[Wavewolfaroha]

Awesome symmetry and form! I know a lot of work went into this performance--great job! I'm no bodybuilder, but work out for health--paralyzed at L3 with other neuro issues upper body, but workouts keep the mind and body healthier, right?!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@Wavewolfaroha Absolutely!  Thanks for the comment. =)

[anthonykingatl]

Fucking awesomely amazing. Your pecs and lats are phenomenal. Not to mention your arms. OMG. How much do you weigh?

[WheelzOfFortune]

@anthonykingatl Thanks!! I weighed 88lbs at the time of the competition.

[Xindigosky]

Hey ...where's the oil....:)  Great job!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@Xindigosky Thanks! It is difficult to see because of the lighting, but I really did have a ton of glaze/oil on for this.

[jackarnieROCKNWHEEL]

You look great.. in a wheelchair or without it.. You're a tuff competition for anybody

[WheelzOfFortune]

@jackarnieROCKNWHEEL Thanks =) =)

[blackpearlv6]

Good job! Just curious, did you have a SCI or were you born with spinal complications? I am a T1 complete and wish I had the core control you do. Oh well, thankfully I still have my arms. Thanks for the vids!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@blackpearlv6 SCI when I was 6 months old.  My core/abs are definitely the weakest part of my upper body.

Thanks for the comment!

Love the muscles Joseph

[WheelzOfFortune]

@antonio1jh Thank you. =)

[duke00382]

I guess that you can certainly be very very proud of your accomplishment considering that the training period was not that long. You did a TREMENDOUS job!!!!!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@duke00382 Thank you.

[bwanabass]

Congratulations, man. Tremendous props to you!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@bwanabass Thanks much. =)

[mapleclose]

So how did YOU feel while doing all this, Joseph?

[WheelzOfFortune]

@mapleclose I was a bit nervous at first. Even though I have been on stage in musicals/plays a bunch of times before, this was different. That said, I am anxiously looking forward to the next competition I do.

[mapleclose]

@WheelzOfFortune I am not surprised, Joseph .. "anxiously lookin g forward" sums up how oy looked on this clip too.. anyway, all the best, keep training and enjoy yourself.

Incidenatally, where are the Southern Isles?

[WheelzOfFortune]

@mapleclose Georgia, apparently. :-p

[mahksintown]

Incredibly hot!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@mahksintown Thanks! =D

[swelguy]

What about pasta? You didn't stop eating pasta, did you? Oh no...not pasta too!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@swelguy I couldn't give up pasta. =X I had it on my carb-up day.

[Charlotte1584]

Nice muscles Joseph!! Lookin' gooooddd!!!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@Charlotte1584 Haha, thank you. =)

[tattooedboy04]

Wow!!! Ok, don't beat me up. I will never be that built!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@tattooedboy04 LOL, I have no intentions of beating anyone up.

[swelguy]

Congratulations, Joseph! Terrific routine! How did you bulk up, but get so cut, in such a short length of time?

[WheelzOfFortune]

@swelguy Thanks! I just lifted really heavy weights and ate a ton. Then when I wanted to cut, I stopped eating bread, potatoes, and pretty much all other carbs.

[rusty1491]

Damn your cut, who did you get to shave your body hair.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@rusty1491 Thanks much. I did most of the shaving myself, but I had my dad help for the hard to reach places.
