Ask Question?

A man who had his legs amputated due to a rare bone condition has gone on to become a fitness trainer who can bench press 420lbs and do push ups in his wheelchair.

Zack Ruhl2

Zack Ruhl, 26, was born with a rare bone condition which led to both legs being amputated at the age of two. Despite having no legs, the Texas native overcame all odds and is capable of performing incredible feats of strength that not even strong people can attempt. According to the DailyMail, he found weightlifting in high school as part of his commitment to football and hasn’t turned back since.

“When I am at the gym working out that’s when life’s the best. The one word you cannot use in my gym is “can’t”. That word is out of your vocabulary as soon as you come in here.”

Talk about stronger! This guy is a monster, just take a look at Zack bench pressing 475 pounds in his most recent Instagram post.

Ruhl, now a fitness trainer, owns his own CrossFit gym and offers free classes to other amputees. “The classes are free for adaptive athletes because I know how hard it is not knowing what to do and a lot of people in wheelchairs feel like there is no hope,” says Ruhl.

What is Ruhl’s message? “Don’t let anybody tell you; you can’t do something…You always have room to grow, just keep going and don’t let anybody tell you nothing”

Remember this the next time you decide to skip the gym.
