Squats- 110x6x4<---Up 10pds(Felt like CRAP and struggled on first 2sets, after that refocused and got mad! Got "easier" from there out!)
Suitcase DB DL- 55x6x4<---Up 5pds
Asst Chins- 65x6x4<---Up 5pds
BB Bench- 110x6x4 <--- Up 10pds(Felt like i could add another 5pds easy)
Scrushers- 50x6x4 <---Up 10pds
Military Press- 50x6x4<---Up 5pds(These didnt feel as hard, guess we will see when i go up in reps next week)
Weight= 155! <--- Woohoo! I hit my goal! +10pds Since i got outta the Hospital beginning of Feb!
Next week will be the REAL test and see how i do with higher reps! By the end today i was runnin low on fuel.

The National Health and Nutrition Survey reported that;
Less than 10% of Americans consumed five daily servings of fruit and vegetables
40% ate no fruit or fruit juice
50% ate no vegetables
70% have no dietary vitamin C
80% didn’t eat anything that had carotenoids
The number one vegetable in the United States is French Fries and that comprises 25% of all vegetables eaten.
Number two is Iceberg Lettuce and a close third is Ketchup.
If we can’t even eat the minimal amount of alkalizing foods it is no wonder we have such nationwide issues with degenerative diseases caused by acidity.
Dehydration is rampant often because the average American thinks that drinking soda or coffee is the same as drinking water. As well as acting as a diuretic, soda has an acidic range around 2.5 pH. It takes an incredible amount of “good” water to counteract the effects of soda. You may have to drink nearly 32 glasses of 7.0 pH water to eliminate the bad effects of 1 glass of soda. In addition to soda, coffee, caffeine, and smoking all contribute to raising the acid levels in one’s body, thereby contributing to serious health problems. It is important to understand that raising the body’s pH does not cure disease. It does however, allow the body to heal itself by normalizing cellular function and ridding itself of toxins. Also fruits and vegetables will be adding the minerals that are so important to maintaining good health.

Teg, you really should also pay attention to SWG's post above. That alkalizing diet planning he referenced above is about 30% of what my mom does for her job at an extremely expensive spa in southern california... People pay upwards of 2 grand an hour for a private consultation.
I constantly eat veggies and also green supplements and alkalizing tablets to keep my GI / Pancreas issues at bay. Also keep in mind that 95% of substances you take for BB'ing have an acidifying quality to them.
And nice work on the diet man... Just get them greens in there.

Keep pounding the weights and trying to pound down as much good food as you possibly can. You'll start putting on some lean pounds.
And I do wish I could get away with eating some of the stuff you can. I gotta watch every calorie in my old age!! The old metabolism ain't as fast as it used to be!! :laughing:

Dont know if the "greens" tablets you can take to supplement ur intake will help at all. Id look at nutra, i stumbled accross it the other day when i was filling my cart.
I should be out of here *hopefully* by the middle of July. As long as i have my food and weights, im fine.
I had a CRX EF when i was back in college. Dropped a GSR, had it turboed and redid the interior myself. Helps having a mechanic for a dad. Hopefully i can convince him to take the ride down to see me and drop the new engine in my hatch. I fixed the body up before i left. Shaved moldings, replaced old bumpers and such. Outside is sanded and primed. IM going for a sleeper look, no fancy body kits and such. all about PERFORMANCE

Plant supplements wont help him put on muscle, but it could very well help with his overall health and GI condition.

Symptom control is the only thing holding him back. Its not like he can't put on weight. I know when I have a pancreas attack, it puts me out of the gym for a full day - and the next 4 days are whack at the gym. Every meal I eat causes pain.
Just saying, the conventional bullsh*t medicine he is taking for CC is only further acidifying his body and putting stress on his internal organs. The major concern of IBD and CC is developing cancer - which is also encouraged in an acidic host.
Definitely need to balance out the cost and benefit of running these extra supplements and hormones particularly with a pre-existing condition...

I wish your the best there bro! I hope you do get out of there SOONER rather then later! Youll be in my prayers! Wow nice deal right there! GSR+EF= Kick in the pants car! Ive never been the wings/stereo/body kit kinda guy. Always lean mean and clean for me. Always been about going fast and pushing the limits of the car in performance, not what is "in".
Ya i think thats what he was saying?(helping with the overall condition with "greens supps" since eatting my greens is a no no for me try to get em another way so they dont cause pain, restroom trips etc....
Ya i guess i have always had to consider overall health and tahts why ive done what i had to in order to get were im at today.
Ya i think you guys are sayin the same thing, just misunderstanding each other er or something? No?
Yes! The symptoms are what keeps me down of course. Gaining weight is hard in ANY aspect for me, that said, i can do it which i have prooven, and of course its better to do it with eatting "right" then to not. Which is why i eat better then just about anyone i know! PPL thinkin im crazy for putting as many cals in as i do. But then again, its twice as hard for me since i have so much scar tissue built up in the walls of the intestine and what not. Then add on top of it the CC flaring up and that makes it even THAT MUCH harder!
Thats why when i was younger i could still eat and eat and eat AND STILL would LOSE weight and end up in the hospital!
Yes i hate to have to use the conventional ish, but its the only thing that has kinda somewhat worked to keep me alive the last 17yrs! Everything that we have tryed, conventional or not has always ended up at a dead end and didnt work. My Drs are very confused and hate that pretty much everything a typical CC/IBD paitent uses can help keep them symptom free. Unlike me nothing has ever really "worked". My old boss uses Alao Vera juice 3times a day with a very small does of Asacol and hes been Symptom free for over 4yrs now. Same goes with many others i talk to.
^^^ Does all that make sence? Sorry in a bit of pain right now. Tryin to keep my mind away and focus!

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines. It primarily causes ulcerations (breaks/cuts in the lining) of the small and large intestines(just like if you were to cut yourself with a knife on the outside), BUT it can affect the digestive system(GI tract) ANYWHERE, from the mouth to the anus. Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis are frequently referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ulcerative Colitis itself can be cured by removal of the colon as that is the ONLY place its in. I on the other had have Crohns Colitis which is commonly used to describe if one has both as i do. Some drs just classify it as Crohns, period, some do not. There is NO known CURE for Crohns!
Thats the base of what it is, of course now is were we get into what i call the "Bi products of it"
Common symptoms of Crohn's disease include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, poor appetite, fever, night sweats, intestinal bleeding, rectal pain, and rectal bleeding. Most of those are self explanitory really. But hinders my progress but not being able to properly "absorb" nutrients. In other words it goes right through me which in turn creates the diarrhea and weight loss.
Since Crohns starts off as "erosions"(much much smaller like Ulcers). As time goes on the "erosions" become real deep just like a true Ulcer and in fact do turn into one when left untreated/severity of disease! There in turn creates "scaring" IE scare tissue build up and stiffness of the affected area/areas which is 1 reason why a dr pushs on your stomach in certain areas. Hes tryin to feel for that "stiffness". Kinda like when you put your arm up and dont flex the bi muscle it soft, then when flexed its hard, same type of concept applies, just not in a good way LOL Anyways the worse(wider and deeper) the Ulcer gets youll get thinning of the outter wall and will create a hole, WHICH IS NOT GOOD! When that happens bacteria from within the infected area can spread, infecting adjacent organs and the surrounding abdominal cavity. As Crohns gets more sever it will lead to obstructions(narrowing of the inside) creating blockages and will not let through the "contents" that it trying to move through. Kinda imagine tryin to fit a softball through a straw!
Thats just part of it..... Does that kinda help? I can go on lol
Yes sir it does!

Yes. Essentially everything goes right through me. When im in remission(doing well, or "better") it is easier to absorb and have the nutrients do what they are supost to do like a reg persons digestive tract, just not near as effecient since there is already TONS of damage done over the last 17yrs. Each time i get flare up then get better makes it worse. Umm as for the WMS im honestly not to sure exactly, i got a tub from NP to try(Im still researching more on WMS). Ive tryed it different ways, but at the moment im not sure if i like(kinda on the fence). It doesnt bother my gut at all tho which is a bonus lol Im saving the rest i have and will try it with my PW when im done with this tub of Sizeon.
As far as how often i Flare, its all dependent on my body/treatments... These last 3yrs or so ill be fine for 4weeks, then the last 2weeks befor treatment(Remicaide, Biological Drug) ill start to get sick and then the week prior im down and out usually till treatment. A day after treatment i feel better, but not even close to getting back "usual". A week later im MUCH better but thatll only last 3-4weeks and it starts all over again. So anymore Flare Ups are quite often compared to growing up, but then again growing up, i was on some killer drugs, literally but in turn its also what has help keep me alive per se this long! Tho nothing has every really "WORKED" for me and kept me in full remission. Its always a very short period of feeling tip top, or well tip top for me lol

Nope i should be fine as far as i can tell with PHs/Steroids. Ive talked to the drs, did/doing research all the time, and a dr friend of mine said it may even be benificial to take test/PHs cycles as long as i have proper support supps and my Crohns isnt fully active. Right there i know i just hit a nerve with LOTS of ppl/reps lol.
I know of a couple guys who are on TRT(Testosterone Replacment Therapy) and have Crohns. Yes yes i know its different, but from everything i know, can tell or have even heard from them is nothing but good and hasnt affected there Crohns. Also talked to a guy who HAD Colitis, lifted and took the old 1ad, Androplex(think thats what it was called) and said he did a cycle of Anavar as well with no probs and was ALSO on Prednisone(A corticosteroid, not anabolic) Funny thing is over in Europe there actually doing testing with test/viagra to treat crohns, and it has had some good results in the first testing....

i would maybe look into waxi maize starch. its kind of expensive but save it for your post workout shakes, dont mix any other carbs into it(even gatorade) or it will slow down the absorbtion. I guess WMS digests instantly as it touches the lining of your intestense or something like that.

Just thought I would join in the little "honda club" everyone seems to be having on this thread. My car is soo much darn fun. Once my warranty expires... another 25000 miles or another year... probably the year will pass first... I am gonna do all the aspiration work to it, I don't think I am gonna do much more than that, but it should give me another 10-15 hp... I think 220-225 should be a good number for just cruising. 210 is pretty fast right now.
