The bodybuilding realm is filled with numerous motivational figures, be it Flex Wheeler or Woody Belfort, who proved that one’s willpower and dedication can help you achieve your goals. French IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Edgard John-Augustin is one such individual, who lost both legs in a horrific car accident when he was just four years old but didn’t give up on his dreams.
Augustin started his bodybuilding journey when he was twenty to cope with the pressure and stress, and he has never looked back since. He won the IFBB Wheelchair Bodybuilding Championship in 2015 for the first time. He recently gave a sneak peek of his current physique as he prepares for an upcoming competition.
