An accident by motorcycle made me hopelessly depressed, I couldn’t move my legs even to go to toilet alone so I started drinking too much alcohols.

One-day afternoon I saw a picture of a wheelchair disabled man bringing up a gold cup in a bodybuilding contest. That was the inspiration I needed.

I told my brother who was an athlete too, he told me there is a single chest press contest coming up in next season. So I started up…
