These days, there are more and more news of accidents happening in gyms. Accidents in gyms leave some people unable to walk, while others suffer a heart attack that takes their life. A female lawyer was told that she might never be able to walk again after surviving a terrible gym accident. But now she has become a champion bodybuilder.
Marcela Mendes Mancuso, 30, was hanging down from a bar for an inverted sit-up when she slipped and fell to the floor, breaking her spine. In such spinal injuries, the injured person’s chances of recovery are largely dependent on luck.
Marcel said that after the horrific accident in Sao Paulo, Brazil, she was unable to feel anything below her neck. Marcel had to undergo surgery. Doctors inserted a titanium plate and six screws into her spine to strengthen the spinal cord. The operation was successful, doctors told Marcel and her family that she would probably never be able to walk again.

She was also struggling to move her fingers. She had to relearn basic life activities like grabbing and lifting objects. But Marcel kept hope and started recovering from the terrible injury. She practiced her movements again. She made amazing improvements and soon returned to the gym to continue her workout routine.
She started professional weightlifting only two years ago. An impressed young gym user insisted that she should participate in a bodybuilding championship. Initially the idea seemed a bit strange, but her trainer supported her a lot. The results were surprising as well as pleasing and Markel became the overall winner in her first championship.
Since then, the hardworking bodybuilder has competed in numerous bodybuilding competitions, winning three gold medals and a crown. Marcel is now preparing to take part in the upcoming Joe Weider’s Olympia Amateur Portugal.
