An amputee CrossFit trainer is teaching other disabled people how to push their bodies to the limit. Twenty-six-year-old Zack Ruhl can impressively bench press 420 lbs and do pushups in his wheelchair. Last year he opened up his own CrossFit gym where he offers free classes to other amputees. Zack was born without thigh bones and brittle bones in his legs so doctors amputated them over the course of his life.

The indomitable spirit of this warrior is an inspiration to us all. How blessed we are to be able-bodied...
Couldn't have been said any wiser
dang not only motivation but eye candy
TRAPZILLA 666 i'm simply saying he's handsome that isn't implying that i'm horny
+rebecca fujieda I'm a guy, but he does look handsome and this is extremely inspiring.
+TRAPZILLA 666 what about now? your good? :))
I am
coole are you
+Jake Harris I said he was good looking lol grow up
he is gorgeous and his mother is a very good example for all the mothers out there
He's the most amazing man I've ever seen
Well, there goes my excuse for not getting into shape. Hooooly sheet!
u r a inspiration to everyone in a wheelchair and little girls like me who r part time wheelchair users
A strong mother is this man foundation
Well done Zack! I was told in 75 that I could lose my right leg. But now I'm 60 and they are very painful at times but I'm still able to get around. Thank you for your inspiration.
This man is such an inspiration...i am a full time wheelchair user.. I love his happiness in life even though he may have struggles it's great the way he has positivity in life
was Down for weeks this guy just motivated me to move on thanks buddy !!!
Very inspiring. I have to say, if you ask me half of the credit goes to his mother. From the start, she made him reach goals he thought (or other people told him) he never could. Well done both of them :)
Thank you for the motivation brother especially for people who are in wheelchair like myself
God what is my latest excuse for not going to the gym!?!?!? Awesome to prove that anyone can take care of themselves and be healthy no matter what walk of life you come from! Take care of yourself, and it pays off no matter what ability you have or don't have! Awesome inspiration! Thanks! :)
agree
Chelsea Jennings He looks strong , but there again BOYS / MEN ARE MORE DETERMIDE to TRY things in MY OPINION posted from the UK
My sub box just had the official cross fit channel upload before this... like the universe is giving me a sign.
3:13 the way he motivated her was simply beautiful
This man kicks ass. How does he power through his pain? Pain is life. Next!
The horrible attempt of "Leg day" jokes is giving me anxiety.
He's doing something amazing. Teaching those to adapt!!
Motivated mother, created a motivated man.
Making the gym free for adaptive athletes is where he goes from just badass to badass hero.
I never seen a someone in a wheelchair who can do press ups and why the 5 dislikes come on people show respect!
Good for him! He's a great inspiration.
Respect added to straight favourite's videos!

This is amazing and another good example why we are lucky...and actually have legs but this guy is more than amazing and good looking. xD
keep it up mate what you do not a lot of people can do
I need to go find this gym hopefully it's in California
He is not a parapligic, and still has all his movement in his body and was born this way.
He can do more physically than a para.
" I would never just give him his baby ball, he'd have to crawl in his body cast, whenever he asked me to leave stuff down on the cabinets for him where he doesn't have to reach up for nothing, and I told him no"
Lmao this sounds fucked up, but I guess it worked out
+Wesley Gilmore Cant win with u idiots can we? If she gave him support all throughout his life yall would say to let him b independent. If she didnt it's fucked up? Oh my god, go get ur life's priorities in order bro.
