Time To Hulk Out!

[gotmojo]

Cutting right to the chase, I am a former pro ball player who has just recovered from "menegirial neuropothy", I just recieved the all clear from the doc to hit the gym again and am in need of a "comeback routine and diet".
Here are the stats: befor I got sick I was at 323 lbs w/ 18-20 bf, I was w/o 4-5 days/week using primarily a great routine i found in FLEX called "Power Trip" this was part of a year long series called "2002 a size oddyssey". I made tremendous gains on this program, but I know after my illness my body will need time befor I attemp this routine again. I am now at aprox 250 lbs w/ 30-35 bf. I lost the majority of this weight in 7 weeks due to illness. Does anybody know of a routine and diet for someone making a comeback to the gym after 6 mos, especially after your body takes such a drastic hit. I'm not sure if I should bulk or strip first.......All I know is i'm ready to HULK OUT again!

@30-35% bf I would suggest cutting up first.

I agree. Cut up first so you can atleast see the results of your training. Plus to bulk, your gonna have to eat anyway. If your leaner you wont have to worry about eating too much and can concentrate on gaining your size back.

Thanx for the direction guys, I've been lifting for so long without serious illness or injury that I've never been in this position befor. Some of the old teammates that I have talked to about this have had injuries, but nothing that has ever taken them completely out or hit them this hard. I appreciate the suggestions guys, much thanx again!

Welcome back to the game man...Just start moving your body...it'll all fall back into place

Definately cut. You're at a dangerous level of bodyfat. Lose fat while you still have your health.

Thanx again for the encouragement guys. I played for Greenbay......LOVED IT.....I also grew up there, nuthin better. I'm just excited to be back, I'm coaching semi-pro this season and hope to play again by next. You guys really know your stuff here!

If you don't mind my asking, what is menegirial neuropothy? How serious was it?

 

[gotmojo]

No prob Booey.....menengirial neuropothy is a conditon that results from having small cysts on the menengirial layer of the brain (the layer that keeps your brain from coming in contact w/ your skull), these cysts would get inflamed and affect vascular flow, chemical production, and nerve function in the brain itself. what happenned to me was an unexpected side effect from the meds I was taking, the meds were so strong that they started to shut down my liver and my toxin levels skyrocketed, the ER caught it in time befor it reached a fatal level but it still hit me hard non the less. The condition itself is not fatal and is treatable, I was actually born w/ the cyst, it just needed time to mature I guess. but all is well now.....WOO-HOO!
It was actually found after a CT scan was done due to chronic migraines. Hey by the way, does any one know of a solid cutting program???
