My name is Adelfo Cerame Jr. In November 10, 2005, I was involved in a car accident that left me paralyzed from the waist down. I was diagnosed as a T-12 paraplegic by doctors, and my chances of walking again were slim to none. That day I made a choice to either give up and let myself go and dig myself a deeper hole or be a man and face the situation and do something about it. I accept the fact that it happen but I don't accept the fact that it's permanent. All I can do is give 110 % and try my best in making my situation better whether I walk again or not at least I can look back and say I tried till the very end...
How I got into bodybuilding...
After my injury, I wanted to find a competitive outlet for people in wheelchairs. I have always been athletic and competitive. I wanted to find a sport that could feed my competitive hunger. I was itching to feel that competitive edge again and i found it in bodybuilding. At first I started to eat healthy again and going to the gym every other day. I had some what Knowledge of the whole eating every 2-3 hours and how it makes your metabolism faster and that's about it. I think I knew more about lifting weights and running than I did the nutrition aspect. I always wondered ever since I was in high school, how come I was so strong, I can bench press and squat so much, but yet it didn't show in my physique. All I had to show for was 205 lbs of bulk and fat. Now I realize I've been missing the key ingredient to transforming my body which was good nutrition and dieting. So I basically took it slow, read and did a lot of research on dieting and nutrition and eventually I started to understand the concept of being able to manipulate your body. It was like a math formula that i finally figured out after many frustrating months of trying to understand it. I also had plenty of help from people I networked with at the gym and also a couple good friends that were experienced bodybuilders.
