Busy time of year

[NelsonMuntz]

So you guys getting in your workouts ok with the busy holiday season coming upon us?

Between school, building my train set, and walking Potato,etc,  I somehow seem to be keeping myself organized enough to go to the gym.

The weather here in Regina is getting pretty cold however.

im getting my training in just fine, 3 times a week like clockwork, full body. now it might not always work out the way i planned it, sometimes i train late at night rather in the morning, but at least i get there.
same with diet, its not ideal, but i get enough calories in to build upon, i can always regulate it later on if i need to.

in fact im going to the gym right now!!

Am I missing something... when did Nelson become Josh, and why did nobody seem to acknowledge this or care?

I am doing full body as well right now, nice change. I also have changes another thing and added regular post workout stretching, mild nothing crazy

Am I missing something... when did Nelson become Josh, and why did nobody seem to acknowledge this or care?

perhaps it would be better asked when did Josh become Nelson, or was a certain gimmick on here right all along?

How many months/weeks do you typically diet for a show?

Despite my recent pics, I have gone down a full belt size since well over 15-16months. I am downsizing as they say. Blew up badly post kidney failure and sobriety as well as not being in the gym or eating plan in any reg capacity from fall 2011-sept 2015

I normally only do 8-10 weeks tops, Im dieting from the 1st January this time, the show is the back end of May.
I cant diet as hard since I got older, the stress fucks me up, I was totally exhausted this year and almost quit, I had chest pains at one point.
Take it nice and slow in the new year, will be eating around 2400 cals a week, just bring it down slow.

How does the kidney issues affect your lifting?

How does the kidney issues affect your lifting?

few things

1-it literally sucked the life out of me, like I am talking the first year and a half I had zero energy. When I went into the hospital at the end of August 2014 I weighed under 160lbs, essentially 50-60 lbs under what would be anything near what I weighted on average in some format or another since age 12, I started back at the gym with regularity in September 2015 at 225lbs just fat and bloat. I was weak as a kitten and the doctors said I could workout but not strain anymore(BP, enlarged heart etc, although 2 months ago for the hell of it I put 2 plates on the barbell bench and did a nice slow not to failure rep with it, big deal, but I could not bench the bar anymore in sept 2015. Anyways I haven't taken any measurements in the 15 months I have been back working out, but I went down from a full XL belt to an L, I just tried on my winter jacket from last year and my shoulders and back are too big to wear it anymore, And my energy levels have gone up immensly, especially the last year. I can essentially do most of what anyone would normally do in the gym these days, I just use the weights like the Gambler song more and play within my range

Literally though the first year I could easily sleep 12 hours, get up, go do a few things for an hour and have to fight to keep from sleeping another 12 hours.
I never understood what the fuck people meant about what it was like to be sick, like really sick as in heart attack, organ failure, concussion, accident, any life threatening condition and/or surgery until I end up in the hospital for 10 days, half of which in intensive care pissing ketchup colored fluid out of my cock several times a day. And I never understood why they had no energy after the fact and why recover took so long, until I was there?

I would assume that answers it a bit. Not an easy answer to put into words actually. I even felt te drained feelings come back writing about it

Sounds brutal. Do you feel normal now or do you have bouts of zero energy?
