bulkNcut. You need a reality check here. I can think of no health problems that would preclude one from enjoying some healthy debauchery at your age. You need to evaluate where you are at and think about goals for this milestone event in your life.
Remember to be specific. Simply getting hammered with a little beer is not a goal, per se. Getting hammered by 11pm and then convincing some women you just met to come back to your place for a little fun with 100 square feet of plastic tarp, a five gallon tub of baby oil and a handle of tequila…
Now THAT’s a goal.[/quote]
I appreciate the pep talk, as well as the link to the inspiring article on gaol setting haha. Still will have to take a rain check on the plastic tarp, baby oil, and tequila though.

3- Whiskey. Can’t stand it, can’t drink it, don’t like it. Idk what this says about my manhood, but this is especially true for JD[/quote]
You just need to find your gateway whisky. Much of alcohol is an acquired taste (let’s face it, the taste is only secondary: people drink to get drunk), so a lot of it will taste rank the first time you try it.
I hated whisky for years, then one day I tried one that didn’t taste bad (to me) and I was able to appreciate the flavour. It was one of these Bunnahabhain 12 | 12 Year Whisky | Bunnahabhain
Anyway, from then on I was able to pick out flavours in whisky and find ones that I enjoyed, and now I fucking love whisky. In fact, I’m off to post in the whisky thread right now.
So just keep trying one every now and then, you’ll appreciate it eventually.

Shit is meant to get weird when a bottle of tequila is opened. Open one for your birthday and have everyone tell you what a great night you had lol[/quote]
I completely agree. I’ve never drank any sort of hard alcohol to enjoy it, so I am looking forward to finding something I like.

Please explain?[/quote]
I’ve had 3 surgeries in the past 2 years to remove a piloinidal sinus. Basically have spent the past 2 years with an open wound of varying sized in my ass. Largest was about 5 inches long, 2 wide, and a couple deep. It healed up finally 2 weeks ago only to reopen again. I go off to school in 3 months, and cannot afford to have this not healed. If i fall it could rip bigger, if I take too big of a step and stretch the area it could open bigger, hell the damn thing opened up while I purposefully sat around resting. Haven’t trained lower body in 2 years, and haven’t touched a weight in 2 months in a last ditch effort to heal this thing. Theres’ a lot more to it but I can’t afford to get drunk and injure the area [/quote]
Have you been checked for Diabetes?
No but I see where you’re coming from. I don’t exhibit symptoms of a diabetic. Also I have been going to a wound center this entire time that treats diabetic ulcers and what not very frequently. Point being I’m assuming that they would have checked that out if they thought it was a factor. You’re in the health care industry though right?

I have my masters in nursing, been in the field since 1992.
I had a few patients that had this back when I was doing family practice. Two most recurring Diagnosis was Diabetes and MRSA. That does suck man.

Yeah its been rough. The wound care has introduced me to a whole new level of pain. I didn’t know it was true that someone could pass out from pain until this pleasant experience. Anyways I’m going off to school for exercise science, and eventually want to be a CSCS, so I’m sure you guys can see the panic/problem in the situation there. Any recommendations on where I should go from here. Im gonna go get a second opinion from someone in Boston (bigger area, hopefully more knowledge).
My girlfriend had MRSA and had to spend a few months hooked up to a wound vac, not to mention multiple surgeries. That was pretty hard for her. So I suppose you get a pass for not going Animal House for this event.
You are doing the right thing. Just do what you gotta do to get past it.

Sorry to hear about this. I have a question for you guys. I apologize that it goes beyond the scope of this thread, but you’ve been helpful so far (minus the budweiser incident) so I figure I’ll start it here and then maybe open a new thread on it. Given my situation, do you guys think I could still become a good coach (all other things being equal).
I mean I’m a strong believer in practical application and in the trenches knowledge when it comes to lifting. I’m kind of becoming the guy that I hate, the one who has read all the books and studied all the details, but really doesn’t lift. Yeah my situation is different and I have tried training through this (pulling my heaviest deads with a 4 inch hole in by ass was one of my dumber ideas) but I have no other choice. I literally crave training every day, its a crazy shitty feeling I cannot explain.
I’m just afraid I’m gonna go off to school and be that guy who looks like he hasn’t touched a weight in his life, and never has really gotten that strong. Its just exacerbated by the fact that I have a lot of passion for training trapped inside as well as a bit of knowledge on the subject. Sorry for the rant
To bring a lighter note to this thread did anyone try the Sam Adams cold snap? looked delicious and I heard nothing but good things about it. Too bad my birthday timing was a bit off

Derek could certainly give you better medical advice, so I’ll keep my comment brief.
My girlfriend is fully healed. She’s got a scar and some tightness around the area, but nothing significant or life changing. After surgery her wound was about 3 inches in diameter and located at the base of her spine (or, to be crudely specific, at the top of her ass crack).

Absofuckinglutely. I would focus 100% on getting healthy. You are young and your potential for muscle-building will not diminish any time soon. If weights are impeding your recovery you should reconsider the wisdom in lifting at your stage.
Get this wound healed up. How to do that is something I can’t help you with.

Thanks man, and to Derek as well. It honestly means a lot. yeah I haven’t touched a weight in 2 months (not even for curls) and its driving me nuts but like you said its probably the smarter decision if impeding recovery. I’m looking for information on wether the fact that the majority of my ass crack is scar tissue will cause it to reopen by lifting, but I’m hoping not. its hard to sit around and get weak and scrawny again but trying to focus my mind on other things. Like beer drinking

Sincere thanks for your input. On a side note I realize you were involved in the thread I started about a first tattoo. The design is related to my current health situation. I hadn’t posted it on there though. That may end up being my birthday present to myself, but we’ll see. I just don’t want it to be a emotional decision instead of a rational one.
Just a few other comments about my girlfriend’s recovery. You two had different specific conditions, but same general problem of having a great big open wound at the top of your ass. I imagine her present state of fully recovered is the outcome you are after, so I’ll share my recollection of how she did it.
She took it easy. REALLY easy. ALL THE TIME.
She did everything her doctors told her to do, especially the part about TAKING IT EASY.
It took a long time to heal. Even after the wound vac came off there was a long period of TAKING IT EASY for many months.
So, in conclusion, you should consider TAKING IT EASY.

Trust me I’ve learned the hard way on this one. I trained through it for the majority of the time. Terrible stupid ignorant dumb idea. Right now I’m just TAKING IT EASY though the issue with mine is it’s not the top of the crack but the middle. Due to my bodacious glute muscles not much air gets there. Was her wound gone after the vac was taken out or still open?

My 21st birthday party was the only time I truly got blackout drunk, thrown out of a bar, and had a hangover for multiple days.[/quote]
Sounds like a successful night. My only time ever being black out drunk was my first time drinking. That was a rough night. 9 shots of Gaylord rum came back out a lot easier than they went down.
If I recall correctly she had two surgeries after the wound vac came off to clear up the scar tissue and, forgive me because I don’t know the proper terminology, restore butt cheek separation.
There was a long period where we were very worried about it re-opening. I’d say it was at least a year before she was really out of the woods. But again, she did everything right with her recovery and it paid off long-term.
