Heard about this.

My doc says it's my diet.

Exactly what he said about my blood work too.

Maybe a second opinion if it ever gets to that point.

My doc says it's my diet. <----- Standard doctor response. they all say that at first. That's probably what they tell them to say in med school. . I'm sure dude. All we eat is chicken and leaves. We don't even use salt most of the time. It is not your diet.

[Java Man]

Kinda funny you mention this - I just checked the prescribed dose(40mgs) whereas the OTC I believe is 20mgs/per tab... May have to ask the doc about this... But after reading Sfla's link I'm not so sure... I may try the apple cider vinegar ugh

double post.

Yes the OTC is 20 but they cost $1.20 per pill. LOL. The max allowed by the FDA for prescriptions of Omeprazole is 80mg/day. I have read that problems with absorption of nutrients can occur in doses higher than that and even at that. 60 is probably ok but I'd talk to your doc about this. I know a lot about it but I'm no doctor.

[NACH3]

Seriously dude, go to a specialist on gastric issues. I didn't know you had been trach'ed before. You probably already have a specialist then. It is so important to make sure you don't get complications if your acid problem is more than just a simple case of heartburn. And the way we are describing it, chronic, no reason for it, regurgitation and or even closure that causes choking on food, etc. Once GERD is in full force, you will eventually get Barrett's. That is a precursor to esophageal cancer. It's like being told you have emphysema when you're a smoker. If you don't quit smoking right then, you WILL develop lung cancer. It's not an if it's a when. Same deal with gastric disease. it is progressive.

I just read up on everything you just described... I know I have gastric issues(everytime I've been in there for constipation(back when was on pain pills) very harsh/nauseous stomach I got CT SCANNED w/berrium contrast and they said looks good(I don't believe half the shit they say even tho they did save my life).... Shit I've had 6 ventral hernia surgeries on top of all that other stuff with my trach - I know something isn't right in there

Note* I do only take one a day and seems to work - I'm wondering if it wasn't just something I ate yesterday in the am moreso... Idk

[Java Man]

Oh ya. Took a bottom pain of glass out of my front window, got a piece of plexy glass and cut her door into it.

Haha! That's cool. I have 4 cats. They would love that kind of deal.

I don't trust those fvckers either. I always get copies of everything. I know how to read a scan. I know anatomy quite well. I know what I am looking at. If I don't like something about it I tell them to test it more and why I want it. You don't have to be your own doc but they do work for you. you're their employer. Don't forget that. When I had pancreatitis I had the radiologist take me in the back room and he went through all kinds of awesome software shows that most people never get to see. I had gotten af full body scan, and he was showing me the full color top down view, going step by step in 1mm slices. it was awesome. You can't get copies of all that data I don't think but you can get a lot.

Nice Sfla!

I'm doing arms today too... Looking forward to trashing them - for some reason I like going w/bis first(Kel had mentioned a cushion like when the bis are pumped and almost get a slight recoil off of them(being so full of blood) how do you like tris first!

I try and keep preachers for 2nd/or 3rd exercise(and finish w/hammers) heavy first then maybe running the rack after till my arms can't move - your strength is certainly going way up! Good stuff buddy & how you feeling? What wk you in?

[novastepp]

This is my busiest semester of teh three... Can't keep up with this thread at all most of teh time or something else in life suffers.

Maybe tomorrow I will find extra time in the day???

Hit back last night as a pullback:

Medium grip pulldowns. 3 sets, and went to failure on the third set.
DB rows: 3 sets, went to failure on the last set.
Straight bar, straight arm lat pushdowns: TUT 2 sets of 12-15. Fire in the lats! Finally did them well and am going to start my workouts with these during my full blown HIT sessions, but most likely will not go too heavy or beyond failure because my form gets compromised.
BB shrugs: 3 sets of 15, no failure, just smooth 2 secs up, 2 sec contraction, 2 secs down.

Ended with some biceps because time is limited again this weekend

Preacher over the incline: love these! 3 sets of slow controlled reps, did hit a rest pause on the last set after failure on each arm.
Reverse grip ez curl: 2 sets of slow curls to emphasize forearm. No failure, but heavy burn ~12-15 reps.
Behind the back BB forearm curls 3 sets of ~15 to get a pump and work them by themselves.

Great final pullback work for back/bi. Looking forward to an HIT workout because my grip and my lat strength seemed very high yesterday.

Unlock it in the morning and lock it just before I go to bed. She goes as she pleases.

[marcus300]

I'm so stressed guys I cant explain it on the open forum and don't want to personally either for reasons some of you know but work is killing me and my own work is over powering me.

Training is good but just did biceps and forearms today but killed them, 3 guys asked me what I was using. I told them to fuk off I'm training, which isn't like me I don't do nastiness but things are on top of me hard.

Back is killing me,
shoulder is fuking murdering me
and my chest workout was like a woman's

Going to have to organise everything in order and deal with the horrible sh1t what comes my way.

In the USA you guys have it soooooo good with your laws fuk me, well done

So walked out of work and one of these were parked right by front door. <img src="http://forums.steroid.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=161949"/> Bugatti....Floyd Mayweather just bought one for 3.5 million dollars. Just insane

** esophagus

My old man suffered from chronic heartburn, but by the time he went to the Dr, it was too late. The acid reflux had pretty much eaten away that flap at the bottom of the esophagus, as well as developed Stomach Ulcers.

That sucks. I was diagnosed with Barrett's Syndrome about 3 years or so ago. Take generic Prilosec daily. Works great. Doc said when you have it there's about a 10% chance of it becoming cancerous. Lovely. I'm due to make an appt to get scoped again to check on it.

Great workout guys!!!

OK tris before bis is just something I always done. For one maybe it's old school mind set larger group first?

I've actually been meaning to switch it up as I have seen it mention here before.

Feeling great now. I think today marks week 6

Hope everything slows down with ya big guy, hopefully soon. Hope everything workouts for ya. If you need anything feel free to let me know.

Also that woman workout would kill most people.

I always do bi's first because when I tried to do tris first, the pump starts to hurt when i move to bis. The pump from bis doesnt hurt when I do tris. Nothing overtly scientific about that, just what works for me.

I should add, that I warm up both lightly before hitting any real weight on the biceps, so that my elbows, wrists, and forearms are properly prepped.

I work them both at the same time. I superset them rather then resting

I've done both - & tho I like the S/S method... I feel the pump isn't nearly as strong and your bis/or tris don't get blasted like working them separately... Just my exoerience... I've done it both ways - whatever works right

Just got done mine a couple hours ago. Knees have been sore this past week, probably due to the last heavy squat day. Not really sure exactly what to attribute it to. Anyway, skipped extensions today and just did:

Verticals - 2 quick sets, 15 reps, lighter than normal
Squats - 1 medium weight set (not light, just medium) 15 reps
Seated Leg curls - 2 sets, 10-12
Calf crap

Keeping it a bit lighter and quicker felt good for a change.

Just got back from getting a rental.while.my truck is repaired. Pretty sure they were laughing when I left. They stuck me, a 6'2" ,fat, 270+ lb. ginger (with a braid halfway down his back and more ink than most people.can tolerate) in a fvcking candy@ss red Hyunda Accent. I about knocked myself out and dislocated a shoulder getting in the d@mn thing. Also, to top it all off, the car smells like a blunt.
Nothing against Hyundai, but this damn vehicle is awful small.
I'll be sooo glad to get my truck back next week. I'm way off of my usual sleep schedule, so going to crash out in a little bit and get up to lift early morning. Off work tonight.

They got you!

Reminds me of a time in college when I had to get a rental while my truck was getting fixed. They stuck me in a lipstick bright red Ford Focus. My crazy roommates put a sign on it one day that said Hot Pepper! I keep seeing people giggling in my rear view mirror and didn't notice until I parked on campus. I left it on until I returned the car. We also took that car on the Mississippi River levee and took it mud riding and sliding down the levee with the parking brake!

Ah, college!

I'm really liking this pre-exhaust method. I've been doing it a few weeks and really feel it's making a difference, probably keep it up a few more weeks then switch back to heavier with less reps for a bit. Hope everyone has a great night!

I got to drop the tren for sure but I have to stop the hiccups my chest hurts so bad. I took a Zantac, all I could get at 7-Eleven. Anybody have suggestions? I'm fuked.
