Edgard John-Augustin from French Guiana told the amazing story of his journey - how he lost both legs in a car accident at the age of four and how he achieved incredible success in bodybuilding.

THE PUPPY BRITISH LESS THAN EVIL TO PEERS AND BECAME A BODYBUILDER " At one point, my mother lost control of the car, and we got into a car accident. My older brother lost one leg and I lost both.

A man saw us on the road, he picked me up with his brother and took us to the hospital in his car. He saved our lives that day. We probably ruined his car with our blood.

I am very grateful to this man. It’s very hard for my mother, because she has been feeling guilty all her life, but thanks to her I became exactly who I am today..

It was very difficult because my brother and I had to go to France? for surgery and rehabilitation. We were very young, scared, seriously injured and far from our parents.

When I was still a child, I learned to run, ride a bike and hide in trees, like all other children.. But I often moved in a wheelchair because of the operations that I had to undergo "

John-Augustin said that he began to play sports actively at the age of 20. Later he had his first victories, including at the European Championship for people with disabilities, and a meeting with the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Today Edgard is a professional bodybuilder with a goal of winning the championship title in competitions with healthy athletes..

" I grew up with it, so it's a part of me. I need to adapt my workouts because I find it difficult to keep my balance, so, for example, I cannot do free squats.

I often have injuries due to prosthetics and my activities, but this does not stop me, I continue to work even with pain, no matter what.

If I don't, no one will do it for me. This is my mantra, which my mother repeated to me "
