Muscle @ MindSay

OMG this guy's chest is just amazing.  You have to see it.  His chest is so smooth and ripped.

BLAHH! Thats how I feel. How long does one have to have pain for in order for it to be considered chronic.....cause it feels pretty damn chronic to me. Now the pain has moved into my other leg (it used to be only in the left)....now it takes turns and sometimes I feel it in both legs simultaneously. Occasionally it feels as if my leg muscles are all taking turns spasming....THIS SUCKS!!!! Im not really sure what to do anymore and I spend most of my sleeping time tossing and turning and crying. I am going to give accupuncture another week or so to do something and if not I think Im going to go see a neurologist. I really hope its nothing serious but the pain has progressed for the worse despite physical therapy, accupuncture, and a normal MRI of the hip and lower spine. GRRR!!! I wish I was healthy. I miss health. I was trying to stay positive about all this at first but im a worrier by nature and my mind is getting the best of me...the pain is effecting all aspects of my daily life, I cannot enjoy sleep, I cannot enjoy excercise, I cannot enjoy social activities....and Im becoming depressed. I really dont know what to do.

 

Other than my pain issue. There is not much going on. The new guy is still around but Im not so sure he is that interested. He doesn't make time for me. He is dealing with some personal issues and so  I guess forming a new relationship is not at the top of his list. I guess with my issues that Im dealing with, its not at the top of mine either.....but I like him so I was willing to make the effort. Only time will tell.

 

I hope it is warm this weekend. It will be something to look forward to

this new training plan i'm using is tilted away from aerobic a little and towards strength-endurance. one of the neat side-effects is that it's the rowing, not the lifting, that seems to be responsible for adding strength. the lifting i've been doing is very generic, and exists mostly to avoid injury and keep my push-pull balance.

i really noticed it in the shower today. my antagonist muscle structure is the same as it's been for the last few years, but the agonists are noticably more defined. well, noticeable in the shower because clothing tends to cover up things like triceps and upper quads.

this is neat.

I slept wrong yesterday. I slept on my shoulder. And somehow my shoulder got stuck. And now I suffer from pain in my shoulder. It's not a good feeling. Really..it hurts badly. It hurts to carry my backpack. When I try to look over my shoulder it hurts. And ofcourse cause I made a lot of homework on my laptop today my other shoulder hurts too. X_x. It's really annoying. Cause you feel it in your entire arm. Still I am able to typ this, just to put my toughts on something else then the pain. Altough it's really hard to ignore the pain. Another reason why I am doing this is too put my mind on something else then the homework. It's still a lot and it needs to be finished at Wensday at 13.15. So it's still a long time and I can make more tomorrow morning, at school and also again at home. So I have no fair of not being ready on time. I think I will make it. From the biggest assigment I only need to make 3 things. The problem only is, at a certain moment you are at busy with homework that you go crazy. I am now busy since 19.30...it just stopped at 21.45. Mainly because my toughts went totally black and then I go and type nonsense. Well, it's not for a point or so. But my teacher decidces on that if I can stay. So it's kinda important. Altough I probarly can stay cause I have around 8 points and you have to have at least 7 so that's good enough. Do you know, while I was typing this I didn't feel my shoulder. Ofcourse typing about it makes me realize it's still there. Ouch!! X_X. I hope it's over tomorrow. I need to ask someone to put some tiger balsam on it. I don't know if you know it. But it's something to losen to muscles. It burns terribly, but it works perfectly. If you ever have problems with your muscles and you happen to be in the Netherlands ask for it if you don't know it. It's really helpfull with these problems.But now I got to stop or else I ruin my shoulder even futher. Hope it's just over tomorrow.

As the semester comes to a close, my mind races with visions of pain and suffering rivaling that of  labor and child birth. Yes, hell week looms on the horizon. I don't think I have done hell week justice in this record. Let me reiterate (I'm not sure what reiterate means, I just think it's a cool word)

 

Hell week is very much like what it sounds. A week of hell. Not only is their going to be pain and suffering worthy of the title, but it will be volentary, as is the steady road to perdition. For an entire week during the summer, I, Swiffer, Kyo, Scoot, and a camera will be traveling up Dry Canyon in north Orem, and camping on the saddle of baldy. We will make camp, then bring a single weapon out to the summit to train with in the wilderness. We will train until we exhaust ourselves, then head back to camp to rest our bodies.

 

We awaken early the next morning. The shadow of the Cascade Mountains will clear over our heads, and we will brake camp. We will hike down Battle Creek canyon, until we hit a road, which will take us six miles over to Timpanookee in American Fork, where we will camp again. After dinner, we will train until our bodies can no longer take the strain.

 

The morning of the third day, we will hike about three miles up from Timpanookee to Timpanogos Basin near the summit of the mountain. That day, we will likely spend the whole day training, because there will be so little hiking. We will physically exhaust our bodies to the maximum ability possible, while we Tei-kin the beauties of nature. If you got that joke you're either korean or a bigger nerd about martial arts then I am.

 

The next morning we will leave our packs at the trail junctions and summit Mount Timpanogos. From the summit you can see everything from Salt Lake City, to my house in north Orem, all the way down to the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. We will sign our names in the log book, make a donation to whatever cancer thing is up there this summer, and climb back down to our stuff. We will camp that night just over in the next basin near Emerald Lake. That will likely be a strenuous training day as well, because there will be very little hiking.

 

The next few days are debatable. At some point we will have to make the strenous hike from Emerald Lake all the way down to the parking lot above sundance. We may do that on Friday, or (more likely), we will train all day at emerald lake with no hiking whatsoever, then hike down on Saturday. Look out world, the boys are back in town!
