How often does this happen to you? I got a toothache yesterday and it depressed me. Since then I've had two fish finger butties. Some chicken drum sticks and beans etc. I've eaten more chocolate since yesterday than I have all year.


Benni.

 

Aye well I havent had any weight problems but I make up for it with other Sins ...

For instance I've been good for a while with drink ... 4 cans a night ... 20 smokes a day ..

Then things go wrong and I end up drinking 8 tin's (For Ł6) then hit the Vodka while smoking endless Cigg's ..

Happens in cycles .. Not been hitting it latley thou ..

 

only on a friday when im allowed to have some cream scones etc from morrisons.apart from that i havent "fell" off the wagon attall.id be mega dissapointed in myself if i was to have a binge because i felt down....now give me twenty you slacker

 

You can't get fat in a day!

I have one cheat afternoon a week where i usually eat a shitload of food.

However i've seen me taking a sat/sun/mon off the gym and the diet if im not feeling it. I'm confident i would never go back to my old ways so don't see it as too big a problem, obviously not something i'd be doing every week but every 4/5/6 weeks, i don't think is too bad

 

I tore my pec last night benching so I can see me falling off the wagon and it being galloped away far far into the distance.

Atleast 6 weeks off if I'm lucky so all that hard work is all going to go to shit. Just as it was going really well too.

Benni, your toothache is minor mate. Get to the dentist, get it sorted and crack back on.

 

not good attall mate

 

I went the dentist yesterday, Kieron. My dentist is a complete arse hole. Last time he gave me over 5 fillings on seperate visits to solve the problem and it never worked. In the end I went to an emergency medical center and they fixed it with a root canal. They also smoothed all the fillings he did, and redone one of them. When I phoned up yesterday I told the receptionist if he bodged me up again I'd be mega pissed and told her what he did to me last time.

Anyway, after he had a look at my teeth he said 'For the record, we don't do unnecessary work, and we certaintly don't bodge people as you put it' to which I said 'Things have improved then' and left. I shall not be going there again.

Gutted about your pec'. How did that happen and will you need surgery or anything?

Benni.

 

I was doing really well as I'm off on holiday on wednesday but the last month I've been out every Saturday night for mates birthdays getting completely shit faced on Guinness and BBQ and just spent most of this week down in London with work....getting shit faced on Guinness, eating massive paid for 3 course meals and eating fried breakfasts lol.

 

If the meals are paid for, you have to have them. Same with mate's birthdays too.

Benni.

 

Lol, well work were not impressed with my expences bill I've just put in as 12 pints of Guinness is apparently "excessive considering I was supposed to be working" I just replied with "who says I wasn't working? I was networking" Soho House FTW! lol

 

LOL! Working after 12 pints? I'd be on my way to the hospital I reckon' after that.

Benni.

 

Well it was after my meetings, was at eBay one day, some SEO place another, so finish at 3 and straight into the pub, then do it all again the next day.

 

Back to the emergency medical centre then. Not good. lol at your quip though, I bet he was dumbfounded.

Training chest last night feeling good, built up to my heavy set, lowered the weight down to my chest and as I was pushing it up I felt (and heard) it tear. Easiest way to describe it is a rapid popping sound and felt like frayed rope giving way. I told my spotter to take it and then my arm started to go numb and got pins and needles in my hand. I knew what I had done straight away so that was game over. I'm not normally one for the quacks but I had a restless night last night and read some scare stories on the net last night so I wanted to make sure it was just muscle fibres and not the tendon. Got an appointment this morning and it appears to be fibres so its a matter of resting up and treating it with hot and cold. They only operate if its tendons as the success rate for stitching muscles back together is 50% or less. Takes 4 weeks for the swelling to go down?? If I get a purple tit/shoulder I'll take a pic or two.

I just hope I recover OK and that it doesn't make my chest go deformed. Feels pumped/swollen to hell at the moment and bruised. Like someone has inserted a cricket ball in there.

 

Not good Keiron. Hearing it tear as well Fucking hell! That's exactly why I've never done a max weight 1 rep, as if something like this happened, I'd be fucked without a spotter. In fact, someone I went to school with died lifting weights on his own.

 

Died!!! Fuck... and I was feeling down about things, just puts it into perspective. Toothache... torn pec..... death!!!!

Hearing it was weird. Kinda inside my head like the sound had echoed through my body. Sounded like slightly dulled bubble wrap being popped one straight after the other. It went in quite quick succession but I would say about 10 pops

 

LOL! If I had done that and my arm went numb I'd think fuck I've had a stroke

Yeah apparently he blacked out or had a fit while pushing the weight up and dropped it straight on his chest. Was found dead on his bench. He was doing all sorts of steriods etc though at at time though.

 

Maybe it was heart issues? Seem to hear that about big steroid users, although funnily enough when they die it was always a heart defect that they always had but never knew about.

 

toothache is not nice mate,last time it hit me i had to pull over cuz i couldnt concentrate on drivin cuz the pain was so bad!!......i know its rank but clove oil works!

 

Nasty shit

I remember hearing my arm break, then the numbness and the pins and needles/ice cold hand... sickening stuff!

Hope it heals up quickly

 

Thanks Coldo. Fingers crossed it isn't too bad and I can get back on it asap.

Lots of legs over the next few weeks for me! Lord knows I need it anyway. I'm a typical gym pigeon.

 

i tried a maximum lift in the gym one saturday morning when it was empty on the smith machine.i couldnt for the life of me lift it back up.thank god i managed to get it hooked on and slide out under it.even now when im lying in bed i think back and im like what the hell could have happened if i hadnt been able to hook it on and fell on my throat or something.

 

That's terribe Kieron!! Nasty shit mate, I wish you a good recovery! How is your arm now, Coldo?

 

Well the bruising has started. Not where I expected either, the top of my arm on my bi has gone cherry Red. Lots further down than where the chest connects.

 

Not good!! What do you think was the cause exactly?

 

Not a clue. Over exertion? Just one of those things I guess, we all get sports injuries from time to time.

 

Yeah. I hope once it's gone you can forget about it. Hate those that play on your mind.

Benni.

 

Tea time yesterday:



Bed time last night:



This morning:



The bruising has begun! I wonder if my whole tit will go black or red as its pumped to hell so must have some blood in it.

 

Fuck me that looks sore m8.

 

ouch that looks agony mate

 

Fuck me!!!! That looks a lot worse than I imagined.

Benni.

 

Looks nasty!

 

Its getting worse

I wont bore you with more pics unless it looks proper mangled tomorrow.

 

Is it as painful as it looks?

 

Providing I dont use it or touch it, its fine.

It was painful yesterday as it was swelling, today its been better despite looking worse. I can't obviously lift anything heavy but its been more bearable today. The main headache is not being able to get comfortable in bed and waking up as it aches. Some alcohol tonight should sort that though.

Hows the teeth btw??

 

No pain there when I look at these picutres. It's getting better, I am on Anti-biotics.

 

Fingers crossed its an infection then mate and they do the trick.

 

OK, I'll bore you with another pic



I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

 

fuckin el mate that looks bloody sore

 

OMFG!!!! My mouth really did open when I seen that picture.

Benni.

 

Looks like youve had a make-up queen in a headlock
