Sheiko strikes again

[ickyrica]

I'm stoked for you dude! I probably said this before, but tearing my bicep is one of my biggest fears... that and this happening

hahaha love it.

"It's spinal" fucking classic.

Yeah man, you've said that before. Neck and back injuries scare the fuck out of me. So does Tyson.

Honestly, the bicep wasn't that bad. The HO growth was more painful. I'll never get over how crazy complex the human body is and the shit it can do.

Watching Tyson videos on youtube is one of my favorite things to do when im bored. Dude is just an absolute viscous animal in all regards.

Yeah, a back injury is my biggest fear. Seeing my father go through Multiple disc fusions and back surgeries/corrections does help with that at all.

How did he make out? Sounds like a miserable time.

In the end, not well. He has a multitude of other health problems also. But it's hard for him to walk. He needs a cane. I think he had his first back surgery like 15+ years ago. Along with knee surgery. Just didn't take care of himself like he should have afterwards to be blunt.

It's actually really sad and depressing to watch for me. And for himself. To not be able to do a fraction of what he was able to a few short years ago.

Again to be blunt, and it saddens me to type this out. I'd be thrilled to see him live to be 75. He just turned 64 a couple weeks ago. His father died at 72 years old from a 2nd heart attack. My dad had a minor heart attack over the summer. And that was less than a year after his latest back surgery(which was just corrections of fusions that didn't take).

He just needs to take better care of himself. His eating choices and lack of exercise are terrible. I was over his and my step moms house a couple weeks after his back surgery and they had all kinds of shitty food laying out. Chocolate cake. Giant muffins with all kinds of garbage on them. I lost it and threw everything out and yelled at both of them. He is also diabetic.

I really kind of dumped in your thread lol. My bad.

No worries man. It's not bad talking about stuff. Your father sounds very much like my step father. We have all been watching this man spiral down into his own physical and mental hell. And like you said, to be blunt, it's almost 100% his fault and he will not change. It's sad and motivating all at once.

I hope he finds a way to increase his quality of life man. it's a personal choice and all we can do is watch for the most part.

I have a diabetic brother that will most likely never make it out of his 40s because of his failures with personal choices.

Sucks to read the words we type sometimes but it's necessary to a point I think it helps me understanding the situation and how to move forward.

I haven’t been up your way for a while bc of a 7day a week work schedule. My bday is coming up and I’m deciding between going down to Jersey for the best BBQ in the area and then back to the city for Lebanese food dinner..... orrrrr going up your way for Annas Taqueria and then maybe legal seafood for dinner. My bdays are planned around food and weed....

I like being gay so I’ll take you up on that. I also want to ride the T in slim fit male capris....

You'll fit right in if we go to Cambridge. The city has a prerequisite that you have to be at least 20% gay to enter. Male capris could very well get you a key to the city for a day.

Sounds like training is starting to go very well for you!! Are you using hook grip once double overhand starts to fail?
