Thread: Monkey Needs "BIG" Numbers, no whammy's

Ugh... hope it's not depression either, been dealing with that with Rod for a while now and it's no fun for anyone concerned.
Feel better soon MM.

My nutritional Guru Jodi sent me several articles
linking lack of sunlight on deficiencies of Vitamin D, leading
to both depression and arthritis...

So I went out today and bought A bottle of Calcium +D

I will supplement this into my diet for now and see if it helps

I also broke down and got Glucosomine-Chondroitin-Hyaluronic Acid Tabs

I expect the Vite-D to have an almost instant effect,
if anything maybe at least a placebo...

I am also going to tan this week to see if it helps to soak up some fake rays!?!?

careful with supplementing with the fat soluable vitamins. watch your dosage.

How'd you like the snow today?

Is it really that easy to OD on fat soluble vitamins?

here is some info from my text book, Sports and Exercise nutrition by McAdrle, Katch, Katch.

Ch. 2, pg 45-46:

Because fat-soluble vitamins dissolve and store int he body's fatty tissues, they need not be ingested daily. In fact, years may elapse before symptoms of a fat-soluble vitamin insufficiency become evident. The liver stores vitamin A and D, whereas vitamin E is distributed throughout the body's fatty tissues. Vitamin K is stored only in small amounts, mainly in the liver. Dietary lipid provides the source of fat-soluble vitamins; these vitamins, transported as part of lipoproteins in the lymph, travel to the liver for dispersion to various body tissues. Consuming a "fat-free" diet certainlly accelerate the development of a fat-soluble vitamin insufficiency.

Fat soluble vitamins should not be consumed in excess without medical supervision. Toxic reactions from excessive fat-soluble vitamin intake generally occur at a lower multiple of the RDA than water soluble vitamins. For example, a daily moderate-to-large excess of vitamin A (as retinol but not in carotene form) and vitamin D can produce serious toxic effects. Women who consume excess vitamin A early in pregnancy significantly increase the risk of birth defects in their unborn children. In children, excessive vitamin A accumulation (called hypervitaminosis A) cuases irritability, swelling of the bones, weight loss, and dry itchy skin. In adults, symptoms can include nausea, headache, drowsiness, loss of hair, diarrhea, and loss of calcium from bones causing brittleness. Discontinuing high intake of vitamin A reverses these symptoms. Kidney damage can result from a regular excess of vitamin D. Although "overdose" from vitamins E and K are rare, intakes above the recommended level yield no health benefits.

Knee and bicep problem ???

Do you think you need a weeks rest ???
I'm sure you don't want to--- but sometimes you need to listen to your body

Did you check the post dates of my WO's???

I haven't trained in a week -

And I'm taking another week also -

This week I will train however, but focus on avoiding pressing motions
through the shoulders and hips (I.E.- No Knees or Biceps if possible)

Lots of flexibility, and probably some walking outside
to climatize for the coming cold

Are you falling apart on us MM?

Good morning... hope everything is feeling better soon!

I don't think I am going to get any better...

At this point I think I will just have to adjust my training as to not do any thing but inflame, not damage these tendonal areas that keep bugging me...

we'll see

I got some new flexibility stuff I will incorporate -

Whoop-dee Freakin doo, I went to the gym today...

Hmmm, what would a real athlete do? -

BTW, I think I have a firm grasp on the problem...
If I can just get out of the red, and into the black (so to speak)
I'm pretty sure I can train hard, without reactivating the problem -

Lunging motions have been a real problem for me with these knees...

They seem to be weak through that motion...
(making split jerks nearly impossible)

After doing the walking lunges in the pool yesterday though,
I felt pretty strong this morning -

I will do more of these, working more & more shallow
this will help I'm sure

I usually keep it under the bench in the lockeroom

Someone took it into the handicapped stall in the John,
rifled through it, and when there was nothing of value except sweaty clothes,
they left it on the floor in there.

As I said,
there is an "Open House" this weekend..

And they Vermin and Scum who wold normally not be able to afford
a membership at our gym, get in for free and dirty the place all up -
