12-2-08 Hospital Trip

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:48:29 +0000

Well…. Last night was a long night. I had to go to the ER because i puked up blood on the way to the gym. I’m glad it happened but at the same time im pissed. I’m glad it happened because i now know why i can’t eat worth a s***, my sleep is horrible and the rapid unexplained weight loss and crap training session for the past month. So after waiting 5hrs in the ER with no food or drink and 25 bucks later in prescriptions i should be better. They didn’t give me an exact diagnosis because they said they would have to look in my stomach to see where the bleeding is but they gave me prilosec to reduce the acid in my stomach and 2 types of anti biotics incase i have an ulcer because they said most of the time when you have an ulcer there is a certain bacteria present. I’ll keep everyone updated on my condition. Physically i am fine aside from a chest cold i got last week but thats going away. Hopefully i will be in good enough shape to do the paxton show in 2 weeks.

Tired and felt shitty but still trained. I’m not sure whats going on with my stomach but i have heatburn almost 24/7, sometimes i can eat other times i take a bite and im full or wanna puke. When i got back from training i puked up water and some of my protein shake and it looked like there was a TINY bit of blood in some of the shit i spit up, I hope i don’t have an ulcer or something serious. If it doesnt get better by another week im gonna call the doctor.

started with the lightweight class weight for a few reps then kept doing triples, worked my way up to the heavy weight weights and got a triple with my belt on.

Did legs today, surprisingly strong and im down to 207 when i weighed myself this morning so no idea how my strength is up but i’ll take it.

Squats -

225lbs x6
315lbs x5 rehband belt
405lbs x3 belt and wrist wraps very easy reps
500lbs x2 coulda got 3 but decided to take it easy today since my weight is down and sleep has been bad.

Leg Press -

4 plates x6
6 plates x6
8 plates x6
10 plates x6
woulda did more but this particular leg press was racked out so didn’t have the option.

Then i did some leg extension and curls and a little bit of calves. I had to train at another golds which was kinda funny because all the people who i am assuming are regulars were eyeing me the whole time probably because i was the only one using a respectable amount of weight.
