Re: Is it possible?......

I had to stop eating and take a few breaths when I read this.
I know its true. I just dont want to believe it.

I trained lightly the other day...I curled roughly half my norm and it felt ok but I couldnt even begin to be normal.
THe big thing is....it fuking worked me. I slept an extra hour the next morning and I felt pretty beat up for a couple days. Nervous system banged up.

There is NOTHING I know of that taxes the nervous system more than DC.
I have gone through 5 training partners in the last 12 months leading up to my issue. Every one buckled .....Back issues, knees, elbows.....sickness.
They go back to normal training and they are fine.

Maybe.....it could have contributed to the cardiac arrest.....
Heavy AAS use coupled with severe nervous system trauma. Long term....I had not done the "cruise" part of the program in a year.

Im gonna have to take it slow.
Nice and easy, log my progress.

And there is no saying that you can't get back to where you were someday, maybe even soon. But look at what you went through, this was no minor event. You are lucky to be alive, don't take that for granted. I know weight training is important to you, it is to all of us or we would not be here and put the time and effort we do into it. But you have to be smart about how you approach the next few months.

I would say that you go on a good 3 day a week routine, very basic but something to get you going. Compound lifts, heavy within reason. And when you are ready, maybe get back into DC. Trust me, DC will be around whenever you are ready and I will help you in any way that I can when that day comes.

For now, focus on the gift of life you have been given. Everything after that is just the icing on the cake my friend.

Re: Is it possible?......

Bro If it makes you feel any better I will tell you my story.....

4 years ago I lost my little brother in a car accident he was 10. I used to be in great shape and I just came out of Hs and it was amazing how I WAS. Time went by and I started to drink and
smoke and my body just got into a mess. I was 200 fit went up to 240 bulk very fat.....Then as time went by I came back down to 180 and was flabby very little muscle. The deppresion killed my body and made me a mess. Now I am at 215 fat again with some muscle on me but I do look fat....Your probably in much better shape then I am but we have to work hard and strive for what we set our mind to. I am at 215 cause I dont care about what I eat lmao I am in a foriegn counttry now and just eating cause food is so good here lol. But when I go back to NY I have to diet the first day and get to my peak of being the best I ever was again. My little brother would always go to the gym with me and would love seeing me lift and get big. He wanted me to be a BB but it hurt me when he died. But we have to get back to business and we can acomplish anything bro...

Sorry if I got off topic lol.....

Re: Is it possible?......

Sorry for your loss.
Losing a loved one is never easy.
Eventually mourning will be over though. You cannot allow it to consume you and IM certain your brother would not want it to either.
Your depression will get better once you start training and eating properly

I know when I eat well I feel better.
If I eat pizza and cheeseburgers I feel fuking terrible.

When I eat baked chicken, oatmeal, maybe some sushi...I feel fantastic.

Re: Is it possible?......

Ok so today I had the stress test.
I ran for a hwile at 140bpm with no issues.
Dr said my heart looks perfectly normal now.
Ejection fraction is up to 55% from 30-35%.

IM clear to train!!!!!!!!

She told me no more than like 25lbs for curls.....I think she needed to ramp it up for a BB. I asked her if 60lbs per arm would be ok and she choked.
I guess its gonna be a medium between what she wants and what I want.
At least I can train again.

Re: Is it possible?......

GO SLOW!!!! You are excited and that leads to poor judgement at times. Pace yourself or I am gonna come down and kick your ass. I'm serious!!

[BRUNDEL]

Re: Is it possible?......

Thanks brother.
I know. I guess its never gonna be DC again.
But hey....I can train and be healthy and happy.
Maybe I cant do super heavy lifting. I have to limit bench and overhead exercises....but I can manage.
This is gonna be interesting.

Re: Is it possible?......

And I will help you anyway that I can. You tell me what your limitations are and I will see what I can come up with if you need help. You have always gone out of your way to look after me and have been so kind, like a real brother. I am here for you, remember that.

Re: Is it possible?......

Re: Is it possible?......

Kris Dim made a come back after his heart attack and looked pretty good, even with his huge scar on his chest.

[BRUNDEL]

Re: Is it possible?......

Im pretty sure hes on some gear there.
Im gonna be drug free.

Well except for 2-300mg test HRT and Formeron.

Considering I was on almost 3 grams of gear when it happened 2-300 isnt much.
Just enough to keep me happy and feeling healthy.

Dim is inspirational though. I was wondering if he had ever competed again.
After having his breastplate cracked training must have been rough.

Hats off to him for sure.

Love this post keep it updated!

Re: Is it possible?......

As I start training again Im gonna run a log.
Maybe Ill ever post some pics after a while.
My avi is how I used to look.

Im not even clost to wanting to post a current pic.....Its sad.
Im back up over 200lbs again though and I think I can gain 30lbs eating like a horse.
I gotta do cardio now so....Ill stay leaner.

Re: Is it possible?......

You can very well do this in 3 month. Fist, how long have you been off the larger amounts of test and what is your trt dosages? The main key is diet and the second is training. You MUST be dedicated and start now. No procrastination. This is how I would do it..Huge amounts of whole food protein ( lean meat, chicken, fish)..green veggies..Absolutely no simple carbs, but brown rice, backed potatos and at least 3 protein shakes a day. No simple sugars of added salts. Throw in alittle nat fats..No snacks or cheat meals. Do cardio, but limit to 30 minutes a day. Use only a pure isloate whey protein that has no added carbs, fats and very little sodium and get a meal replacement mix for or to make up at least 6 meals. FixRX has a good one with not much added called Lean Body by Labrada..They have many dif flavors. Do this and be strict and you will get there for sure. And as said above dont forget your BCAA's

Re: Is it possible?......

Im not willing to go over 300mg test.
I have been clean for 3 months.

I know diet is key. I have a good friend whos a diet genius. Im having him help me out. The plan is similar to what your saying.
LOTS of lean meat and veggies. Brown rice.
Cardio as much as possible for my heart.

My training is hard and heavy but I have to back off.
