Montego Prep

[montego]

Was able to keep some food in yesterday. Not all of it but a little bit more then normal.

Today was upper loading but it sucked.

Worked late, had to get up early and only got about 4 hours of sleep. Even though I was able to keep more food in yesterday, my strength is way way down. I was also sweating like crazy.

Being so depleted for so long then actually having some carbs stick around sent my metabolism through the roof. Diarrhea came back after my session as well.

Flat Bb bench - 275*8, 275*6 2 drop sets to failure
Rack Pull - 495*10
DB row - 120*12 drop sets to failure
Rear delt cable fly - 40*15, 13, 12, 12
Triceps press down - stack*13, 11

Not a great day. Gonna see where we go from today until Wednesday.

Lower back is finally coming in. Starting to get that look. Your cleaning up well.

Thanks man.

This colitis flare up put me back about four weeks in my estimate where I should be at this point. Trying to push on but, I dunno if that's wise at this point.

Off training today.

Got up at 3 for fasted cardio then worked 12 hours. I'll be so fucking glad when it cools down.

All the fullness I had in my recent pic is gone. Diarrhea is still there but it seems to be a little better then a week ago.

I had some bloodwork pulled today to see how bad or good I'm actually doing.

About 4 weeks prior to colitis everything looked great so, I guess we'll see.

Way behind.

Lower back is as soft as a pillow still.

 

[montego]

Gotta remember to bring my hands down on the ab shot. Makes my lats dissappear.

Little update on where I'm at.

Weight drop has stopped. At this point my body has leveled out in terms of how often I'm having to use the bathroom every day. I'm still going 10+ times a day, I'm just not seeing weight fall off like it was.

This is and isn't a great thing. I'm glad I leveled out but, at this point I'm fighting off losing lean tissue pretty hard.

Swapping In the short esters, especially the tren, is helping but my performance in the gym is garbage. I've never been this drained while training even when I've been a week out of my previous shows.

I'm still waiting on bloods though.

The issues I mentioned before that I wasn't ready to dive into -
Passing out
General Light headedness a lot during the day
Whole body Inflammation and water retention

These are all very concerning. I mentioned I had passed out on leg day but this hasn't been the only time. Two other occasions I've blacked out but was able to steady myself on a bench.

Multiple times a day I'm getting light headed and seeing black spots even when I'm just sitting watching TV or something.

When I have my worst bouts with the colitis my gut, ankles, fingers and wrists balloon up. I've been able to get around it some with extra minerals but it'll still happen.

Everything there, besides the inflammation, points to being under fed. I've TRIED, oh how I've tried, to get very calorie dense foods in smaller portions but it's not doing the trick. I'm just passing everything too quickly to keep up with the training, cardio and everything else.

Blood pressure keeps reading good even during the spells at home.

Still waiting.....

What are you doing for cardio?
Do you still need it seeing you are passing so much of your food?

Cardio is still in there but it's just 30 minutes fasted walking 3 days a week in the am around the neighborhood.

I probably DON'T need it but, I'd rather be safe then sorry. It's also so low intensity and so infrequent it shouldn't be hurting me.

My thinking is, even though I'm in a big calorie deficit, it's still more then likely burning fat at that point in the day then any kind of muscle.

Arrived today.

Thanks for the suggestion and I'll let you know how it works!

Hey, these blackout sound bad man. I know what you would be telling me bro. Don't get lost in the moment. Of all people reading this believe me I understand the pain and dedication of a prep. I have never heard of blking out consistently under these conditions. Is it safe to drive Monte? Could you back out a bunch of sup to look for what could be causing this? Does Bkling out run hand and hand with having this ailment?

Can't wait to see how you make out- you've turned into a big part of this family here- want to see you do well. I don't wish for your pain on any one.
I got the primal defense from my dietitian-- he is a natural medicine doctor and really into it and body building

When I have the episodes sitting down its just a light headed feeling and maybe dots.

Only times I've gone black are during my training so it's relatively safe, but not lol.

The colitis is just not allowing me to uptake nutrients before I pass them so I'm just under fed. It's happened this bad before but it's been years.

Thanks brother.

I enjoy it here.

The knowledge base is excellent.

Not many forums I go to that I can learn something new regularly.

From this morning.

Need to go to the chiropractor and get my shoulder girdle adjusted. I'm not square in the pics so it makes it look worse.

 

[montego]

Yeah. Got all kinds of stares when I yelled "fuck! You fucking cock sucking mother fucker!" at the t bar row I had set up to do ground base Squats. The close grip handle I used slipped off the end of the bar and there you go.

Bloods in. Looks good besides alkaline phosphate which would correlate to the colitis and being "malnourished".
