Cycle 4 #kickcancerinthedick reps/sets

Day 19 of Radiation, weight is slowly dropping, having the shit's daily will do that to you. The reason that my treatment regimen is 45 days is that they're treating the lymph nodes as well as the prostate. Though there wasn't any lymph node involvement detected with the scans taken, they want to be conservative and hit any potential "problems". Who am I to disagree?!?


Paused Deficit Deads, slow eccentric - 130kg 4*5
Hip Thrusts - 90kg 10*4
Press - 52.5kg 3*3
Spoto Larsen Bench - 72.5kg 5*5

Honest work #anyrepsaregoodreps

So, it being that we're in NYS, we're closed for business as of 8:00pm tonight. SMDH...we're a small, private gym. At best we can handle 20 athletes at one time...AT BEST.
A majority of our athletes are in heathcare: nurses, DO's, Dr's...we're all adults and we know how to adhere to proper procedures. Yet the list of those closed and the those who are open to conduct business MAKES NO SENSE.

The authorities are handling this as if the Black Death is about to overwhelm us. It's a fucking cold virus, that while new and it attacks a particular demographic, it's still a COLD VIRUS.

God knows, I'm in an "at risk" demographic, but I'm not running around with my hair on fire, worried that the people around me are disease vectors. I limit where I go, I limit who I'm around...and the people who frequent the places I go are ADULTS who practice the same habits. We're giving up some basic rights without giving a thought to why and for what reasons.

#end rant

Hopefully I can find a friend with a home gym in the meantime.

Radiation Day 28...17 to go

Push Ups:
incline 15*3
neutral 15*3
decline 15*3

Planks 45 sec *5

2 1/2 mile walk

Intestinal issues are KILLING ME...
I've gotten in about three home training sessions, all body weight work basically.
Motivation is really hard to come by right now. The weather isn't helping things either. Still, we persevere...

[slowmotion]

Hang in there, you can do this. Just keep at it.

Radiation Day 31, developing some bleeding...too much diarrhea. It was always a possibility.

Anyway, here's some training:

Squats 20*5
Step Ups 15*5
Calf Raises 20*5
Planks 45 seconds *5

Love to go for a walk, but intestinal issues scotched that idea.

[Wilhelm]

Very admirable you got work done.

Ticking those days off till you're done.
Sorry you're having side effects.
Hopefully they will trail off and not worsen.

What can i say?
Hang in there.

[gymdad150]

@Wilhelm I'm getting my second wind, I got this!

#kickcancerinthedick reps/sets

Radiation day 33 of 45, off in the distance I can see the finish line

Push Up Circuit:
Incline 20*4
Neutral 15*4
Decline 10*4

And that was plenty on 3 minute rest periods

I'm paying for those calf raises the other day...OWWW

4/7/20

34th day of radiation, 11 to go...

#kickcancerinthedick reps/sets

Squat Jumps - 5*10
Step Ups - 15*7
Calf Raises - 25*5
Squats - 20*5

Short rest periods

Got in a two mile walk yesterday. Due to the intestinal issues, I can't be too far from a bathroom. A mile out, and a mile back is the limit before it's butt clenching time.

Blew a blood vessel in the bottom of my foot on Saturday, it was so painful I thought I was experiencing a Gout attack. Fortunately the issue resolved itself as quickly as it came on, and by Monday I was able to actually walk.

I did not need to add a Gout attack to the rest of the bullshit I'm dealing with...bullet dodged.

#kickcancerinthedick reps/sets

Only 9 more days of radiation treatments

Planks 45 sec *6
Plyo Push Ups 3*10
Paused Push Ups 5*10
Coffee Table Curls 30 sec *5

It took a couple of warm up attempts before I could get enough "pop" on the Plyo Push Ups so I could clap my hands without falling on my face...[[[facepalm]]]

My sister-in-law just finished her radiation today. 6 weeks. You will be done soon.

[gymdad150]

I'm in a little mental slump here.

Hope to have dug out of it by this afternoon.

3 radiation sessions to go.

[slowmotion]

Hang in there. Only 3 more to go.

[JimRiley]

This is the most inspiring training log ever. Keep on kicking that thing in the dick, ass, wherever!

Well today's the first time I've been able to walk without suffering intestinal issues halfway through the walk.

Hopefully my long nightmare is coming to a close, at least this chapter.

I feel like I''m eight y/o, and it's Christmas Eve. Tomorrow at 11:30 can't come soon enough!
