Today felt rather strange with out any rugby on prime for me to watch.Was going to watch the reply of the league world cup final until I noticed on the stuff website that the Kiwis got smashed instead watch the rest of Family guy season two on DVD instead.Was looking at the calander on my phone and thinking about when I have to start cutting for the Pans.Thinking of starting to diet down sometime in late May not to sure when but I am going leave that part to my trainer and see if that is a good option.Starting to kind of miss doing Sh'bam on a Monday which was one my fave classes when I was cutting something to look forward to when I have to start doing that again when it comes to that time which is a while down the road or when I start climbing the mountain to the 2014 Pans.Emailed two of my friends in the States today and told them that I have been training like a madman for the Pan's and plus coming close to feeling sick when leaving the gym plus all part of the fun when building towards next.Wrote the date for the Pans in my phone today which is August 9th NABBA/WFF Pan pacifc champs the cost of redemption opteration 100% pure twisted evile.Eats for today are

Hey Guys  I have got some bad news to share with you guys which is.When I was biking to the gym this morning and going through a intersection in my part of Dunedin a car going 20 to 30 kph knocked me off my bike went flying and landed on my left hip.People in my area came to help and checked to make sure I was ok.The police asked me diffrent questions like my age,date of birth etc.Got taken to A & E  in the amblance .Got checked out by the Dr's and nurse plus they were amazed at the size of my quads.Went for a x ray and no broken left hip thank god which was one of my worrys when it happend.I have got a massive hemotma on left hip which is about the size of a rugby ball.The only training that I will be doing is phyiso for two weeks plus no gym for two weeks boo and bugger.

Guess you will be needing a Zimmer frame.

Yeah that would be right got to use a wheelchair in A&E but did see a zimmer frame was tempted to ask to see I could use it

[AZIDE]

sucks, but could have been worse. lucky you didnt end up under a truck smeared down SH1

[Gym rat]

Thanks guys for your wishes while I am recovering from my hemotoma.Got my dad to take my bike down to cycle world to get my biked check out.My bike has a cracked frame bugger and shit.I was thinking yesterday during this time I will use any champion bodybuilder who has been injured including any past or present All Black as  a roll model.Got my wrestling DVD's to keep me busy during this time while I cant train so I wont get bored out my mind.Texed one of co workers today and told them sorry I cant come to the xmas work do and wont be coming in on Thursday for Secret Santa and figured it would be hard for me to walk up the stairs with crutches.Asked my trainer today what's the best way to go about eating during my recovery which is eating clean during this time and eating lots of fruit and veggies etc yum.Went around to one of my mums co workers house to have a shower which was a walk in shower plus it sure beat the hell out of having a sponge bath which would have taken a while for me to do since I am a big dude.

[Gym rat]

Hey guys I have got more bad news to tell you guys which is.Yesterday afternoon I got rang up by the poilice told me that I will be getting fined for failing to giveaway and the police were sorry to hear about the frame on my bike after I was done talking to the police on the phone.I thought bull shit and I was pissed off about that.When I got up this morning the laws in this country are shit house or they suck

Shit, sucks to hear that Gymrat! In any case I am thankful and hope you are too that you only got away with 2 weeks off of gym and a measly fine.. that's not to say that what happened doesn't suck but things could have been much worse bro.

[Gym rat]

Last night around half past seven last night started to get bad muscle spasms in the area where my massive hemtoma is.The pain lasted for a a couple of hours was fine.But when I got up this morning the area looked swollen  thought a trip to A&E would be a good idea.Didnt have to wait long in A&E which was good news.Got checked out by one of DR's and told told to lay off the Ibprofin. and have my bad leg up.Emailed the grandparents etc and told them  the latest news  since Friday one of uncles said that is just wrong by the police to do that when I am one that is suffrering and in pain.Cheers Michale Knight for posting that video by NWA.Not eating much in the way carbs while I am off from training just mostly having carbs with breakfast ,lunch and tea and protein which my trainer wants me to do including protein as well. including having simple carbs as well and drinking lots of water as well

Thanks bro for your wishes.I am also glad that I am ok and at the time I was wearing my bright yellow vest and hemlet thank god and the main is that I am alive and breathing.If I do see that person who knocked me off my bike they should be very scared of when I get back to full training or opening a 12 pack of whopp ass in the gym Gym Rat style

[Realtalk]

Hope your well ratty. Sorry to hear about ur wee accident I hope you recover quickly.

Good job to the police for fining you if you didn't give way. Cyclists are arseholes.

 

[Gym rat]

This morning woked up in a lot of pain and I was crying because of the pain was very painful.The pain felt like someone took a cricket bat and wacked it against my leg or it was like when WWE superstars fall through a table in a TLC match.Went to my Gp this morning to get some better pain killers so far it seems to being do the job.Asked my trainer about what is the best way to go back to training when I can go back to normal trainer and got told to do high reps  for the first two weeks before going back to normal training after two weeks.Thanks guys I am enjoiying seeing your well wishes to me while I am recovering from my accident
