JKurz's Log "Mirrors are all hidden"!

I never actually had full blown cancer. The tumor was caught, had a biopsy (painful as hell) and I am ok.

bro, don't take cancer too lightly. my mum had it caught as you say in an early stage. 2 tumours were removed - one malignant and one benign. the doc said at that stage that she'd be ok and that the risk was low. the next time around she went for tests, they found it had actually spread even though they had operated very early. one thing led to another - she had to undergo god only knows how many radiation therapy and chemo therapy sessions, each time tests showed it had further worsened till finally 18 mths after the operation the doc told her "you have no more then 6 months to live". and that's it, within 2 yrs of her operation it reached the final stage when they call it "galloping" when it spreads all over your internal organs uncontrollably. when that happens, your lungs get affected, they fill up with fluid and you choke to death on your own body fluids - which is what happened.

the thing is - and note i'm hardly an expert - there are different types of cancers apparently in the sense that some people have more aggressive ones like my mum. some others have very placid ones and they will probably live pretty much their full lives after they are operated. so it's not like i'm telling you to start worrying. just don't do anything which will jeopardize your already frail health (gear - especially at this stage). as of now, docs really don't understand fully what can trigger cancer let alone know how aggressive a person's ailment is - so why take chances.

thanks...and I agree.

What I decided to do, was since the 250mg would only clog my receptors for 8 weeks, is to wait. Train heavy, eat heavier, rest and recover clean. Wen I get up to 180-185 naturally (if I make it without going crazy and backing out, I'll hit a good test/eq cycle at 500mg/wk, 400mg of eq up my cals, add in a little cardio and hopefully hit the 200ls mark. Hows that sound?

Thursday - July 27th

Well, didn't feel to swell this morning. Severly cut my carbs yesterday and my calories were on the low end as well, as it was my off day and I had a conference most of the afternoon. I think this played a role in me feeling run down today. I need to stay on target, need to get in all my meals. Spoke to my trainer who just took 2nd in the NPC's in pittsburg. He walked on stage at 175, totally shredded, sub 4% (6pt test).....yesterday, he was 208 with a tank top and shorts on. He told me his abs were faded, but felt great, swole and looked good in a tank top. He continued with "all I need to do is impress 11 judges 2x a year....other than that, it's all about gaining mass. " He's natural too. He told me he aims for 50g of protein, 70g of carbs in each of his NINE yes NINE meals....yikes...pw is 90 g of carbs in those 3 meals.....this is nuts, how does he stay so lean? He claims he owes it to his recipe of 1 1/2 cup oats dry, w/ 2 scoops blend, and makes it into a pudding...thats how he gets his cals in with no bloat. Unreal. Does this sound crazy? Why am I the only one with the mental problems of losing the abs? Here's what I got going today, will update.....please tell me your thoughts:

500 am
6 BCAAS
515 TRAIN (ABS, TRAPS, CALVES, FORARMS)

700
3/4 CUP OATS (2/3 DRY - REALLY BEGINNING TO LOVE THE TASTE OF RAW OATS!!!)
1 scoop whey
1/2 cup skim
1/2 cup egg beaters all in a shake w/ creatine and glutamine...net meal is 9:45

another cup of oats!!

almost pasta time.....didnt measure it today....just wipped out about 1/4 of the box...prob. 3 servings + a good, complex carb of 70-80g, big ass salad...and 8 oz lean ground beef......should I share?

 

[Tweakle]

650g's of carbs is flex 'diet of the pros' stuff, I doubt he actually eats that and stays lean if he's natural.

you should have a pretty good idea of your insulin sensitivity by now so you'll know how many carbs you actually need.

for me anything much over 150gs a day will make me a fat pig very quickly.

he's 100% natty and definately eats 500+ a day....150 is on the extremely low end...I eat about 400 right now (on a good day) and sit all day in an office....I am for 40g of protein and 60g of carbs in every one of my 7 meals....8th meal is prebed. You wont be a fat ass if you double your carbs...trick is to make them clean bro.

Would be nice, but my body doesn't partition nutirents too well even on a gram of tren a week going over 150g's makes me fat. Remember I'm not an ecto (not even close). That said, I tend to eat 300g's on leg days but 50% of that is immediately post workout.

My only carb sources are old fashioned oats, brown rice, yam.. and of course pizza
