yeah, i just need a job, and once i get it, its only a matter of time until im king of the world. My whole field seems difficult to get in, and ive especially take a fairly non-traditional route, and my relationship situation doesn't allow me to be open to every possibilitiy (ie: i need a job in an area close to my girlfriends family, and I guess my family too would be nice) otherwise I would be in AZ, FL, or somewhere right now prolly, not cruddy filthadelphia


anyways, on a side note, today, i feel like no matter what/how much I've eaten, I've constantly had the fruity breath thing of ketosis going on, which sucks, cos I really have been attempting to up my carb intake!!! like I Jus tbanged out a massive bean/pepper/brown rice burrito 10mins ago, and I am starving with fruity breath already. I'm thinking the 2:30hr madness workouts I put in M/W/F are catfching up with me - I've even consider a recovery/deload week, but I'm pretty sure that I can't workout without going all out with the intensity unless I am sick or something


I'll post todays craziness later sometime when I feeel like typing more, for now, I am going to go stick out my hammies and everywhere else I'm sore/tight

"I've constantly had the fruity breath thing of ketosis"- Do you have diabetes, hypoglycemia, or hyperglycemia?

[jiritt0]

Nah, no thtat i know of, i just burn a ton of carbohydrates through an insane energy expenditure.. and don't eat a heavy carb diet typically

I've never really been tested for diabetes/anything recently, though I really wanna get a blood profile done ...i should really step my game up and call my doc about that


back in the day I had hyper/hypo/hype something thyroidism.. i got a lot of tests done in a matter of a few months, than would get yearly scans done on the thyroid, but havent had that done in a couple years either -- I think when I quit smoking and drinking heavily and eating horrible campus cafe food it went away

Ya you made want to check that out bro. Not a huge concern but it would be nice to know. Since you are a person who eats regularly and healthly then it may not be noticeable but a symptom is fruity breath. But that may be coincidence. Not a hug deal. Now here is a question that you may know. I was talking to a paramedic and he believes that creatine can cause high blood pressure. Have you ever heard anything about that? I never read it in any medical book or on any website.

he's right, as creatine basically pumps excess water into your muscles (creating the larger, fuller look) which in turn pushes your veins into a smaller area... i think that could be why, or im completely off, either way it sounds logical


I'm pretty sure the fruit breath is from ketosis, (ketosis is a state of the organism characterised by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood, occurring when the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies (which can be used for energy as an alternative to glucose)) which doesn't necessarily link to diabetes though diabetics are often at risk of it due to their lack of insulin production - which can turn very serious/fatal for them


it prolly has something to do with the fast acting carbs in golden gains/purple intrain and the fact that outside of those I almost always only eat complex carbs low in GI (usually)

[jiritt0]

applying for a new job at American University in DC... feelin good about this one, mabe for once i won't get very ticked off when I never hear back *(aka I'll hear back)*


yesterdays workout was supposded to be easy..like a recovery/deload ... than somehow i m deadlifting 300pds and destroyed my back/hips.... 3-4hours later I could hardly stand up straight my core was that bad..

details:

front balance snatches (jerks) - 3xbar,95,115,125,135,145,155,165,175,135,bar
super setted with 2 reps of high knee run outs -- looped 3 purple bands together around a poll waist height -- put at top of hips, and ran out w/ high knee drive and no hyperextension of back til tension became very strong -- a form exercise not a strength (though I think it caused a ton of soreness in hips!)

10 TKE's a leg + 10 med ball chest throws (10lb)

single leg depth reactive jumps - jump from a box about ankle height (1foot?) landing and instantly rejumping (minimal ground contact time) to a box about knee height (2foot?) -- 4 reps each leg , 5 sets *extremely difficult..not even fun*

-- used 45 seconds rest between deadlifts, military, and lunge/chinup supersets
the military presses were murdering my shoulders/arm.. i felt it bad..

and for some reason, though it was pretty intense, i didnt feel much of a sweat or elevation in heart rate -- i think i've officially conqured overtraining
