Tom's On a Recomp

[Tom_B]

OMG LOL I just realized that all this time I've been writing my tempos out like:

[ Eccentric / Pause / Concentric ] When really it should be [ Concentric / Pause / Eccentric ] hahaha my bad ! Thanks for pointing that out for me P-funk!

 

[P-funk]

yea, but that is still a pretty slow concentric.

You can use a 4 number system to avoid problems between push and pull.....

4/1/1/1

eccentric/iso/concentric/iso

 

[Tom_B]

Thank P-funk I think I'll start writing it out like that.

The reason I have a 3 count concentric on some of those exercises is today was a "Tension/Volume" workout for my back and shoulders. But generally I stick to a 1 - 2 count for the concentric portion of the rep ..
I know right now the training I'm doing is "stupid" .. 6 days a week of weights .. but I'm currently not training for anything specific, just the enjoyment of it, and I love to lift ... plus I've noticed MAJOR improvements in my physique and strength.
But it's certainly taken it's toll, I'm only doing one more week, then It'll be a complete week off followed by (I think) a routine with 3 full body workouts a week ... just to really let my body rest and repair from this bloc of training..

 

[Tom_B]

OMG I don't know what the fuck is wrong with my stomach!! .. Ugh I took some of that Milk of Magnesia stuff last night .. still nothing.
*sigh* I'm getting that pregnant, distended, rock hard belly look again.. I feel so gross..
And of course tomorrow morning is Deadlifts .. so if I haven't gone to the washroom by then I'm not too sure how that'll go ..

 

[BulkMeUp]

I write out the tempo wrong as well, but i do it right. Intresting 4number system that P mentioned. I should try that on the new routine.

strange that you are still having stomach issues. I would think that after the previous poopisode you would be better.

there is something to be said for having periods of high volume (extensive training) and then alternating them with periods of low volume but higher intensity (extensive training).

Nothing is stupid is it makes sense in the grand scheme of things.

Adrian: Ya It's very strange .. I even took the milk of magnesia last night .. nothing today. I was able to pass two TINY bean sized pieces that were completely green, but that's it...

P-funk: LOL thanks man! I thought you were going to rip into me for doing such high volume/frequency training. My problem though is that I rarely will alternate periods of higher volume with periods of lower volume training .. before doing this routine I generally stuck to 4 day splits with about 25 sets in each workout .. But I've been thinking and I really need to give my body some more frequent breaks. So I was thinking after coming off of this bloc I could do a 3 day full body split for 6 weeks, do a de-load and then bump it up to either a 4 or 5 day split ... hmmm not 100% sure.


Ugh .. fucked day. I look like I'm fucking pregneat my stomach is that distended/painful right now. I just don't know what the fuck is wrong with me ... and I certianly didn't eat enough calories today .. I just couldn't cram it in me ... ugh I just feel so sluggish and tired and drained .. and I keep getting random pains all through my left arm/chest/heart area (maybe anxiety over all this??).. I don't want to jinx myself but I really really hope it's not a blockage .. it seems like it might be though from what I've been reading. When I went to the hospital Thursday night and I pooped those 6x before seeing a doctor it was pretty much all liquid, what would stop the bowel movement would be the feeling of a solid rock hard piece unable to pass ..
And then I got two tests tomorrow, so I get home from work and start to study for those .. and I end up falling asleep ! Just woke up and it's 11:15pm .. guh I'm just so tired and sick..
I'll be calling my family doctor tomorrow morning on one of my off classes from school and letting them know that I can't wait until wednesday night to see him, and that I'm blocked up again. See what they got to say ..

 

[Tom_B]

So I managed to pass a TINY bowel movment today while at the gym .. but the strange thing was, was when I wiped (sorry to be graphic!) there was this fairly long white stringy thing ... hmm..

So I called up the doc office and they got me in right away. Then I sat down and listed to my doctor wonder why I'm so 'weird' and that no 'normal' person eats 6 times and day or drinks 4-5L of water. In fact APPARENTLY this is very unhealthy and he told me the 4-5L of water has to STOP. No more than 8 glasses he says Wow. Anyways .. so then he tells me he's going to collect a stool sample for parasites ... HMMM TOO BAD I CAN'T FUCKING SHIT YOU IDIOT! So when I brought up that he just changed the subject and started talking about something else .. omfg. So i go up to the hospital to get this parasite testing kit and the women is like ' .. ummm... How are you suppose to do it if you can't produce a bowel movement to begin with??' And I was like ' that's exactly my point, I got no clue what's going on ..' So in the end I had to go to ER and tell the doctor there what's happening and so he gave me TWO perscription laxatives to help me go so I can do the parasite test .. *sigh* Just like every other doctors done, load me up with laxatives.
So now I'm taking this liquid syrup thing + these super potent tablet things that say on the box if I don't have a bowel movement within 12 hours, contact a doctor immediately as this is a serious condition. So we'll see what happens ...

And then I also went out today and bought a Probiotic kit, each drink thing has 50 million bacteria .. so hopefully that helps a bit..

 

[Bakerboy]

Tom have you ever had a colonic? You should look into it, how long has it been since your last bowel movement? There must be someone in your area that does it- colonic theropy.Colon Therapy ... keep it healthy, keep it happy.

[Tom_B]

Hey bakerboy - Ya I've ALWAYS wanted to get a Colon Hydrotherapy session done .. I was even looking in that "Colonix" kit thing, but found out you can only get it directly from their website .. was thinking about getting it once I turn 19 and can get a credit card of my own.
But I did do some searching and found THESE guys ... they're about a 40 minute drive from me .. not too sure how professional they look. Hmmm .. the only other place is 3 hours away from me. Once I get some of my money issues undercontrol I think I'm going to give them a call ..

--------------------------------------------------------------

So I spent ALL Morning at the hospital again .. those laxatives didn't give me a bowel movement at all. So I was there, they gave me an X-ray and said that I was COMPLETELY full of stools .. so they gave me two enemas to try and clean me out .. they got most of it, but I felt liek there was still a tiny bit up there. The x-ray never showed any fecal impaction or anything .. so they're really unsure of whats causing this. They just keep telling me to drink lots of water and eat fiber and no junk food, and I try and explain to them that I already do that, but they just keep repeating.
So I told them this is what they did for me last Thurs and it never helped .. so what should I do if I get constipated again? And he's like ' Well just come back here and we'll have to do the procedure over again .. and then probably refer you to a specialist and get a colonopsy done ..' . He said I shouldn't have another bowel movement for a few days considering I'm completely cleaned out .. (I don't believe nor feel like I'm completely cleaned out.)

So for the next little while I'm not going to be eating any vegetables, very little fat .. just sticking to very mushy and easy foods to help my digestive system along .. also LOTS of probiotic yogurt, and probitoic kit drinks ..
God since Sunday I've only eaten about 2000 calories each day .. my stomach is just so messed .. I hope I don't lose to much weight .. hmmm..

Another thing I was thinking is if this maybe could be neurological constipation? Maybe I've fried my CNS? Between this extensive training bloc, my lack of sleep, and those Daily Energy drinks ... I wonder how possible this even is?..

 

[Bakerboy]

Tom that place looks legit. The price $60 is pretty good too. Honestly, now that you are cleaned out it would be a perfect time to go. At the very least you should call them (doesn't cost anything to tell them the problems you are having) and ask if they think it would help. It will clean out the walls of your colon. You will feel like a new man after it is done! I wouldn't worry about losing weight and your calorie intake at the moment you may not be absorbing your food properly anyway. I know you are worried about the money- but it's your health- you are a young guy you want to get to the root of the problem.

 

[Emma-Leigh]

Tom - those colonic places... ermmm... not all that useful.... but you could try it if you wanted.

Some things you should read (and take the knowledge with you to your next consultation):
ASCRS: Functional Bowel Disorders -- Snyder
https://secure.pharmacytimes.com/lessons/200410-01.asp
Emergency Medicine
Irritable Bowel Syndrome treatment options at Mayo Clinic
NGC - NGC Summary

But you REALLY need to book yourself into a gastroenterologist... this is NOT normal and it needs to be seen to.

 

[bigsahm21]

Yeah man I'd get that taken care of by all means possible. If I were you I'd probably stop the weights and 7 meals a day thing for the meantime too. I know it'd be hard we all love to lift but it's probably better for your recovery right now if your CNS isn't pushed to the max every day and your digestive doesn't have to process slow-digesting foods 7 times a day. I mean, this sounds like something needs to be addressed...it's one thing to push through something like a cold but this sounds a little more serious.

 

[Tom_B]

April 3

Training - Unscheduled Rest day ...

Stretching: 20 minutes worth

Woke up late + when I woke up, my stomach was jsut too much .. no way in hell was I going to be able to do a workout. So I ate a bit of breaky then headed straight for the hospital.

Diet -
Meal 1 - Yogurt, whey, Oatmeal, banana, Peanut butter Creatine
Meal 2 - Oat bran, whey, Peanut butter, egg beater, fish oil, banana, probiotic drink
Meal 3 - Oat bran, whey, Olive oil, Egg beater, fish oil, banana, probiotic drink
Meal 4 - Probiotic Yogurt, fish oil, tuna
Meal 5 - Cottage Cheese, strawberries, Wheat bran, Cocoa powder, Peanut butter,

Additional: Crystal light, green tea, SF syrups, Pickles, SF Metamucil

Bakerboy: Well I talked to my parents today about it (as they would be the ones paying for it ..) and my dad really doesn't want me to go through with it. He doesn't want me fooling around with stuff when we don't even know what's orginally causing this issue, so instead he told me to call up a doctor tomorrow and get referred to a specilist .. which does sound more logical, I mean what if this colon cleanse actually makes things worse? (doubt it would ..). But I do plan on getting one done at some point in my life, just so I can say 'Ya I've done it.' and can be a judge as to how effective it really is..
And ya more than likely I won't lose any weight throughout this. My body's fucked, and jsut refuses to lose weight .. it's strange I can eat roughly 2800-3000 calories and not gain a pound however I can then eat 1800 calories and not lose a pound either ..

Bigsahm21: Ya today wasn't suppose to be a rest day .. but I woke up and decided there was no way I was going to be able to workout in my state. So I backed off. And my diet has definitely been switched around, sticking to mostly "mushy" type foods, drinking tons of probiotic kit drinks and eating tons of yogurt... Feeling better right now as I type this out. So I may just get through the rest of the week as planned and then take my 5 - 7 day break .. but I mean if I start to feel like shit, or I get constipated again, then definitely going to stop the working out like I did today. I'm just going to go with the flow of things for the next little while..

Emma: Hey Emz!! Thank you so much for listing all of those links .. just spent the last 30 minutes sifting through all them .. hmm that pelvic floor Dyssynergia sounds interesting. Would explain all that undigested food lettuce .. just sitting in my rectum? And even with my normal bowel movements that I was having I would feel like 80-90% of the time like everything didn't completely evacuate my system.. I'm calling up the doc to get referred to a specialist tomorrow. Problem is, I'm probably going to have to wait a LONG time to see one ..

Anyways, other than my hospital visit nothing else happened. Went to work and that was it ... I'll be back in school tomorrow, should be interesting considering I haven't been there since last Wed. Wow I'm going to be so fucking far behind ..

Some people would be very jealous of you for the first part

And it's ok that your body refuses to lose weight. Maybe it wants to hang on to the muscle you've made, and the little bit of fat you have is just stubborn.

FEEL BETTER!! And text me please whenever there's an update. I love you!

Tummies been .. well half and half. Not really good, but not really great. Earlier in the day was great, but right now it feels a bit cramped/clogged up .. and the thing is, is I'm STARVING! Just Sooo fucking hungry all day ..

Also I went to the pharmacist today and they're ordering me off this super powerful probitoc stuff .. one packet has 450 BILLION active cultures in it! (The drinks I'm currently drinking only have 50 million, and all the other pills the store has only have about 2 million). So I'll be picking that up tomorrow.

And I'm sooo far behind in school. Omg go today and I got in total 2 assignemtns, 2 tests, 2 presentations, 1 chem lab, 1 quiz, a booklet to read. Fuck ... this long weekend all I'll be doing is catching up, no partying for me .. espiecally since I also took on an extra 9 hours at work this week .. (I need the cash .. desperately. I'm beyond broke ..)

 

[Emma-Leigh]

Hmm .. alright workout I guess. I don't know what it is but with this workout I've been finding my Chin-up/Pull-up strength is going down, and all the other back work is just so hard to get done..

Rest tom... One of the first signs that you may be 'pushing' it is that your lifts start to go down...

Take it from the walking wounded..... You don't want it to get bad...




Seems like we all suck at the moment.... Hope your day is better today.

I know I really do need the rest .. but I honestly believe I can pull out another 3-4 days. It's just this particular workout that I find has been sucky for the last 2-3 weeks .. I don't know what it is. Because I'm progressing quite nicely on my other Back day ...

Ya .. funny how that happens, it seems that when something really bad happens, it happens to us all at once ...

Love ya Emma xoxox

 

[Tom_B]

On a side note I'm STARVING .. god I just want more cottage cheese, I would KILL for more .. but I'm so scared about my tummy... guh.

 

[bigsahm21]

I'd eat some cottage cheese too, but alas, I would also worry about what it would do to my tummy. That shit's poison my man. It bewilders me how some people eat it.

Look at my OH Pressing ! 100lbs for reps, HELLS Yes! Great workout, lots of increases in weight/reps .. however my shoulders really burnt out on the last set of everything, it's a wonder I didn't fuck them up. Going to have to start up some rotator cuff work..

Diet -

Additional: Crystal light, green tea, SF syrups, VSL#3

Bigsahm21: Well I got my wish tonight !! The hunger was just too much and prevailed .. I gorged on Cottage Cheese It may be "poison" to some, but to me ... omg. Best thing ever !

Well Hectic day .. I've literally been on the run all day, even worked a bit of a longer shift tonight at work ..
I also picked up some of this VSL#3 stuff .. looks promising! (theres a link of the stuff in my "Additionals"
I'm sooo drained though. Just physically beat from lack of food, checked my weight this morning .. 140lbs, which means I'm down 2.5lbs since Sunday (I'm also leaner ..) ... Hunger has been crazy all day, and at the end of the day it got the best of me.. I caved and had a second serving of my cottage cheese concoction thing. BUT the good news is theres no horrible stomach cramps, bloating or distention ! Now Mind you I still have yet to pass a bowel movment since they cleaned me out Tues, but maybe thats normal and I gotta wait a bit to let the bowels 'fill up' ?? .. Here's hoping.
Also .. I won't be eating Easter Dinner this Sunday with my family becuase
a) Current tummy stuff .. I know that if I sat down to dinner I would just completely lose control, and gorge and stuff myself, probably eating till I puked. I want the stomach to 'heal' up a bit more before I do something like that..
b) I'm having my own 'food-a-thon' next weekend. (well hopefully, if all things work out.)

Ok but now I'm off to bed - LONG WEEKEND!! whoo-hoo , that means sleeping in tomorrow ! And only two more workouts before my well needed/deserved rest, which then means I'll be getting to sleep in for over a week straight

 

[Double D]

I took a look at the last workout and all I see is CRAZY!!! I know the feeling!

 

[BulkMeUp]

Well, it is a shame having to pass on Easter dinner. Hopefully the rest will make you feel better.

That was one hell of a workout! Lots of increases, and byt the time I got to the third alternating set I was sweating and my chest/back was just fried. And then the core work destroyed my abs, I absolutely love those dragon flags, hard as fuck.
Overall I really liked this workout and may use a layout like that for my next routine ... hmm maybe
Quads + Shoulders
Chest + Back
Hammies + Lats
Gotta do some thinking though.

Emma: I know I was so excited to actually poo, so were all my friends we were all so happy! LOL Although this mornign I woke up and it was just the 'hard nut' stuff again The only thing that bothered my tummy the other day was possibly the Peanut butter after increasing that .. going to cut it back down a little. And of course I May have overdone it on the Cheese LOL, omg in Total I had 1.125KG of Cottage Cheese yesterday Oh well, for some reason when I got home I got right upset that I had lost weight earlier in the week and was like " O I know how to solve that, FOOD ! "

LOL I was just a mess last night, was so out of it. At one point mom was like ' God I wish you would eat dinner with us tomorrow .. you dont' have to worry your stomach isn't big ..' I was just like ' Yes mom I know my stomach isn't big at all, I have abs. (and this is where I flashed my stomach), it's just I don't want to be eating gravy and all that with my stomach how it is. Plus I know once I started to eat that food I would lose control and eat wayyy to much and I want to make sure my stomach is feeling it's best before I do that. Which she understood ..
BUT I also just found out guess how were having our dinner?! At the Restaurant today, while it's open, while me and dad are WORKING and it's during the supper hour. !! even if I wasn't with the stomach problem I wouldn't want to eat it anyway. It would basically be me sitting out front taking a few bits of my meal, having to run back to the kitchen cook up a few orders, run back out front to the table take a few more bites of my food, run back to the kitchen to work etc. No fucking way I'm doing that. And dad would be doing the same thing! Oh my family . Oh well I'll have my own little Easter celebration Friday night.
