For those of ya'll who don't know, I apparently have chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It comes from getting hit in the head really hard a bunch. (article on it: Dead athletes' brains show damage from concussions - CNN.com). This pretty much spells the end of my football career unless i get brawny and stupid and play anyway. Since i'm not planning on getting stupid I'm now devoting my life to body building. I'd like to be on a stage next summer ('10) but realistically I'll build up until Christmas 2010 and try to do a show in summer of '11.

day four arms
day five abs

7:30 whey shake with cup of oats and flax
8:00 shock therapy
8:15 in the gym
9:30-10:00 whey shake with storm
10:30: chicken breast with full cup of rice (measure dry) and fruit
12:00: roast with sweet potato
3:00 chicken breast with cup of rice
4:00 last heavy carbs of the day: natty peanut butter sandwhich on wheat
6:00 two chicken breasts with broccoli
8:00 24 ounces of fat free milk. last thing of the day usually.
between 11-12 is bed time.

This is my post for my workout from today. also in my old log.


alright the workout:today was arms. i don't like having just an arms day, but it gives another day in there for recovery so i don't have to take two off days. i think i'm going to turn my other off day into a go to the gym and stretch day haha.

I weighed in today at 169...i'll wait a few days and see if that's level or goes up/down before i make it official...

bi's:
standing b.b. curl
115 lbs (b.b.+ 35's) 4 sets of 8
21's
75 lbs 3
standing d.b. curl
50 x 8 x 1 this was extremely easy so i raised it
60 x 8 x 3 the last 4 reps on the last set had some body english
45 x max reps (body english free)x 1 i think i did 11 but i wasn't really counting
tri's
standing tri press 100 lbs (we don't have any higher weights at my gym ) x 4 sets of 12
skull crushers 90 lbs x 3 sets of 12
tri kickbacks 30 lbs x 4 sets of 12

I don't really like all the high rep work right now, so i'm going to try to raise the weight up next week.

I'm heading out for birthday lunch, then i'm going to go apply at the hotel. hope everyone's having a fantastic day in the gym

nice to have you aboard man.

good luck with your head injury.

I've had a bunch of tests run over the years, I couldn't play football my sr. year in high school due to a concussion. They brought me in friday for some more tests, then told me what they thought it was and that they couldn't really do anything about it.

For a little more background on where I'm at now, I got on the football team at SFA, (i didn't tell them about my head) and busted my knee out. I limped around for a year, and by the time it was strong enough to lift again (i didn't get surgery) i met a girl who didn't want me to lift. Didn't want a buff b.f. I'd fallen head over heals for her, and would make her my fiance within 3 months. She dumped me at 4 am valentines day, and 3 days later I was back in the gym.
It's been a month and 21 days since then and i've put on 24 pounds in that time, following the diet I've been following. I've been using the supplement stack for 2 weeks tomorrow.

Man I hit my head on the concrete after wrestling around with a buddy... crack in my skull, blood clot in my brain, bleeding 3 spots internally, and had a contusion. I had 2 doctors and 2 nurses tell me that patients with that severe of a head injury usually are in a coma, paralyzed, or dead (EEEEESH!)

I went back a year later and got another cat scan and they told me my head healed good so far but that it was STILL HEALING A YEAR LATER! (YIKES!)

So as severe as it was im amazed i dont have any serious side effects... for awhile i had pain while heavy lifting but that has been gone for 3 years or so

what a weird girl. i assume she was with the EMO crowd if she wanted you to stay that skinny. also, anyone that superficial isn't whats best for your heart. keep slugging away at life brotha, that's how success is measured on and off the field.

yea man.

actually the thing was, she was 4'11 (extremely smart girl, not emo at all actually) and i'm 6'1, and i'm kind of a huge guy...always have been. just really thick boned...and i think she was worried about me getting even bigger...
idk

it wasn't the best relationship, but i was enamored by here and didn't see that at the time.

that's almost not funny...one of my concussions came in middle school in the weight room. we had a really small weight room and i was doing crunches and a kid was doing bench press and he lost it and a 45 slipped off and hit me in the head.

Hey Natty, nice to see you got a new thread going. I am registered for an NPC in october, but I think I may drop it. I have not had near the time to devote to my bodybuilding this school year that I was planning. Are you in school at all right now?

I feel your pain though on concussion and such. I have had my fair share. I had one last semester doing MMA. I caught a standing arm bar weird and slammed my head... that put me out for over a month.
