FEATURED MEMBER - Oliver Rubio #NOEXCUSES.

Hello my name is Oliver Rubio (@oliverrubiom) I’m from Colombia (South America). As you know the Poland Syndrome is a sporadic congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of the sternal head of the pectoralis major muscle, along with hypoplasia and/or aplasia of the breast or nipple, with deficiency of the subcutaneous fat and axillary hair. There can be associated abnormalities of the rib cage and the ipsilateral upper extremity. In the hand and fingers, anomalies include symphalangism, syndactyly with hypoplasia, brachydactyly, or aplasia of the fingers. In other words is the lack of chest muscle on the right side and also a malformation of the hand. In my case I have no right hand, as you can see in my selfie.

As MSc. Researcher Engineer, I have been developing devices to allow me to do physical sporting activities. I have been training hard to get my goals and to show people that if I can do it they can do it too. Nowadays, I´m an ambassador, which is pretty much to post photos or videos in the gym in social networks weekly, of one of the most important gym (@greenfit) in my city (Medellin). I will more than glad to answer your questions or if you have suggestions and concerns I'll be more than ready to receive.
