Sorry to hear about your injury Big,

Although, I would like to comment on your heart issues.

I'm no cardiologist by any means, but I can tell you that a very close friend of mine was diagnosed with the same thing as you, arterial defibrillation, but after many many test and trips to different specialist, he found out that it was actually something else, it was called: Endothelial dysfunction, basically a big word to say that his arteries and peripheral blood vessels would not dilate adequately for proper blood flow, so his angina was relative to this, now when he finally got this diagnosis, the specialist told him that no matter how well he ate, if he could not control his stress levels, he would not fully recover.

So he embarked on a different path that most bodybuilders would even think of, this path included yoga and meditation!! Yes, you read this correctly...LOL he even lagued about it, but decide to at least give it a try, anyhow...fast forward to 2 years later...now he enjoys life to it's fullest..inside and outside of the gym, although he has not had any full blown angina attacks and BP surges, there have been little ups and downs along the way, he fully believes the yoga and meditation helped him tremendously!

Just something I thought I'd share with you.

Good luck brother!

Already gave him breathing exercises in Yoga. Once he gets even with those I'd send some more Vids. But seriously, I've seen person with the age of 55 even 60 getting their BP problem gone forever with Yoga.

If it wasn't injury .. your heart + BP could have done more damage. With this injury you got to know about the weak heart + BP stuff. Maybe God got you injured to make sure you care for your major problems ( heart and BP).

As you are already injured and would take 2 to 3 months. I'd suggest you start with Breathing exercises ( Indian style Yoga Breathing exercise or Japanese Style Breathing). Both these will help in aid your heart with Oxygen + make it stronger.

I've seen people thinking Breathing exercise is for old ppl. But In reality its basic of life.

Take care Man. Slow down if needed. But Stay with us.

Sorry I didn't mention this is my post Cyber,,,I read your post...but just wanted to reinforce the benefits of yoga.

Want to borrow mine? Seriously if you think it would be more benefit to you I would loan it/send it to you to use.

**songdog** · 08-03-2010, 09:25 PM

Sorry to here that big guy.I fell and shredded mine last year.Hope you have better luck with yours.

**MrGreen** · 08-06-2010, 08:24 AM

Sorry to hear about this sure your regaining some use by now although I didnt read the whole thread.

Pictures of car???

I have several mustangs myself. Tore down one that was a turbo car mid 9's and now trying to finish up the new chassis for the twin turbo setup. Should be high 7 to low 8's although the cage is only cert to 8.50. LOL Will have to just keep in on pump gas.

damn sounds nice!
here's the 502 vette

and the Mazda I'll be fixing up just for something different

**MrGreen** · 08-08-2010, 03:09 AM

That vette is clean!! Gezz.... What does it weight? 2600 or so? Im sure it moves! Need a little dope on that thing!

This is the old turbo car on the dyno.

717 on pump gas and 21 psi
980 on C-16 and 35 psi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzKgIOecOSM

The 2 daily drivers 03 cobra and 06 dyna glide.
Cobra is currently getting a ported blower put on and when I get it back I am going to split the 125 shot into 2 kits one 75 and one 50. Car made 480 rwhp with no dope before should be real close to 700 after new blower and dope.

New car is still in the works should be in paint soon then just have to put it back together. Its about frame up as you can get on a fox body car. LOL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjcewgu2SYk

As you can tell by the date I have been working on this one for a while!

**MrGreen** · 08-08-2010, 03:10 AM

The turbos are mounted up behind the lights so they can not be seen from anywhere and the piping is hid along the frame rails so its hardly visible from under the hood. Exhaust runs inside the fender and will exit out the back as if it was factory exhaust but have cutouts behind the front tires dumping to the ground. AC/PS and all that good stuff all while making 1k+ rwhp! LOL Unsuspecting folks are going to be handing over some cash.

I would love to have a more rare car like that vette but I just cant afford those damn things!! My shell cost me 600 bucks! LOL A vette shell like yours would be several grand. Maybe in a few years! I have the woman and little one eating up every spare penny for now! LOL

Since you have a vette I have to do it.

Plates for the twin turbo car. :hello

**Big** · 08-08-2010, 03:46 AM

some damn nice rides right there^
never weighed the vette.
I need to get some current bike pics as well

We can trade! LOL My pile of parts and project car for that vette

LMK!! LOL

A friend of mine passed away and that was his bike. His dad called me and asked if I wanted it because he couldnt keep it and didnt want to get rid of it. SO I bought it off of him 2 years ago with 3k miles for 8k. I thought it was a killer deal and although I never wanted a bike I figured my boy would want me to have it also. Since then me and the woman ride the hell out of it and she went from not even wanting to ride to wanted to get her own! Doubtful I will ever be alive and not have a bike now that I have enjoyed one for myself.

What do you ride?

**Big** · 08-08-2010, 04:28 AM

Sportbikes, I have a couple R1s, one stock and one modded, and I have an FJ1200 I plan to make into a drag bike, but it's in pieces.

**MrGreen** · 08-08-2010, 05:37 AM

That new R1 sounds freakin sweet with the new crank design but I just dont fit on them right being so tall. I hear BMW just recently came out with a sport bike that is amazing and fast as hell.

How is your injury anyway been a couple months.

**Big** · 08-08-2010, 05:50 AM

I can push with the arm, but still can't really pull. In about a month I'm going to start some very light curls and pull-downs.

not sure if you read my post a while back in the Europe Vs America post regarding my $76,000 hospital bill i got for my infected leg.. anyways, what i didn't get into was that since i had been employed and recently laid off (with in 6 months) and i owned a home in Sacramento county i qualified for this program that was paid for by the city that paid for the whole thing.. there are a lot of things out there that you can still qualify for if you are unemployed or self employed that you will have never even heard of.. so don't lose hope just yet, there is a chance you can get some kiknd of assistance..

good info, one of the nurses was telling me about some grant program they have, I'm going to check into it.

**MACHINE5150** · 08-08-2010, 06:50 AM

That Vett is sick.. what you got under the hood?

Heres mine..

1969 Camaro SS rebuilt in 1997 by the guy in the video.. 454 bored out to a 468.. blowing a mean 750-850 HP.... They don't have these over here in Ireland.. so the ladies go nuts whenever i take it out..

yeah.. it was random.. i was fortunate that my GF's mom was a nurse and was able to help me out with the process, but there are things out there. good luck with the recovery bud

**Big** · 08-08-2010, 06:55 AM

wow, beautiful!!!
vette has a healthy normally aspirated 502, 700R4, 2500 stall and 3.70:1 rear. I couldn't go too crazy because I don't want to cut it up and traction is a serious issue. I actually considered tubbing the rear, but some of my corvette purist buddies bitched and moaned till I backed off.

**MrGreen** · 08-08-2010, 08:04 AM

Machine beautiful car! Looks great!

Big if you switch over to EFI there are several systems with TC that would amaze you. Getting a 800+ hp car to hook isnt near as hard as it use to be these days. Hell even running a carb with a MSD 7531 or EFI you still have control over your timing curve and are able to use a TC system.

There is some crazy stuff out there! David Wolfe just recently went 3 or 4 times back to back 4.4X's in the 1/8 on a DR tire! LOL Thanks to AMS1000.

**lovbyts** · 09-05-2010, 05:34 AM

OK time for a bump and update...

**lovbyts** · 02-06-2011, 09:26 AM

I did see that but I have a hard time believing he would just stop 100%. I hope he stops back by to let us know how he is doing, how things are healing.
