when you say 'young girls' do you mean under 16?

soxmuscle · 02-21-2006, 08:45 PM

Your training seems to be coming back to life, sounding real good infact.

I do however, have a question. How does drinking effect your blood/glucose? for my brothers sake, i'm just curious. I think i've had this conversation with you before, but i'm not positive.

LOL. no. 18 and up, which is young to me, because I just turned 22.

And as for Alcohol and blood sugar, it reallly really messes things up. It needs to be monitored very closesly. As impaired as a person severely intoxicated can be, a person with low blood sugar and intoxicated is in a hallucenogenic dream state. I've been there, it's not fun.

Duncans Donuts · 02-28-2006, 12:43 AM

Recent updates:

I have had a few great workouts, but yesterdays was as follows:
Bottom Pause Squats: 312.5 x 12 (1 minute) x 7 (1 minute) x 6
Narrow Leg Position Squats (Smith machine) : 315 x 15 (45 seconds) 365 x 10

Yeah, that's the workout. If anyone decides to insult it, try it sometime and tell me you can do ham curls or calf raises after :P My legs are dead.

As a side note, my car got caught in a flooded section of street. Thanks to my brother for helping me out of it.

DD, you own bro - good to see you posting a little more often again.
How long was that W/O?

You squat a lot on the smith?

Duncans Donuts · 02-28-2006, 02:21 AM

thanks man. I'm trying to get involved in the forum again, I'm just way busy.

I don't focus so much on smith squats, just on keeping my legs narrow and going deep. At the point in this workout, my legs were so tired by exercise two that I dropped the weight even more to maintain form.

Rocco32 · 02-28-2006, 04:22 AM

Hey, welcome back DD! Nice to have you around again. Workouts are looking solid!

Weak sauce. How about that insult? haha Good to see you around DD

Duncans Donuts · 03-02-2006, 12:03 AM

Haha...P, it's been a while. I thought you died? Something about severe anal trauma? Something involving Johnnny, ah well, I'm glad that the rumors weren't true.

I've had a great few workouts and I'm semi-dieting. Right now the only picture I have that is recent is this one:

Since it's semi-winter (semi is my word of the day) I don't mind being thicker. I fill out the coat pretty good.

PreMier · 03-02-2006, 09:46 AM

Gods dont die. Yea, lookin thick, how much are you tipping the scales these days?

Whats up, big guy?

Duncans Donuts · 05-28-2008, 07:58 AM

Not good, Spurs. Should have known. Whats cracking man? Hows life

Duncans Donuts · 05-28-2008, 09:11 PM

So I'm signing up with the brothers (Cam6) gym again and I'm reopening this journal, my proud historic example of gibbering, verbal trash.

There is a summary of what happened to me in a recent thread, so I'll put that here:

Quote:

I was poisoned by my ex-roommates girlfriend for 4-6 months, which ravaged my immune system and destroyed my physiology. Since I was last here, I was separately diagnosed with migraine and cluster headaches, bipolar disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome (real chronic fatigue, the kind that makes it impossible to get out of bed) related to the epstein barr virus, which was active in my body for many months. I contracted staph infections, the worse of which was on my finger and misdiagnosed as a brown recluse spider bite, too. I almost lost my hand and the infection was brutally painful. Because of this vicious assault on my bodies defense system, my testosterone and thyroid hormone levels severely crashed.

At this point in time I had been promoted to Master Trainer at 24 hour fitness having finished 4 certs and the B.S. in exercise physiology. I was forced to quit because I couldn't get out of bed long enough to work, so my fast promotion and reputation at one of the countries largest 24 hour fitness clubs was lost.

I suffered from high fevers for about 2 months, which caused some very powerful side effects (hallucinations, hearing voices). I then was examined by a psychiatrist who determined i might have schizophrenia and prescribed mood altering meds (SSRIs, SNRIs).

It finally was discovered that I was indeed being poisoned with bleach and nail polish remover, so at that point I was able to start recovering. My fever dropped, my mental problems disappeared, and since February I have been making a very strong recovery getting myself back to condition. And that condition has nothing to do with weights, i haven't lifted in 4 or 5 months, I have been ridding myself of painful sinusitis, wisdom teeth were recently removed, my diagnosis was switched from bipolarity/depression/schizophrenia after the fever went, to ADHD. I also am a type 1 diabetic, and my blood sugars are phenomenally good at this point - although I have been getting cortisone shots every 4 weeks. I plan on stopping them when I go back to the gym. I get test shots every couple of weeks, too, plus androgel - LOL. I am still 230 pounds with a 47 inch chest. It's a miracle that I'm still as large and strong as I am.

There's even more to the story, but I don't want to bloviate. It's good to see everyone though (everyone who remembers me). I got a new laptop, so I should be around plenty.

Briefly addended to that, this period of time started around August of last year and continued through March. For several months I became dependent on vicodin and went through excruciating cold-turkey withdrawal.

I haven't worked out really since December, at least not seriously. I made four trips between then and now and with no record keeping and no free-weight exercise, it was somewhat meaningless.

At a body weight of 230 pounds, I am surprisingly not too fat. I've notably lost deltoid, trap, upper back, and arm size but most measurements are still relatively good. Arm around bicep: 16.2 inches, chest: 47 inches, hips: 38, waist: 34.5. Not certain about lower body, although formerly my squat/dead lift strength were my strong suits.

Not entirely sure what my initial return to form will be since it's been so long and I believe I have a potential for rapid improvement that is shocking. I want to make sure that I chose a routine that is second to none. Any suggestions?

**Built** · 05-28-2008, 09:13 PM

Yeah, mine.

first off, welcome back DD. Secondly, that is a rediculous amount of misfortune to fall on one person all at once. Might make me think twice the next time I wake up with a bad headache on a workout day and have to skip a workout or two.

In any event, I'm glad you're back on track finally. Of course, the job thing, to me anyway, was the big killer in all of this, but I think you are young enough and knowledgeable enough to get back on your feet in that regard in no time, and not have it effect you too much.

Hey if anything, all that time you had to take off helped me to sort of catch up to your rediculous squatting numbers you were putting up

She wanted my room, i had the master bedroom. She wanted to force herself on the leash. Petty shit man.

She had access to my food when i wasn't there. :/

Thanks. And yeah, I'm looking forward to getting back into it. The fact that my body fat is kind of low is working as a point of motivation. How have you been doing?

**IainDaniel** · 05-29-2008, 11:15 AM

Welcome Back DD. I thought about you the other day, when we were going through the routines to see if my son was going to be diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Things seem to be good.

Hopefully, this summer, will be a big step in a positive direction for you after all that shit.

Life has been pretty good.

Outside of the Celtics being awesome, not much has changed since we last talked. The Red Sox are still awesome (what a surprise ;p), I started working out at this really hardcore powerlifting gym at school and love every minute of it, I'm getting older (will be a junior this fall, two more years and I'm going to be working 9-5 daily, this sucks), smarter (that's a lie).. No really, same old same old..

I'm sorry to hear about all the bullshit you've been through of late. You have the tendency to pop in and out of the boards, but you were always consistent in the gym, I'm sure you were killing yourself being unable to workout...

I really can't wait to see how this journal unfolds.

SamEaston · 05-29-2008, 01:23 PM

Chrissake man - what kind of crazy ass bitch would do that to someone ever, but over such a prolonged period of time? That's properly fucked up, and just goes to show you can't trust anyone.

I am really pleased you're recovering well and im sure your return to form will be quick, once you're going full steam ahead.

This is one of the best journals on IM, and you are one of the most knowledgeable people regarding this sort of training. It's tremendous that you're back, and you're progress will blow us all out of the water I'm sure.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
