Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Bro are you the guy who eats tilapia 12 times a day pre-contest? Lol. I know if I was you I would probably vomit. Even steak and chicken make me want to puke after a while. If I did ever decide to compete that would be my biggest problem. I can stay motivated to diet just not eating the same thing over and over and over again, I got to get creative

when i started this last prep it was
2lb of tilipia
2lbs of chicken
2lbs of turkey.

that is my lineup and i am a big creature of habit and i dont like changes. their are a million ways to do protein types and methods. you dont have to eat the exact same thing day in and day out. that's just my method to the madness for myself. another secret i learned this past prep is if you hammer the fish and lean out quickly in the begining then you can drop the fish and grow in with far less suffering at the end. that made this last prep far more pleasant for me this time

haha, it is actually 3 days off a week for at least this week. i am deprogramming a tad bit. but on the other hand idk if i would call it days off cause the mrs works me when we dont go to the gym cause she gets bored. she made me clean the rides yesterday and contrarty to popular belief that is pretty hard work lol. they sure look nice though. today i start the butt crack early training because she is training at a new job this week.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

i did legs yesterday i hurt myself pretty fucking badly. hurt my damn back. not lower back but i popped something in the mid back between my shoulder blades right on my damn spine. it is def spine cause i got electricity feeling when it popped and now it even hurts to breath. it is a bit loser today but it still hurts pretty freaking bad. i am probably going to hit a art/chiro specialist tomorrow to see what can be done. this freaking sucks big old donkey balls cause i cant do back or chest or pretty much anything. i cant even raise my arms above my freaking head. funky to hurt the back but not the lower back squatting lol. oh well week off tops and i will be right back at it again i guarantee that one

thanks fellas. it seems to be easing up a little bit today. based off of the progress since hurting it early in the am yesterday i should be good by the end of the week. i may even be able to squeeze in some training before the end of the wk. it actually hurt so bad last night i took muscle relaxers which i never and hate to do. that's how bad it was and i slept on the damn hard wood floor also lol.

i am as anti pain meds as they come and i am also of the mindset that they should be used rarely and in very moderate terms. i was in so much freaking pain last night and the pain gels and such were only knocking it out for about 20 mins at best. so i took 2 of the mild ones i get from my neuro doc for spasms. that was enough for me to get 8 hours of good sleep. i am a light weight when it comes to any pain meds or anything at all that makes you sleepy. it did the trick though and i actually am feeling better even so as the day goes on. fingers crossed i will be 10x better tomorrow

Sleep as as a therapy is totally underrated. If you can get some sleep you can heal. When you are damaged and losing sleep everything just gets worse. Do whatever it takes for a couple days then you will be back at it.
