Ok this article is good but one part doesn't make sense.

Notice the part where it says he can only bench 120 pounds? How is that possible. He weighs 100+/- and walks on his hands, every single day. I think the average male with absolutely no conditioning by work or sport can bench at least 80 pounds. How can he bench only 120? I mean just looking at his build I don't see how he can't bench 200 right now. I seriously think this article is wrong. This kid shouldn't even be doing warmups with less than 135.

Wow talk about inspirational.
He probably can't press above 120 due to tipping over.

Yeah he has no leverage
a long time ago, i read seeing a news story on a power lifter
with no legs, he had straps that held him to the bench and stuff.
but if i remeber the story, he want to try to break some records
but the rules would not let him use either straps nor something to
hold his artificial legs down

I don't think so. Maybe legless people need someone to hold them down. But I know there are quite a lot of powerlifting records held by legless people due it being by weight class.
that shit is awesome, like a robo commando who's legs were blown off, but continues to function. I wonder if he has trouble using the restrooms.
yeah if i lost my legs i'd probably just live on worker's comp, write 3 hrs a day and play WoW the other 12

Maybe it's all endurance as opposed to strength?

Endurance and Strength aren't the same thing only to some degree. No one can bench press 105 for 5 hours straight, then not be able to do more than 120.
