I believe it is possible if all the nutrients is taken with in the proper time and keep the most blood as possible in the muscule being exercised that is makes them grow as well in my opinion. I work out and keep the most tension possible in the muscule and squeeze the shit out of them. I don't go real heavy anymore because I'm not young I lift smarter now day's. Best of luck bro.
Very doable. Reps till you get to mega burn, then a few more reps. My bro did good after injury training like that. needed a bit more recovery due to soreness but very doable
Trump4PrezIm going to have to read up on nitrogen balance. Thanks again
U bet bro
Trump4PrezDo you guys think juicing could help speed recovery due to the high absorbtion of quality raw vitamins and nutrients?
You need to be in a positive nitrogen balance.
Trump4PrezAll you guys kick ass. Thanks for everything
Ur gonna get thru this....stay the course, brother...
Jesus brother! That is a brutal looking injury. I believe from my experience you can grow using light or heavy weight. The bottom line is if you are lifting "said" amount of weight with pure focus and acute intensity, slow during the eccentric portion and exploding up, you will grow...period. Im not so sure how aggressive you can actually lift at the moment but in my eyes...any lifting is better than no lifting. Sometimes you just have to put questions and worry aside on what to do and let your body dictate how the session goes. Keep the environment for muscle gain optimum, nutrition, good sleep. Get in there and lift. I've had to use the rubber grip purple db's before but it played a part in the conditioning of the mind and keeping the ultimate love of lifting at the forefront. Lifting will get your mental state firing off feeling better which coincides with a healthy healing environment for the body. One day at a time...one lift at a time!
Superb advice with a dash of raw motivation thrown in for good measure.
I gotta say i love reading your comments bro, i can feeeeel the passion...... another +3
AnonDitto!!
Knuckles brother MONSTAR!
That's how we do it! Knuckles brother!
Bolt has an awesome flare for writing...brings me in and makes a difference in perception..
This is what i get from Bolt.
Bolt is all about the real things that Bodybuilding and weight training stem from!... Bolt possess,s gut raw passion and love for all things hard graft related... Bolt,s persona exudes motivation and gets guys adrenalin flowing to go attack the gym like a man possessed.
Bolt.. i bet is like me and wouldnt care fkn less if ALL the Steroids and ALL the supplements on the planet were buried under the sea bed!.. he would still train like a wild animal hunting a meal.... and i bet he would accept ALL that and still have a smile on his face
I may be wrong!.. but i doubt it.. in fact i am 99.99% positive and ive never met the guy.
To a tee brother! Lifting is at the forefront every single moment of every single day! I've managed to learn how to see through the constant assault, so as to be a functioning spouse...employee etc..., mentally nit picking the days lifting session. Analyzing lifts like I haven't already performed them a million and one times! Going over tomorrows meals for the day after that's lifting session. Constantly planning constantly envisioning.
The motivation,....I have no clue where the motivation comes from...in 16+ years I have never once not anticipated a day of lifting nor have I missed an on day. Ever! I am physically unable to. I feel un- whole outside the weights. I am at peace and whole while under the weights. I have a set hour and a half no matter what to lift...if there is no reason to be finished in that time I go untill I literally hurt...not pain...like while lifting...but hurting...and Ill already be thinking about doing it again the next day.
. People in my life have come to terms sharing me with lifting. I'm lucky enough to have a woman that supports it. They might not understand and that's ok because I dont truly understand why just the thought of working out dilates my pupils and gets me from 0-100 in a split second. It just happens...it just is.
. Brother you are right...take everything away, drugs, fkn the worlds eyesight, even food. If I'm breathing I'm lifting! Its my means to an end. Every action during a day is me working through it to get to the weights! And anyone else who shares the same passion is already a brother to me...PERIOD! Knuckles brother!
Haha............. Question answered............ Bolt style!!
Your passion alone has made my eroids comeback well worthwhile
AnonI have noticed
yeah hes alright
Knuckles brother Med!
Trump4PrezGreat advice bolt. I was thinking about doing cardio until i can lift at least 20 lbs. This will allow me to shed the 20 i gained being layed up
Most definitely brother! That's staying the course, being active, on track allowing yourself to stay focused on the ultimate goal! Give it time, your body will communicate its state. You'll be under the weight again, before you know it...WHAM! Hittin on all cylinders!
Trump4PrezThanks for the support Bolt
TronTrump, this us a little write up I did a while back. Maybe can help you understand muscle hypertrophy..fibers..etc..and how it all works. I worked as a trainer for a couple years at a gym as well as my own business.

Trump4PrezThanks as always Tron. Good shit!
Sorry to hear of your injury fella, all I can say is that time is a good healer with slow and steady to get results after an injury and at 280 lb it's not as if your small my friend so it may be a case of light weights with high reps and controlled movement mixed in with some A.M cardio to gain as you put it....your physique back.
I wish you the very best of luck
this is something kai green talks about often. i rarely lift heavy because of the amount of injuries i have sustained. i always have people in the gym ask me how i am so big when i never lift heavy. dont get me wrong i can throw around some weight i just choose not to. I focus solely on from, complete extension, hard flex, and full relaxation between each rep, i also do not take any rest period. i am consistently EXTREMELY sore from this an i love it. i do alternate my routines, but i feel i get my best growth from light weight, 12-15 reps
I agree with that 100%.. After every workout I am extremely sore it bugs the shit out of me, I AM ALWAYS SORE.. I sometimes do 1RM or go heavy but most the time I just completely exhaust my muscles, don't necessarily count sets or reps..
You were 280 from your stats, where are you at now?
I'm sorry for what you've been through, but I also know that as a guy that's built a 280lb physique you have what it takes to fight back. Got to work with what you've got mate, even if that's picking up 5kg dbs.
Trump4PrezCat i have put on about 20 lbs since the injury. I worked myself to get off Dilaudid and 30mg Oxy Instant Release and now im determined to burn some fat and get my true physique back.
U still in the hospital?
Trump4PrezNo im out. Injury was 7/31. Just started using the arm a little. Stretching range of motion therapy and 5 lb max
U still have open wounds? How are you healing? What are u eating? Get some Boost..
Trump4PrezThe scar goes all the way to the middle of my bicept.
Yea i could see that it was very long...what happened to the person that hit u?
Trump4PrezThanks guys! Yes thats my arm. I was hit by a car doing 65. I was thrown 60ft. My bones came thru and broke some toes needed a skin graft to close that wound. I had a faciotomy for compartmental syndrome to avoid the tissue dying and needing amputation. I crawled to my car and drove to the hospital. They had to take bone from a dead person and graft it to my bone and thats what's taking the longest to heal. Plus some plates and screws But overall i feel great now.
Damn bro that is some shit, wish you the best.
Saying some prayers for you brother...hang in there...keep us posted on ur progress, too.
Trump4PrezAppreciate that Med
Yep... u bet.
Is that ur arm bro? What happened?
at 280 im not sure what you are looking for.... but yea you can bro, the muscle doesnt know the difference in 20kg or 100kg......... its how you use the weight and how much micro-cellular damage you create..... THEN it has to have a constant supply of nutrients to heal and over compensate for the hammering you gave it.
Thats a brief synopsis....... just to get the thread alive lol
this is interesting, i started doubting myself the last 3 weeks in the gym, ive been doing heavy bench and shoulder press but i changed my bicep/ tricep/ back routine, lighter weight more reps, feel that burn nd fully control each rep, in the back of my mind ive been thinking i hope it doesnt create that "ripped" affect because im bulking.
on a side note, i have been following the negative tension perfectly like i saw you write, spending about 12-15 seconds on the way down with bench and shoulder press and im loving the results already, trying too reach those fibres closer too the bone.
Stick with it bro you will get a growth response from the ultra slow twitch fibres near the bone with negatives........ the heavier the better, try it with a weight you cannot raise!... start from the top then control that fucker down real slow... i have to count the seconds in my mind because my teeth are so hard clenshed i cant talk when doing these.
Works with every body part....... after a while you will notice a fair strength increase doing normal reps.
P,S you will only get the ripped look by working the fast twitch fibres just under the skin (the outer of the muscle belly)
Did u see his lacerated left arm in his pic??
i have now......... thats a mess
Looks like it was stapled to start off with, then dehisced from an infection...
Trump4Prez5 surgeries 1 day apart each time to avoid infection. My Dr was very cautious. Hes great
Speechless, bro... sorry about the compartmental syndrome. But, most of all,glad ur out. Are u going to outpatient OT?
Trump4PrezYes they set me up for 12 months 5x a week to start for OT then eventually PT.
