lol thats gotta suck. my doc is cool. im actually feeling kinda better from a day rest. im thinking about hittin up the gym tonight and goin light

I dunno my parents are startin to freak me out. I mean they don't like tha fact of me lifting soo much weight they think if it goes over my bodyweight it's TOO MUCH. Well either way they're tryin to blame this cold on my powerlifting and if i didn't do it soo much to an extent that I would be in better shape.

To anyone who knows can this be true, they tried scaring me saying that if I pulled a hernia(spelling???) it can give me a horrible cold and high fever and me not know it happened?????? Now please don't flame the person for this I know they're just trying to do it for my own health but I love this sport. Either way does this have some truth behind it???? I've never pulled a hernia so I don't know what it feels like and I can tell you my symptons as of now are REALLY STUFFY nose, ears are all plugged up, nose is watery, stomache hurts a lil on the waist line left side and constantly caughing and when i caugh it hurts my whole abdominal area.

im lucky, my mom fully supports me doing it.. she even spotted me tonight cause i couldnt make it to the gym. so i worked out with my dreaded home weights.

i think if you pulled a hernia you would know it. Im not sure about the high fever and bad cold. Im sure your parents dont mean to discourage you, they just arent sure about everything. Show them an article or two on how powerlifting and weight lifting is great for the body because it gives you better nueral efficiency, elevates your metabolism, makes you feel good about yourself... IS SAFE as long as you arent careless...etc

good luck trying to convince them

See here's the thing with my parents my mom says no matter what I do she'll support me, but the fact that she doesn't like me doing it NO she hates me lifting. And my dad just doesn't really support me for doing it just says it's ur choice in life of what you wanna do. They refuse to read articles with as much as me and my brother talk about it ALL the time. It's really the only thing that has brought us together. Ever since I turned him from a fat 200lb 14 year old with like 20%BF into a lean 170lb 15 year old now with 12%BF and is worrying about getting stronger in his own lil way it's all good. Although one thing that pissed me off today was when he said he wanted to get CUT over spring break it broke my heart that my own lil bro wants to look good in a bathing suit rather than lift a house.

 

[Deciever]

lol, your little brother wants to look cut, and not lift a house... you can both!.. im naturally thin, so im year round thin, six pack showing all the time... its the typical 15 year old.. they just want to look good and get the girls (who doesnt)..

i dont know what you could do about your parents... as long as they allow you to do it than i guess it is okay and wont effect you too much as long as they dont prohibit you from doing anything, and taking a good supplement (i.e protein and creatine..etc).

Also, good job on changing your brothers physique..

 

[Cubanito17]

Hey thanks well i guess that's good bout my parents and thanks for the compliments on changing my bro. And man I can't remember if at 14 or 15 I had a six pack. Actually....no I was far from it at 14 I weighed more than I do now, at 14 and 15 I was the fat one of the family at 185. And my parents don't like me takin any of that stuff either. My dad thinks if it's not food it's cheating. So the only supplement I take is protein shakes(my nice lil homemade weight gainer).

HEY GRIMM did you ever try that shake?????

 

[Deciever]

i dont even take any supplements, only a multi. I dont really need anything, cause i just eat a lot of tuna, and im growing naturally, so i'll put on weight and gain strength no problem

 

[Cubanito17]

UUGHHHH I HATE TUNA. Damn bro i know it's good protein and to whomever can eat this stuff that takes ALOT OF STRENGTH. I can't even stay around someone when they eat it just the smell makes me wanna puke. Give me a good ol plain burger and fries or a good weight gainer shake(the cubanito shake).

 

[Deciever]

i love tuna.. used to have 2 cans a day....
whats in your weightgainer shake? if it sounds good, maybe i'll try it

 

[Cubanito17]

OK I told GRIMM to try it but I dunno if he's had it yet. I take one a day it's really good. I take 2 cups of skim milk(i like it better than whole milk) then I put in 2 scoops of american whey vanilla protein shake or you can use any type of vanilla protein shake you find good( i like isopure and american whey myself) then I put in 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream then I throw in a snickers bar I break it into three pieces then in the blender of course blend it together for 30 seconds or until you see everything is mixed. It's about a good 915 calories with 70g of protein 26g of fat and I think around 100g carbs. Now lately i've been taking if I can two of these a day since I'm sick but when I get better I'll take one at night and that's it.
