BUCKSCOUNTY, PA--A 15-year-old teen confined to a wheelchair is getting national attention for powerlifting.

The Pennsylvania teen has Spina Bifida and can't walk but says he doesn't need to walk to pump iron.

In his first competition, he lifted 135 pounds to beat out 11 others in the competition.

The teen says it finally feels good to be an athlete.
