Wheres Jono?

[keats]

In case your wondering where Jono is I heard from him today and he has been rushed to hospital with heart problems. He was at his girlfriends having bad heart palpatations and she called 111 for him. He is going for scans tomorrow.. Hope he gets better soon and we all hear from him again soon..

shit that sucks, hope its not from the 35kgs he put on this year

[Ash]

Damn, I thought he was sorted. I hope he's OK.

Thanks for posting this Keats - if you chat to him, wish him all the best.

[keats]

I will do guys, cheers

[BigBob]

That bites! Hope he is ok! Keep us updated...

We'll have to all chuck in a couple of BB mags for him.

[deegee]

I thought he was in the clear too, hope he finds out what is going on and gets it sorted. I certainly miss his journal updates.

[pimp]

probably from the gains...i tried to tell him to get that bodyfat down...oh well 8)

[bleat]

Shit dude, all the best.

Not a good look for conventional bodybuilding training if this kind of thing is prone to happen. Perhaps "lean bulking" is the way to go.

pure speculation, We dont know any previous medical history. I know many people who have put on a lot of weight and not had heart problems.

Hopefuly we will see jono back on here soon and he can tell us what the problem is and weather or not it is related to his bodybuilding.

Interesting this. From a family experience, something called Atrial fibulation (heart palpitations) can be a very de-bilitating experience. Most likely a heriditary condition.

Good luck Jono, hope it's all good, and that you are pumping iron(as well as blood) in the not too distant future.

As other posters have said, have a speedy recovery Jono. Hope you're ok and best of luck with it.

Heh... nicely said! I'll second that.

[Wynton]

All the best dude. Get well soon.

[keats]

Heard again from Jono, hes on meds now and he had his scan today. It came back ok, there was no major defects and he just has a heart murmer. With luck he'll be back into squats in no time.

[deegee]

Has he been told how this could affect training? will everything be back to normal in time, I have heard of heart murmors that cause problems for physical excersise and others that dont. look forward to seeing jono back on here and posting

[tallulahangie]

Scary stuff!

Get well soon Jono! :)

Gaining a ridiculous amount of weight isn't the way to go about it at all. I put 40 kg on in 5 months (from 82 to over 120 kg, with my bf going up to 33%) once when I was around 17/18 because 1) I was sick of being lanky and 2) I thought you had to have some size to be able to turn it into muscle. It wasn't the way to go about it at all, but I learnt eventually. It was a good learning experience I guess, and I was able to burn alot of the fat in fairly quick time, I burnt off 20 kg in about 6 months after that and gained muscle mass so the fat loss would've been even more.

I hope Jono recovers asap. I'm sure that log isn't anywhere near complete!

[jono]

hey guys hows things.

i got out of hospital late last night.

yes i have Atrial fibulation (AF), and a hear mermer.

im on meds right now, and have a lot more treatment to go.

this is probably the end of weight training for me guys. :cry:

the end of an era for me huh.

at this time its unknown what the exact cause was/is. i had a heart mermer when i was a baby so it could be the same thing again.

all ill be doing from now on is some cardio, at this stage anyway.

thanks for all your support.

[lazyone]

Hi Jono, glad to hear you're OK

With regards to training... thats a bummer, but your health is the most important thing here, so take it easy. Who knows, you may respond well to the treatment and be able to start looking at some light lifting in a while :grin:

Stay positive though... you'll pull through this no worries

[deegee]

Good to hear you are out of hospital, very sad about the training though, maybe with time things will improve

[waldo]

Hey jono,

My mother as recently been diagnosed with AF, and they have put her on a course of drugs to control it. They won't operate on her cos' she's too old appanrently. I do know a couple of people who have been operated on and have contuinued to train, this includes Justin Collins, the Highlanders Flanker. He had an extreme case, his heart rate would get up to 270 bpm! He is back playing, so you've got hope!

[Ash]

Good to hear you're out and about jono.

Try stay positive mate.
