BUILDING MUSCLE with MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY | IS IT POSSIBLE? 

Thank you for taking the time to make this! I have chronic inflammatory myositis but also try to do bodybuilding to slow down muscle loss.

I have had FSHD since I was 15 years old, currently I am 29 since I woke up I have trained very hard in the gym and at home so that the disease progresses slowly and is maintained. It takes a lot of willpower, courage, Bravery and Discipline to train really hard while having MD.

Absolutely wonderful

You are so inspiring!

Im a 35 year old with Beckers muscular Dystrophy.I dont use a wheelchair but alot of falling comes with it. Its hard out here for a pimp you know. Im active as much as i can be. I cant build my muscles i dont think.but we keep pushing out here. I drive cook garden (raised beds) all kinds of shit lol i have a wife and kids so i have some help getting up but alot of times i jus think ahead of time and be prepared. Help is a blessing from anyone including family. Ima beast tho like you my new friend lol the strongest people in the world are disabled!!! I said it lol

Im so happy i found you

I like the attitude brother! Exactly how I go about it myself.(25M). My story goes like this. I played up to three sports a year all the way up through elementary school until high-school when I decided to play football only instead. I was one of the strongest and biggest guys at my high-school and I actually started on the football team. I guess mine is very mild too but I still couldn't get my body to properly perform. Like if I sat down too long then I'd be so stiff on the next sprint I might trip over my own feet. The fatigue also comes on quicker and harder for me vs a normal person even if I could outperform them in the first half. When I was a young kid I recognized that there wasn't something right and I told my dad that something wasn't right. Finally when I turned 18 we had a DNA test that said I had myotonic dystrophy. I'm also currently 245 at about 16%-18% bodyfat. People always tell me I'm big and have "good" genetics. I feel lucky for all that but MD affects my life in more ways than only someone with it would understand. I use to get scared about everything I read about it so I try not to pretend any of that is even an option. My twin brother doesn't even have MD but yet I'm bigger and stronger than him. Doesn't make much sense. Hope you get the chance to read this brother 🙏

Very inspiring story

I've had FSH for 24 years. I was inactive for a while and my right bicep (my strong arm strangely) atrophied. My kids are grown and gone. Lost my wife to cancer last year. I've found myself alone in an empty home. I have started a daily exercise and stretching routine, but I haven't found anything about trying to restore biceps.

Keep in mind DM1 and DM2 is different from Duchenne or Becker Muscular Dystrophy. Different symptoms and pathology.

Love you bro you my real hero

What blows my mind is that the doctors say if you work out your muscles can’t really build and they breakdown but it doesn’t fully make sense. If our muscles just constantly broke down and never built back up with MD we would all be completely crippled by now. EVERYONE’S muscles break down and they build back up, same with us they just break down faster and have a harder time regenerating. I have fshd and was 87lbs to 112lbs in just 3 months of busting my ass. And I’m severely affected and have to have help just to get up after a fall

Yes we can! I have

I'm an almost 14 year old boy and I just came back from the neurologist who had told me that I cant do workouts with over 2 kg dumbbells. I'm super depressed about it and don't even want to exercise anymore.

I would love to speak to you. I have been researching for exercises to help my muscles. I have been told isometric exercises and like you said I am scared for muscle damage, however my research is just that.

Researching for little bro

There is over 80 different types of muscular dystrophy some of the muscular dystrophy you cannot build muscle whatsoever you need to educate yourself more better than I have almost 7,000 on Tik-Tok I spread awareness for the worst muscular dystrophy you're not wrong with yours but you're making people depressed by giving the wrong information sometimes not saying you haven't build muscle but some people out solutely can't so don't start the video off seeing people's muscular dystrophy can build muscle some of us cannot and it's insulting

Hey Dominic, I messaged you yesterday on your Instagram. I have FSHD and am desperate for help (more details in my Instagram message) Hope to hear from you soon!
