Jeff Black is a real life superhero! Jeff is a member at PM and AnaSCI (JBlack). His story is incredible and at this time, he is truly one of a kind!
Jeff has a brittle bone disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI for short). He is a type 4 moderate to severe. To give you an idea of what this means, when he was 11 years old, walking through the store with his mom, his leg broke...Yes, just from walking. That's how brittle this disease makes your bones!! For Jeff to achieve what he has, is mind blowing. My fiance and I are members of the OI Foundation. Her brother had a very severe form and died at the age of 38 from respiratory issues. The foundation holds a conference every other year. We along with her mom attend...They've been going a lot longer than myself. The community is great and everyone is inspirational in there own way. I had just come back from the conference in 2010 when Jeff posted an article that RX Muscle did with him. I was blown away, seeing what he had achieved. We've been friends since then. At the end of this month, July, we'll finally get to meet for the first time at this years conference in Indianapolis. We're looking forward to hanging out and training together!
Jeff just competed this last weekend at the Flex Lewis show. Here's an interview that Flex did with Jeff.
