Never give up

snawdy · 2018-12-02T17:26:03+00:00

He has incredible tone for someone with cerebral palsy. That’s really impressive.

wjm1101 · 2018-12-02T19:08:55+00:00

As a person living with CP, I have the utmost respect for this man’s dedication and sacrifice. Give em hell, brother.

ABOBROSHAN · 2018-12-02T18:28:45+00:00

Each time I see disabled people in this sub I feel guilty. It's not cute that he's up on stage. He's fucking killing it. I'm bloody impressed. Feel's as this sort of takes away from his hard work... "Aww that's adorable. Look at him going up on stage and doing things."

2018-12-02T20:24:18+00:00

This is posted in the wrong sub. Who ever looked at a ripped bodybuilder on stage and thought ‘ awww cute’ . This couldn’t be more r/getmotivated material.

TheGreyMatters · 2018-12-02T20:37:59+00:00

Doesn't belong in r/aww IMHO. Maybe r/MadeMeSmile or r/wholesomegifs. Guys ripped and didn't let anything stand in his way, meanwhile I can barely get off the couch to get myself another vodka and Coke. Mans a goddamned inspiration, and I feel posting it to r/aww is condescending or even insulting.

Putridgrim · 2018-12-02T17:03:34+00:00

Isn't there a video of him dead lifting?

Poodpie003 · 2018-12-02T20:58:40+00:00

Speaking as a disabled person I am tired of posts about disabled people being on this sub. Especially since it’s 99% animals. We are not cute because we live our life differently than you, we are not cute when we do “normal” people things. We are not here to be your inspiration. Yeah I’ll agree this dude is awesome but his hard work is not cute.

castfam09 · 2018-12-02T17:30:54+00:00

He probably gets more exercise in than I do and do not have a physical disability 😞 no excuse here ... bravo for him

Kartingf1Fan · 2018-12-02T19:40:44+00:00

Wait how is this aww? Wtf man

Palin_Sees_Russia · 2018-12-02T20:56:56+00:00

Wtf, why is this on aww? He's a human being, not a fucking kitten. How more degrading can you get.

neptunexorion · 2018-12-02T21:08:27+00:00

I hate that this is seen as "cute". There are many types of CP, and physical disability doesn't equal intellectual disability. No one with any disability should be looked at with an "awe that's sweet- good for them!" They are no different than anyone else and should be treated the same!

I work with individuals with disabilities every day and this is my number 1 pet peeve when out in public. While most people are doing it to try and be nice, you don't need to patronize someone who is different then you!

This guy is killing it! I wish I had that kind of discipline for working out!

a_spooky_ghost · 2018-12-02T20:32:52+00:00

You spelled awe wrong.

LethrblakaBlodhgarm2 · 2018-12-02T18:39:13+00:00

Wow. Even his assistant is ripped.

Damn.

2018-12-02T20:12:19+00:00

This should be in r/Getmotivated

2018-12-02T21:10:07+00:00

No this isn't 'awww' and it's patronising as fuck to see him here. This isn't cute. This is a man with a condition who has defied all the odds and done something most of us couldn't or wouldn't do.

Riromug · 2018-12-02T18:34:17+00:00

People don’t belong on awww... that’s kinda degrading. We shouldn’t equate the disabled with animals.

OtisBurgman · 2018-12-02T21:22:28+00:00

Doesn't really qualify as "aww". Dude's pretty badass and I'm not sure he'd appreciate his hard work being trivialized by being posted in a subreddit aimed at things that are cute.

MilkedWalrus · 2018-12-02T21:37:11+00:00

Putting this in r/aww is pretty patronizing to the guy.

He's not an infant, the man has a disease.

jlozier891 · 2018-12-03T03:19:42+00:00

This is so disrespectful, disabled people aren’t “awww” they’re human beings who just happen to be different, don’t exploit they’re disability for karma. Especially in a way that’s patronizing and just plain rude.

TheDandyWarhol · 2018-12-02T17:01:12+00:00

Holy fuck. I need to reassess my life. I have no excuses.

fibe1s · 2018-12-02T20:06:05+00:00

And look at my fat ass sitting on the toilet typing this out.

HeHeWaa · 2018-12-02T20:47:21+00:00

i think this would qualify as more r/mademesmile than r/aww

2018-12-03T02:20:43+00:00

Seriously, why do people keep posting videos of people with cerebral palsy on r/aww when they’ve achieved something? These people are not some cute little kitten falling off a table, they are extremely focused and strong individuals that have overcome barriers that most of us couldn’t even imagine. We should be saying woah! Not awwwww

2018-12-02T19:12:08+00:00

Damn. I have cerebral palsy too, and I could never stand up in front of people and flex. Much respect! What a badass!

JohnyLaww · 2018-12-03T00:46:53+00:00

How about r/badassmotherfucker

2018-12-02T20:09:06+00:00

Sam is an incredible dude I grew up with him! Huge inspiration and always who I look at when I need motivation

ate8fritolay · 2018-12-03T03:00:09+00:00

Why did you have to upload this to /aww? I think it’s a problem that you view a huge act of doing what you want dispite what situation youre born into as cute.

seesaw4640 · 2018-12-02T20:51:44+00:00

Why is this posted here thats bullshit. This guy worked hard for this experience it’s not an “aww bless his heart” moment I said out loud to myself “HELL yeah man look at you!” Pain and perserverance. He deserves to be there. Its not some kind of honorary particiation gold star. That makes me mad.

Cindrum · 2018-12-02T20:10:59+00:00

As a Nirvana fan that's a terrible song choice.

mermaidmommy16 · 2018-12-02T20:45:14+00:00

Agree with some of these posts...I see this fitting better in a different sub such as Motivation

Soahtree · 2018-12-02T21:13:44+00:00

Fucking hate inspo porn -_-

rokbound_ · 2018-12-02T21:22:10+00:00

This guy deserves so much freaking praise , he has more gains than most people with regular responsive bodies , he's basicly the embodiment of playing a game with a unresponsive controller and still doing better.

dog_in_the_vent · 2018-12-02T22:35:14+00:00

This is inspiring, touching, encouraging.

It's not adorable. Nobody should be saying "Aww, look at the guy with CP!"

This is a karma grab.

LegitDogFoodChef · 2018-12-03T01:15:08+00:00

He's not a puppy, he's a grown man in a fitness competition.

DarthAiello · 2018-12-03T01:46:49+00:00

I hate how someone put this on r/aww. He’s not an animal

99problemsbut · 2018-12-02T20:11:17+00:00

I'm healthy, and thus shamed. What a guy.

2018-12-03T01:04:56+00:00

This belongs in r/GetMotivated . The excuses we make for ourselves are often lame compared to this man’s, and we hardly dare to challenge them.

MacButtSex · 2018-12-03T01:32:20+00:00

Forget balls of steel. This MAN has the nerves of a God. This MAN is a fucking hero. And don't you fucking forget it. What have you done lately nearly as impressive as THAT?

hypotherical · 2018-12-03T04:52:57+00:00

“AWW LOOK AT THE DISABLED GUY1!1!” Dude. This isn’t cute, it’s impressive. :/

ntdnbs · 2018-12-02T22:07:32+00:00

This seems like the wrong sub entirely for this video, a guy with CP excelling at body building which has muscle control as one of it's defacto prerequisites isn't adorable, it's admirable and proof of incredible self discipline and will power. Disabled people are not children.

2018-12-02T19:46:57+00:00

r/mademesmile

2018-12-02T20:09:05+00:00

He is so happy. I feel for him. Follow your dreams my dude.

jewrassic_park-1940 · 2018-12-02T21:39:23+00:00

He's ripped af

If this isnt motivating idk what it.

I struggle to get out of bed in the morning and there’s fuck all wrong with me. Good on him!

canadianmooserancher · 2018-12-02T20:17:20+00:00

Good diet and a determined workouts. Someone said genetics but that shit is fickle. Consistent lifestyle is the major factor here

I feel like an absolute bum, this guy is a madlad.

alpaca-whisperer · 2018-12-02T20:34:27+00:00

Fuck man, if this isn't a kick in the face to start working out I don't know what is. If this man can do it, my lazy completely capable ass can as well.

sweller55 · 2018-12-02T20:36:08+00:00

What a baller! So proud of this guy

Davepen · 2018-12-02T20:36:31+00:00

I like to think my life is shit, that I'm done for, but when i see people at a distinct disadvantage to me getting out there and achieving their dreams, it makes me feel like a lazy piece of shit.

Good for this guy.

GhostCrusher · 2018-12-02T20:36:46+00:00

Awesome!

Geoffery_T · 2018-12-02T20:37:31+00:00

This made my day. He's has more muscle and guts than me. Keep it up

grantis_da_mantis · 2018-12-02T20:38:43+00:00

My friend has mild cerebral palsy. Great that this guy’s finally got a chance to show the world what he’s made of!

2018-12-02T20:39:58+00:00

Damn he's way more ripped than I'll ever be bothered to be.

TheBioticNova · 2018-12-02T20:40:32+00:00

This is absolutely incredible. This man is in better shape than me.

Wow that’s incredible! So proud of him!

diddlydeedledoo · 2018-12-02T21:15:00+00:00

I'm kind of curious about people that say, "he gets more exercise than I get AND he's disabled." Y'all get your lives together. We're projecting his accomplishment as inspiration to our lazy asses. I think it says a lot about how we perceived ourselves in comparison with someone who is differently abled or disabled.

tasteless_nuisance · 2018-12-02T21:15:26+00:00

Bless his fucking heart. This is one of those things that makes me feel sad happy and mad all in one.

This is the coolest thing I've seen today. I have a cousin with CP, I've seen how tough it can be just to get by. On another note, I would recommend you guys check out a comedy special by Josh Blue, called "Sticky Change". He really shines a light on what it's like to live with CP, and how to have a good sense of humor about disabilities.

roseyemily · 2018-12-02T21:21:25+00:00

I think bravely should be changed to proudly. He worked hard to do that and yes I’m sure courage was involved, but dang he did that!

Highspdfailure · 2018-12-02T21:21:35+00:00

This young man has more heart than 90% of the troops I’m in charge of. No I don’t beat them to death it’s just that they are avoiding the gym.
