I will start my new routine on saturday (hopefully).
Its gonna be a 3 day kind of full body spilt.
Lets see how it works.
I will write down everything in KILOS.

Why the title?

Because normally im not supposed to lift anymore. i have a very bad disesease (ulcerative colitis) and have to take high amounts of cortison.
Sometimes i will not be able to train (because of the bloodloss) and sometimes i wont be able to eat properly.
So it will sometimes be on step forward and two steps backward.

But working out and doing sports is hte passion of my life and if i give up on that i give up on myself.

So as Winston Churchill once said:" We will NEVER surrender!"

Hope you are interested.

not exactly the best place to ask this but

WTF does that diesease do?

[graedy]

chronical inflammation of your colon.-->bleeding, increase probablity of getting cancer, go to toilett very often , tireness, other diseases on your skin, lungs, joints (havent suffered this so far ), pain, feeling like vomiting.

you can just fight the symptoms as nobody on this fu.. world knows the reason.

if anyone has some questions about the disease fell free to ask.

the disease is pretty unknown. i think thats because although its a uncureable disease its not deadly (not anymore, before the invention of cortison many people died).
but the numbers of people who get this disease or a pretty similar one called morbus crohn go up. the sufferage of the people varries very much as it can only be a small inflammation and light medicaments help or its a big one and even cortison doesnt help (like in my case) or the inflammtion eats into the colon .
anyway, i want to enlighten about it so that people understand affected person better.
and maybe you will think:" how lucky am i not to have this?" or you will realize once again how fast everything can change bad and how little influence you have on this. and maybe you will enjoy every moment a little bit more after that.

Fuck. Man, I just wanted to let you know that this is inspiring. I just lost one of my two jobs, due to a change of contract by the "higher-ups", and Ive been feeling shit about that, but reading this is an effective kick up the ass. Wish you every luck in both lifting and life, you are an inspiration already.

Ive a workout log at http://www.livejournal.com/users/dexter_c/ Feel free to leave comments.

-BP 6x90 kg / 6x95 / 5x100 / 10x87,5 (had to get the feeling)

- Bent over rows 12x87,5 / 8x92,5 / 6x95 / 4x100 (pretty strict form;i think i gonna do 4x6 with 95 kg the next time)

- Front Squats Technique (will change the order with bent over rows because although it was light weight for technique i felt my back)

- some sets of lying dumbell extensions (used the heaviest one s we have, not very heavy but we will get new ones soon ) superseted with ab work

- some more core work


tested the new heavy bag we have now. great fun.

[graedy]

had to go to toilett about 15 times today. felt very bad. decided to train anyway because afterwards i always feel much better. im down to 20 mg cortison .

-Deadlifting warmup to 130 kg (experimented a bit with sumo stlye)/ 3x130 / 1x140 / 1x145 / 1x150 (all done with double overhand grip - didnt go higher because its the second time i deadlift some weight, not just form. i think the 170 kg are not far away. maybe i will be able to do the 200 at the end of the year)

- shrugs (first time in my life ) 4x8x105 (setsxrepsxkg) easy

- side raise 10x / 9x / 9x heaviest fix dumbells we have (dont know what they weigh)

- Tate Press 12x fix ones / bulided the heaviest db possible ( 20 kg :p -soon we will get some 10 kg plates for the dumbells ) x8 / x5 / 12x fix ones

couldnt do core today


my friend, who started lifting with me about 6-7 months ago (after dropping 15 kg of bodyfat before and 5 kg of fat while lifitng) maxed out on BP. 95 kg. not bad for half a year of training (he started with about 60 kg max). im almost as proud as when i break PR myself.
