In college, I had a fellow student with a similar condition. Although he’d often use a wheelchair to get around, it was not at all unusual to see him using his arms to walk around campus.

In multiple occasions, I saw him do a takedown tackle of another student and basically wipe the ground with him. He didn’t even look completely muscular - although he did have really good definition on some of them - but he was so damn strong overall just from the way he got around that he’d just thrash them.

Plus, there’s no way to socially come out as winning a fight with a person who has no legs. There’s no way not to lose that fight, it’s just bad versus worse.

Yeah they never skip 'leg' day so they're naturally strong with their arms I would expect.

Very true, but win or lose, it makes the "you should see the other guy!" trick way more impressive.

He's amazing, hands down 💪

I'm wondering how this guy goes to take a shit or a piss?

I don't want to be rude just a genuine question.

[-] buycurious@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

It’s not a dumb question.

He could have a colostomy bag.

I've double-leg amputees, and this amazing dude still looks like he's "missing too much" - especially when he's just resting talking to the camera. Like, I want to see an xray! I feel like there isn't room for some of the abdominal organs.

[-] PoliticallyIncorrect@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That's why I'm asking tbh.

That's not fair... He's only that fast because he's not being weighed down by two giant superfluous limbs

Damn, dude. This makes me want to do better at all the things.

That's wild, this 2 year old video just randomly showed up in my YouTube feed the other day. Kinda interesting to see how the algorithm just seems to randomly pick a video to start recommending to people.

Either way, glad this guy's story is getting to be seen by more people!

My misreading makes me curious whether we know who the fattest man on two hands is?

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

People compete for the award, but for some reason become quadriplegic after the attempt. Not sure why.
