Against all odds; man without legs and an arm becomes bodybuilder

When you speak to Nick Santonastasso over the phone, he seems like an average 20 year old.

He’s youthful and full of life. But in person, he’s unlike just about anyone else. Santonastasso was born with Hanhart Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that manifests itself with either unformed organs or limbs.

But that hasn’t held him back from becoming a fitness model and bodybuilder. The youngest of three children, Nick’s parents raised him just like his other siblings, encouraging him to overcome obstacles by his own will.

Nick says his life revolves around eating and training.  He now looks at motivating and inspiring as his duty.

He says he didn’t have someone to look up to growing up, so that’s why he does it, to help kids who might be dealing with obstacles like he does.
