Although she did mention a small umbilical hernia I have it's very small in my belly button, I have been monitoring it. And it's size does not change nor does it cause any discomfort, and is not overly visible unless looking for it so it does not concern me at this stage.
Next up was a physical, cardio, strength flexibility ect.
So straight up I have to remove my shirt and sit on the bed. She starts by saying. "do you use steroids?" I say no obviously, she then asks " have you used steroids?" I say no yet again. This physical lasted about half an hour during that tine the whole topic of conversation was steroid related, all implying I use. It was getting very annoying.
She then put a heart monitor on me and got me on the bike at a very mild pace of 50 rpm. All the time talking as she upped resistance every now and then, my heart rate got upto around 140 after 6 minutes. Now I am well aware my cardio sucks due to not doing any, however as of last week I ha e been doing cardio twice weekly and will now continue to do so.
Anyway so I finish bike and she tells me my cardio is very poor. I had no shortness of breath at all I maintained normal conversation with her the whole time, she told me she had to stop increasing resistance early because my heart rate was getting to high. And then continued to talk/lecture about steroids
And this fkn woman is very overweight, and looks like the last time she was on a bike was when it had training wheels and she was learning to ride it.
So now she has me feeling like shit and my new job seems some what doubtful.
