Dear Pellius,
My doctor told me I will need 6-8 weeks of complete rest from any training including cardio.
Can you see the depression from this side of the computer screen?
Harley

sorry to hear,,you were on a roll,in the zone.

Get well soon Harley,

You have come this far rolling with the punches in life, 6-8 weeks will give you that drive and energy to get into the best shape of your life.

There's always an excuse.

Dear Olympia Gym,
Since the time you called my kids "retards" I've never respected anything you said.
I doubt very much I would respect anything you've ever done, let alone anything you
might ever have done for someone other than yourself.
I never said my injury was an excuse. It just means that my goal will be reached at a later
date.
For people who only seek negativity, even reaching my goal will be met with criticism from you.
Well, I may not have your physique, your bank, and as much love from everyone else as do you, but
I am still comfortable with myself.
Harley

Ouch!

Sorry to hear about that Harley. Just remember, training or not during this time, there is no reason to stop controlling your calories while you recover from this injury. A pound or two down each week is still progress towards your goal.

Keep pushing

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your support.
I am going to try and do my best.
I think I will call Craig and ask him to meet me at a diner for a little pep talk.
Craig is a very understanding guy and doesn't look down upon guys like me who
have food issues.

Hey OG, you sound pretty hard core. Have you ever posted a pic?

Why are you trolling Harley? All he does is keep it real and try to help others. He is truly a quality human being.

Yes! I was about to post something similar. Just because you are out of the gym don't just pig out and get fat. Remember, abs are made in the kitchen not the gym. I believe it was a wise man (True Adonis) who once said bodybuilding should be renamed caloric restriction.

HarleyBreite · « **Reply #2285 on:** November 14, 2015, 11:55:28 AM »

You guys are great. I am calling Craig now for a pep talk!!!

Las Vegas · « **Reply #2286 on:** November 14, 2015, 11:59:24 AM »

If you can get over feeling set back, Harley, it's a perfect time to post more on GB! I still can't wait to read your stories of Brazil, and to see the pictures of the favelas.

67 Nova Pro Street for Big H!!

HarleyBreite · « **Reply #2289 on:** November 14, 2015, 03:28:12 PM »

That Nova is quite similar to what mine will look like in quite a few aspects except:
1) No wing on the back
2) Mine will have a completely flat hood with a rectangular cut out for the 10-71 Blower
3) Mine is a 672 Big Block with Nitrous and Methane Injection added to it
4) The entire motor is chrome.
I very much like the stance of the one shown above.

Harley may think he is done with his past but his past isn't done with him.

Hey Guys,
I had a great meal and pep talk with Craig only to come home and be up all night, once again,
in pain. I had planned on starting cardio and the gym but even running lightly in place was extremely
painful. This is something I never experienced but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night so I know a great
deal about Liver Hematomas now. Actually, after I saw my doctor, I did some Google research and it confirmed
what my doctor said that there is nothing to do but rest for 6-8 weeks.
As the great Scottish poet Robert Burns once wrote about the "best laid schemes of mice and men" so goes I, for now.

Sorry to hear about this Harley but I believe you can turn this negative into a positive. 8 weeks of planning and reaffirming your goals, strengthening your mind as your body heals and time will fly until you are ready to go again this time even more inspired and determined.

Nice Holiday Inn reference, Harley! I have used that one a few times myself.

Hey Guys,
I think I am going to call my friend, a doctor, and go pay for a CAT Scan on my liver.
I just don't understand how there can be constant pain for 10 days, unable to do cardio, unable to lay on that
side of my body, etc.
January will be 26 years I've practiced martial arts and I've never had an injury like this. Of course, my age is
a factor but still, it perplexes me.
Some people have to learn a lesson the hard way. In my case, I finally learned my lesson with nothing short of the
worst and hardest consequences relative to me. I can not resolve the one, major, continuous problem plaguing my life,
causing me serious plunges into depression-- losing weight, while also training in MMA and being perpetually hit all over
my body. Well, I finally learned. I never prescribed to the old adage that there is always a silver lining in the face of malody,
but perhaps this realization corroborates the notion.
This, of course, comes on heels of one of my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructors coming from Brasil to stay with me for a week.
His name is Vitor Terra and he just won the Black Belt Division at the Miami Open and intends to compete Saturday in the NY Open.
He is 10 Time Rio Open Champion and also the youngest Instructor at Gracia Humaita in Rio. Not being able to train with him while I
have his undivided attention for an entire week is just yet another punctuation on this most difficult lesson of my life.
Well, this too shall pass and if I am anything close to what I hope to be, I shall overcome this latest but brutal obstacle.
Harley

dear Harley

very sorry to hear about your injury and the situation it has created for you.

stay strong and positive as you can and know you will heal and recover!

please do get a scan to ensure it is not something more serious like a partial or full rupture of the liver (which is a lot more serious than a hematoma), ive heard people injuring their spleen in similar fashion

hope you recover very soon harley

I've heard of Vitor. So many new school beast coming up.

Here he is with Rickson and Royler. What is Royler's secret? He's 50 years old now and he still looks like how I remember him when he was in his mid twenties. A friend visited me recently who is a BB in Jiu-Jitsu and he told me that Rickson rarely rolls now because of a back injury. Says he walks like an old man now. Not sure how true that is. I believe Rickson is 57 years old now.

How old is Vitor?
