I can relate. I trained most of my life and an accident put me in a wheelchair in 2019. I had 3 surgeries and had a broken left femur and impaled through my back with shrapnel. I learned to walk again and can now move freely, but that took a year. It was the most depressing time of my life. I hope he is ok.
He had an Aortic dissection and luckily survived the surgery, at best you have a 10% chance of survival. 8 out of 10 people are dead in 3 minutes, I know because i also had one. The problem with Chris is that he went against the advice of his doctor and went back to 600lb squats and destroyed the repair made by his surgeon and is now paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life.
Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering how it happened. Glad you also survived it too. Same thing happened to my best friend. This reminds me of Ronnie Coleman in that they don’t know how to pump the breaks. It’s always go go go!

2007, IFBB Pro Kris Dim, 39, came face to face with death when he suffered a tear in the inner wall of his aorta. This potentially fatal incident caused massive blood flow between the layers of the wall of the aorta. The aorta is the highest pressure spot in the body, so when there is a rupture, there is bound to be serious ramafications. Basically, when this rare occurrence happens, the person generally dies very quickly. Aortic dissection has a 80% mortality rate and more than half of the people die before they even get to the hospital. Kris Dim miraculously survived this medical emergency and even competed again after his recovery! Sadly, Kris’ medical troubles only began in 2007. Recently, Kris went back under the knife to repair a stent. When Kris came out of surgery, his doctors told him, “Sorry, you have a spinal cord injury, and there is a chance that you will never walk again.” image001I had never heard of someone having heart surgery and coming out of it paralyzed, so I called the most knowledgable person I know on medicine, IFBB Pro Dr. Victor Prisk. Dr. Prisk actually informed me that this does happen, although it is extremely rare. The chances of being paralyzed after surgery occurs in 12 out of 100,000 patients. The Artery of Adamkiewicz is the largest anterior segmental medullary artery and that is the artery that is connected to the spine from the aorta. If the artery has a spasm during surgery, in this case when the stent was being replaced, a stroke of the spinal cord can take place. The stroke can then stop circulation in the spinal column, causing the loss of the use and feeling in the legs. I asked Dr. Prisk for Dim’s chances of recovery and even Dr. Prisk had to look this one up. He told me in a sullen voice, “There is a .03% chance that Kris will walk again.” In a text message Kris said. “I 100% believe that I will be walking again. I have feeling back in my legs, and I can move my knees and toes.” If you look back on all the astounding statistics in this story and in Kris’ life, you’ll find that either Kris Dim has been extremely lucky or extremely unlucky, depending on how you look at it. So, if there is anyone that can beat the odds, it is Kris Dim! krisgethin12bDuring my research for this story, I talked to a bunch of Kris’ friends and associates and everyone had very positive things to say about him. The universal theme of these conversations was sadness for Kris’ situation and the belief that if anyone could overcome such a dramatic obstacle, it was Kris. I know everyone at RxMuscle is behind him, and we all wish him a speedy full recovery!
@@him11199You don't know me dude. Little dude F*** himself up trying to be something he is not. I am 55+ now. I am also a former athlete (football player strong safety, dabbled in powerlifting, and I wrestled). Steroids are used by low self-esteem wannabes. I have seen teammates ruin their health on PEDs or steroids. I am and was 100% pure, strong ass F*** natural with the mesomorph body to go with it. I still workout for fitness and health. I am not impressed with roid heads😎
I had some thing similar my self. And my advice is don't push your self to perfection without extremely taking care of your body. God bless this man I want to give him a hug💪💪💪
Respect. Nothing comes close to what he went thru and then to stand up again in a wheel chair. Yet there are millions who are able bodied and waste away not exercising and making themselves better.
Damn tough to see, I have my self had two open heart surgeries in 2022. I am back in the gym, lifting and making progress! Already gained back 10KG of tissue since january 2023 when I first sat my foot in the gym again.
Hello, i am retairment powelifter from czech, 1 year i not compiting , i have a lot of major surgies on my lower body, this video made me think of next year comeback❤
I was On my way! To compete in men’s physique amateur dreams of going professional then I got hospitalized to find out I had congested heart failure with a fib by the grace of God I’m able to continue working out. Cardio is not what it used to be if it’s God’s ill compete as a natural bodybuilder in men’s physique. 🙏🏼💪💯
Blessings to you, Kris Dim. May you continue to live life to the fullest despite the setback. There is a God who loves you. I will pray for you. For everyone else: Life is short. Eternity looms. We need a Savior. Trust Jesus Christ.
I remember seeing him on the cover and in all the magazines and then one day it was like he vanished and I never saw him again until today. I'd even wondered whatever happened to him?
Hes living close by me, but Ive only seen him in his store Max Muscle years ago a few times. How did a heart surgery turn into being paralyzed? Was it a surgical mistake? Sad that this happened, but hes so strong mentally he never gave up and thats very inspiring!!
@@gabrydark88 Sad to see this happen to anyone, but I wouldn't think it would happen to someone pretty much in their prime, physically wise. The damage we do to our bodies in our lifetime makes you think we are invincible
He had a stent from complete blockage then he had a Heart attack during a procedure to repair another stent which failed and caused him to have a stroke leaving him paralyzed
From top bodybuilder to wheelchair 😢
What a tragic fate 🙏🙏🙏
Unforgettable 👑 asian freak 😢
Lets mention his name: KRIS DIM
This man's steroid use made his heart explode.
I read, he had a stroke. @@rockon8174
He got what he asked for.

Nobody believes you

Never Give Up. Get well soon brother.
You forgot how to walk?!😏

Roids aren't worth it kids
@@MrMpow3r btw, I never did steroids, but was born with a genetic defect at my aortic arch. I always had low to moderate blood pressure.
Thanks for the explanation
Explain how the surgery then training again lead to his paralysis.
I thought the aorter is away from the spinal column
Boss you are the real motivation for people coming back from their bad times..A huge respect to you sir🙏🙏🙏
Hats off to the legend
Incredible bodybuilder..all what i can say it's:huge respect for you brother 👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What an athlete so much respect for the Cambodian warrior❤🙏
Real champions never give up. I salute this gentleman 🫡
👍👍👍👏👏👌
Real champions don't juice.
With most sports I'd agree with you. Unfortunately in bodybuilding, that isn't the case
Real champions love their life.
This little guy beat Markus Rühl, Chris Cormier and Gustavo Badell 🔥⚔💪
Los jueces estarían drogados😂, solo míralo al lado de Markus, parecía un simple aficionado, en fin, políticas del culturismo que no es para nada objetivo
Did he beat them u mean? Doubt that but obviously I might be wrong
Jeez he looked better than ronnie
Kris is a beautiful human being. 🙏🏻💪❤️🇺🇸
What an amazing man! Never give up, always push forward. He's an inspiration.
Dam. He still look great.
Respect

thanks so much for your explanation, I wondered how this could happen, but I now understand.
Thanks a lot for taking the time and explaining Kris' condition. May God help him through this ordeal. Thanks again!!
@@LiquidBoogie thanks for the explanation, I asked in someone else's question but did not get an answer
Amazing aesthetics and conditioning. His arms are incredible.
Amazing what roids can do.
@@cnwil4594 Steroids only make you bigger. Its his genetics that make him look aesthetic.
@@cnwil4594 you can take double the dose and you'll not even come close to being his quarter

Same, I remember seeing him in magazines a lot in the early 2000s then he just disappeared.
Awesome body get well soon
As a bodybuilder myself trying to come up in the game I cried.
Solid

Ridiculous, but... Respect !

I competed against him and had the same stuff plus without the dissection..great arms
He is the "SHIFU" !!❤
Para ganhar do Markus Ruhl tem que sinistro, matador de gigantes, ótimo vídeo, motivação no talo
What type of Asian is He because this is out of the ordinary
Very inspirational life story of this "once titan in the world of bodybuilding". I wonder what his name is. It is not mentioned for some reason.
Brave Heart
Crazy triceps
Praise The Lord
Amazing physique, but his triceps definitely had some sort of oil in them.
How does heart failure lead to being paralyzed? Damn that's tragic!
He had also a stroke after this
@@gabrydark88 Sad to see this happen to anyone, but I wouldn't think it would happen to someone pretty much in their prime, physically wise. The damage we do to our bodies in our lifetime makes you think we are invincible

Amazing man. Not many will choose to continue body building.
A partaker of the safe and effective treatment?
What has his paralysis to do with an medical aorta/heart operation?
What's his name?
Kris Dim
