SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone

Image 1: "Hey Dude! Those arms come from rolling around in the chair, right? The time is flying by, it's almost June (just a few couple of hours left in May) and for Adelfo his next big day is approaching fast. After last weeks brief panic attack (see " Don't Let Red Flags and Banana Skins Stop You! ), he is back on track this week and that despite the fact that he has a hell lot of work to do that is not related to working out or dieting... or writing his weekly blogposts on the SuppVersity , of course. Usually you would think that sitting in a wheelchair does make all that more complicated and troublesome, but as you will see in this week's installment of Adelfo Cerame's Road to the Wheelchair Championships , sitting in a wheelchair can also have certain advantages, even when it comes to building a better physique!
