Doc said symptoms and treatments are very similar, but it should actually heal quicker and with less complications than a tear. I have no idea what red or white zone is, but the doc said maintaining / improving blood flow and circulation would be really beneficial, so probably red? I wanted to try cycling anyway, thanks! Red zone is basically the vascularized portion of the meniscus... typically more on the outside of the half moon portions. White zone is the non-vascularized part closer to the actual joint articulations. That's good though.. no tear and if it's crushed/squeezed then very light activity should help. | ||

Although now I run the numbers it'd take a year and a half to eat an entire cow by myself at that rate which seems a long time. Once the bananas are ripe I'll start having two a day which will be another 200 calories. Well 1500 kcal is still a very small number | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Can't back squat, deadlift, or Bent-Over row because of my hip (still. It's been 5 months, and it's maybe 30% better). Can't Front Squat or Leg-Press because of what I am now being told by my doctor is probably a small Hernia (the "burning/stabbing" sensation I've been getting along the crease of my hip for the last three years. It's recently gotten much worse, and pains me for days afterwards instead of just minutes like it used to). Can't clean & jerk, snatch, or OHP because of both of these things. Can't do seated OHP because I have literally passed out attempting to lift anything over 100 lbs doing that lift. Can't swim because of the hip. Can't run because of old knee problems. Can't play rugby because of the hip, to a much lesser extent the knee, and because I'm graduating and not good enough to make a men's team. I can still bench, do chinups, body-builder type isolations, row, and... well, that's about it. I can't afford to see anyone for the hip, and I doubt that will change (it will probably get worse) in the next 3-5 years. I don't even know anything about the other problem, so I have no idea how to begin fixing that. I'm just so pissed... lifting is probably the thing that I most look forward to about any ordinary day. Lifting. nutrition, and general fitness are the things that I most enjoy researching, talking about, or thinking about in my free time. It's the most positive change that I have made to my life in the last five years, and it feels like it's completely impossible for me to do. I alternately want to scream/break/throw things, and then drink/pass out/never leave my room again. It's an absolutely terrible feeling. Complete pity-party of a post here, ruins the atmosphere of the thread (so I spoilered it), and I know anyone who reads it is just going to tell me to man the fuck up, but I had to put it somewhere, and this seemed like the only place it could go. I'm sure I'll figure it all out and feel better eventually, but for now I'm just angry. | ||

Still, try to focus on the things you can do and improve them. Being pragmatic about stuff is one of the most useful skills to have (I should know, I didn't have it all my life, and it takes a fuckton of energy to 'learn' that). Bench Press, Chin/Pull Ups, Dips are all worthwhile time investments. Maybe some Dumbbell Overhead Presses, Seated Cable Rows aren't half bad as a substitute for Barbell rowing, and then just give those biceps' of yours some love with some Curls. In the long run, when you can hopefully Squat and Deadlift again, these things will have some carry-over (i.e. Upper Back for Front Squats, and everything for Deadlifts). Good luck mate! | ||

Coacing someone is an amazing thing if there's results to observe. Too bad that in fitness you need a shitton of expertise to actually coach somoene effectively. Anyway, I hope you get better, Phyre. | ||

However I stopped again last year anyway because it's really not much fun at all if I can't practice at least 2 times a week. Also the boxing club membership was too expensive for the little time I had for it due to traveling. Nah the worst part about the injury is that I am skiing addict. I basically survive all year just so I can finally go skiing in the winter, and now it's January and I am looking at a 3 month injury. Fucking depressing. Already canceled two more planned skiing trips TT. I have spent thousands this season already in equipment and canceled trips, all for nothing Oh sugar are you kidding me. Well all I can say is that I offer my sympathies...and hope that you save up anything you haven't spent and then spend it on a TWICE as long a ski holiday next time. Stay strong bro... On January 15 2013 21:29 KwarK wrote: Currently on a low carb diet. I previously subsisted on pasta with meat, veg, sauce etc in fairly vast portions. In the last week I've basically just cut the pasta out. As of yesterday I also stopped carrying my wallet so I couldn't buy snacks and I regretted it really badly. I made sure I had a bottle of squash in my bag so I could drink whenever I got really peckish but I got really irritable and pissed at the world by the end of the day so maybe there was some blood sugar thing going on. Equally, yesterday was pretty shit so maybe that was it. I bought some bananas today to take to work as a snack over the next few days but I need to wait for them to get ripe first. Daily intake from my meals at the moment is roughly 1338 cal 120.6 protein 93.5 carb of which 30.2 sugar 51.6 fat of which 18 saturated 11.3 fibre 1.95 sodium which is what I ate yesterday Today I went shopping and picked up a bag of sweets (1200 calories in the bag apparently) while there which I'll try and spread over the next few days. Think that might be my leak. Leaving my wallet behind again today though so even if I eat 600 cals of sweets today I'm still under 2k. Yeah that's too low (btw impressive self control, at 1.3k calories I am tearing my hair out). When I say I recommend under 3k I also recommend 2k minimum! If you undereat it can be as bad as overeating for a few reasons. Also, when I did a food diary I found my mood pretty accurately correlated with my fruit and veg intake. If you try to hit 3 minimum, 5 as a goal...it does wonders in my experience. Go to Lidl for fruit if you can, best supermarket value and the fresh stuff is pretty good. The more you can stay away from sweets the better but psychologically you have to have some perks in your diet...a lot of bodybuilders or gym regulars have 'cheat days' where you eat well for 6 days, then eat like a fucking pig for 1. No holds barred 4k calories all you can eat buffet pro-gorging. For myself every day is a cheat day huehuehue. Also if you are ever stuck at work then go to Sainsburys and get one of their bags of cooked chicken. Pretty good value and so much better than going to Greggs. | ||
