out, learning all I can, making realistic goals and staying focused.

I found BB.com and was inspired by the articles of people telling how they got started and the experienced people on Bodyspace showing how to do it right. Thanks to all of you and I am now addicted!
