12wk Shred-a-thon

Good news. Staff infection not a clot. Pumped about that.


Also got a bod pod test done and was kind of floored. It said I was 10.7% bodyfat.....so I'm at a loss of words.

i think people generally tend to underestemate their bodyfat levels... you have very little bodyfat on you, that is for sure... but not an overwhelmingly large ammount of muscle, not saying in disrespect, as you have worked damn hard at this... and i am no beast myself...
this makes me want to get tested myself, because i pinned myself at about 6-7% as of this week... not sure if i want to know the truth now...
dont let this discourage you, eat more and grow bigger and with more size your ratio of fat to muscle will change... this is a never ending race for all of us trying to achieve bodybuilding goals... same goes for powerlifting, there is always weight that can be added to the bar...

Idk about that, somethings not adding up.....I jus had my bf% tested on wed. And I was at 11.1% and by looks of ur last set of pics u look much leaner than I am...unless Uve gained weight since uve cut back on training from the infection I don't see how that could be right

Wow, good to hear it was the staph.

10.7% is awesome man! Most people think they're at 10% when they are really at 13-14%. It's a lot harder than people think to get that low and maintain it.

I had a full blown 6 pack and I know I was still over 12%. People carry fat in different ways.

 

[RickO'Shea]

It said 10.7 but the doc was like it's precise within an a percent so you could be 9.7 or 11.7....either way it is what it is.

Last night was the first time I actually got to lift. The meds have made me very sick. I did a session of cardio last week and it went ok, but like two hours after I got done I got really nauseous.

Did 30 min of Cardio and then hit up back

And the Asylum is BACK!!!
So glad that was not a clot bro. But not too happy about the staph infection....do they have any idea of the cause bro?
KTS my man and good luck bro!

 

[RickO'Shea]

Yeah they said it developed from a hematoma. Apparently I got a really bad internal bruise where some tissue actually died, and for some reason of my body did not do the normal thing and get rid of it, so the dead tissue got infected....I guess...that's what the doc said. Thanks as always Zed! You're the man!

 

[Peterlumberjack]

when during this recovery, how did you change your supplementation? Glad ur pushing through this.

 

[RickO'Shea]

Hey Pete, didn't really change much. Just TRIED to to stick close to the diet. I did lay off the fat burners though.

Thanks man.

 

[zedhed]

So bro do you have any idea what caused the internal bruise? Was it from some kind of contact trauma or what?
Just dam glad that you are back to being the Master of the Asylum bro.
Good luck to you!

 

[RickO'Shea]

The only thing I can think of were the Heavy Hang Cleans. Thanks Bro!
