What most attendees and participants thought would be a typical annual Arnold Classic Weekend; actually turned out to be so much more. It was a special and touching moment when 24-year-old Miles Taylor deadlifted 185 pounds at a 99-pound bodyweight in front of a very large crowd.

What’s really impressive about his lift is that he made it look super easy which after only a year of training is pretty darn inspiring.

Taylor suffers from Cerebral Palsy and was noticed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in a video where he deadlifted twice his body weight; which prompted Schwarzenegger to invite on stage to show his incredible feat.
