Did you have the same doc as TP? Or just one in your area?

one of the best in our area!!! i talked to 3 past patients[r/c] same as me, they all recovered nicely. one was a 20yr old quarterback from the local college near by.
the doc e mails me every other day asking me how things are, thats pretty cool!!

sorta of a rant post!!!!!!!!


i have told this story in some posts about this guy i used work with and have played him in raqetball, he's truly a work of art. over weight, low self esteem, and a chronic liar as well. last yr i wrote a wt program/diet/cardio, simple do's and donts. 2 wks into the program, he's already given up.now i have tried to help him countless times before this, so it didnt really suprise me that he give up.
so i see him at the center this a.m the 30th of Aug. i havent seen him since last Oct some time, he starts off the conversation with'', man, i dont know what i'm doing wrong, i eat good all the time, i never cheat, and i still cant loose any wt.''
so in my mind i'm thinking, o.k. i diet and train really hard for a show for 15-16 wks, and i cheat a little. so your dieting for close to 52 wks with out cheating and still not losing wt.what will power this guy has.
anyways, i just sorta brush of the bull shit and wish him the best. now,he doesnt warm up at all, grabs 50lb d-b's and starts to do alt curls, puts them down loads up 315 on the bench and gets 1 rep out,barely,with no spotter either walks over and says'' well, thats enough for one day, i better hit the sauna.''
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PreMier]

People have to WANT to help themselves. If this guy doesnt take the time, and learn/do what needs to be done, then dont fret it. You did your part man.

He sounds like a moron. Talk about an injury waiting to happen. No warm up at all!
It was nice for you to give him advice, but you can't make him follow it.

I can't believe I've missed this thread. I'm not able to surf the new threads like I used to be able to do. Sucks about the surgery. I've had my share and i know the recovery part sucks to hell. But you have an awesome attitude with this. Keep it and you'll do great!! Sounds like your doing great already and your diet and cardio is in order, very motivated man! And I just caught the pic you put up. Man, you look awesome! I can't believe what a transformation you made! Truly inspirational!!!

Oh, and btw, do you make the whey pudding or do you buy it?

thanks rock!!!!i just came back from the doc, took out my stiches, and he's very happy with everything. i was a little down and out this weekend, i had a couple of friends show up and say hi,they both are bb'ers and they're looking darn good!!!
whey pudding
1 box of sugar free pudding mix[what ever it calls for milk wise] and then i toss in 7-8 scoops whey protein.
i use a measuring cup[1] per serving,close 30 grams protein. it sorta looks like sledge, but yummie!!

 

[Rocco32]

Mmmmm, I'll have to try that! So one cup is 30g of protein if you toss 8 scoops in?

 

[Tank316]

or a little over, i didnt count the milk protein!!

 

[Rocco32]

Ahhhh, milk. Have you tried making it with just water? I don't think I can handle the sugar from milk

 

[Tank316]

Ahhhh, milk. Have you tried making it with just water? I don't think I can handle the sugar from milk

ah yes, this isnt really good on a clean diet,wouldnt be bad on a bulk

Hey Tank, we are good to go here in Miami. We didn't really get hit hard by the storm. I lost about 14 shingles (that I can see) from my roof and not much more than that. We are awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Ivan now...It doesn't get old does it??
