Long sentences and long words? - This is German.
But thanks for the pointer. In my logic, if you name one thing it is with one word. But in English it is different.

I guess I will first increase his maxstrength as although he might think he is quite strong - he is not.

Thnaks to my new mobility I will go here http://www.iaa.de/index.php?id=home&L=1
this week. One of the worlds largest motorshows. Should be fun.

He will talk to his partner and other trainers. As no one really cares about the lifting his weighttraining is absolute bodybuildinggarbage. And he really feels like his weighttraining runs him down instead of supplementing his rowing. Looking at the plans there is now wonder why - monstervolume, high intensity and going to failure at its best. A bodybuildeon the juice could take this kind of stuff. But not an athlete training 20+ hours a week. And stuff like "benchpress 5x12" for a rower really make me wanna cry.
Rowing is a complicated sport to train for. The olympic race is 2000m, which takes about 5:30-6:30 (or even longer depeding on which boatclass you row in).
Its a realy nasty mixture between a brutally high cardio vascular (your pulse is very close to your max through the whole race) intensity, muscular endurance, lactic acid tolerance and strengthendurance.
Not easy to get the package down.
But lets see what the future brings. If I am in I will step up. MY body is currently disabled but my brain is running. And for exerciseexecutiondemos I can bring one of my other trainees.

- Included some sprints in my daily cycling

This site is probably not very popular on S&P, but maybe you should have at look at the stuff going on at www.gymjones.com. Their elitist talk ist somewhat retarded, but their workouts are geared towards power endurance and very high intensity cardio etc. Workouts are found under "schedule" if you don't know the page.

IAA was fun. The less expensive the cars the hotter the chicks promoting them
Thx for the hint, takeahnase. Also wrote you a pm.

- trainingwise it is buisness as usual. Ride the bike for 30 mins every day. Start incorporating some more intense days. I do more sprinttypestuff on these.

The more you do your cardio the more fun it becomes. But I still miss lifting.

You liar!

- On the bike I now either go 30-60mins steady state or 10min warmup, 10 min intervall and 10 min cooldown.


Weighed in at 76kg today. So I gained 8kg in a month. I am still skinny as hell. Ordered a belt you can use for swimming with the ileostomy. Once it arrived and my HB is over 10 I will go to swim some strokes.
Recentlly had some problems with crampings and pain. But that is normal. Shit happens. AS long as it isnt too bad it cant be an ileus and so I just have to wait for the pain to go away. I usually go and ride the bike once the pain is pretty bad.

Your cardio is still FAR superior to min. Bike for 30 - 60 mins? sheesh.

Great progress Graedy.

Is there a belt of some sort to help you lift light weights? I dont know how the bag works so please excuse my ignorance.

graedy - Check your PMs and get back to me soon.

Just wanted to say again how great this thread is. I got diagnosed with Colitis last xmas(nice gift). I haven't suffered as bad as you so far and have managed to keep going with work and working out though have had to take a few breaks and lost some weight, also though i can go out local anything further has been a no no(so no more MMA or days out in the city).

Thing is i just had my worst flare up so far and the doctors at the hospital brought up the possibility of surgery in the future for the first time. Im due to go on immune suppressants soon so im hoping they will help.

I was just hoping you wouldn't mind answering a few questions about the surgery.

If it is put to me that i should have this what should i ask them about the procedure to make sure they know what they are doing?

Its the NHS and ive heard some bad stories of people being pressured into surgery and want to make sure ive got my info right if i decide to challenge their decision. I might have possibility of going private through work insurance but ive got to check if im covered.

How does the bag effect day to day life? Is it painful, can you sleep comfortably, do you have to have the bag attached at all times or just at certain times?

My diet at the moment is screwed as so many things seemed to effect me, it seems the healthier the food i eat the worse it effects me, yet crap like crisps, ice cream and chocolate have no bad effects. Once you have the operation do you have any restrictions on your diet or can you eat what you like?

Can you recomend any websites for research into the operation?

I know youve been riding the bike are you allowed to run at all? I love running but it seems to irritate the condition so ive not been able to for a while, so was wondering if the bag would allow me to get back to running.

Thanks in advance for any answers and if any questions are to personal then i understand if you dont want to answer them.

Cheers.
