Kerekesszékből vált profi testépítővé

2017 október 09., 17:30
  • Munkából hazamenet szenvedett motorbalesetet az akkor 21 éves Johnny Quinn Pennsylvaniában 1998-ban. Életveszélyes sérülésekkel szállították kórházba, az orvosok mindössze tíz százalék esélyt adtak arra, hogy megéli a másnap reggelt.
  • Quinn bár csodával határos módon túlélte balesetét, gerinctörése miatt kerekesszékbe került. Két depresszióval és gyógytornával telt év után túlsúlya miatt ment le az edzőterembe. Ott lapozott bele egy magazinba, amely riportot közölt kerekesszékes testépítőkről.
  • Ekkor döntötte el, hogy ő is hasonlóan szeretne kinézni. Edzeni kezdett, majd amatőr versenyeken indult, 2010-ben pedig bajnok lett. Eredményével kiérdemelte az IFBB elit minősítését, profivá vált. Rajta kívül mindössze 22 kerekesszékes testépítő mondhatja el ugyanezt.

In 1998, while working as an auto-mechanic, a nearly fatal motorcycle accident paralyzed him resulting in no motor function below his chest. After a grueling first year, he began to get acclimated to life in a wheelchair and decided to go to the gym in hopes of counteract the muscle loss and weight gain that followed his accident. It was in an issue of 'Flex Magazine' where he learned about a novice wheelchair bodybuilding show. In 2010, he became the National Physique Committee Wheelchair Champion. Winning this annual amateur contest earned him an elite classification as only 1 of 23 professional wheelchair bodybuilders on the globe through the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) - the highest level of bodybuilding in the world.

Each athlete in Quinn's division has a visible disability to fans and judges alike - they're in a wheelchair. It's their level of injury that effects how they can develop and use their bodies though which isn't always apparent. For Quinn, his cutoff is much higher than every other professional in their category - he has no motor function below his chest. Thus meaning he'll never be able to develop a the quintessential six-pack abdominal muscles to match their opposition. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

DALLAS, TX - JUNE 17: Trophies line tables as IFBB Pro Wheelchair Bodybuilder Johnny Quinn sits back stage prior to the Dallas Europa Games Get Fit & Sports Expo at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center on June 17, 2017 in Dallas, Texas. Quinn, 40, of Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania had no visions of becoming a professional bodybuilder as kid when his life changed dramatically 19 years ago. In 1998, while working as an auto-mechanic, a nearly fatal motorcycle accident paralyzed him resulting in no motor function below his chest. After a grueling first year, he began to get acclimated to life in a wheelchair and decided to go to the gym in hopes of counteract the muscle loss and weight gain that followed his accident. It was in an issue of 'Flex Magazine' where he learned about a novice wheelchair bodybuilding show. In 2010, he became the National Physique Committee Wheelchair Champion. Winning this annual amateur contest earned him an elite classification as only 1 of 23 professional wheelchair bodybuilders on the globe through the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) - the highest level of bodybuilding in the world. As a result, Quinn has traveled worldwide to compete on the most respected stages in more than 30 events as he chases the ultimate high of appearing on the Mr. Olympia stage - the Super Bowl of bodybuilding. Surviving a horrific accident, and forming a new identity in the process, he vows to himself and others to never give up. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)
