Miles Taylor may have cerebral palsy, but he continues to be impressive. He recently managed to inspire the masses by lifting a hefty Atlas Stone.

Taylor has become a true inspiration for athletes with disabilities. His positive attitude and outlook on life has garnered him some massive respect, really earning him the nickname Smiley. Not to mention, this mentality has certainly helped him in achieving some unbelievable feats.

Although Taylor has various interests in things like photography, he has a true passion for fitness and strongman competitions. His Instagram is littered with pictures and videos of him doing unbelievable things in the weight room. Moreover, this has even led to a relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and invitations to the Arnold Sports Festival.

It is this level of incredible accomplishment which brings Miles Taylor to our attention today. Over the weekend, the Arnold Strongman USA went down at the Santa Monica Pier. Among the other amazing performances, was Smiles managing to lift an Atlas Stone over the bar for three reps.

And of course my coach @uncle.nic who’s always right by my side (being a pain in my ass)😂 Congratulations to all the strongman competitors and firefighters who came out! It was an awesome event to be apart of! I’m so grateful!”
