a) can you start a post without "U WOT M8"
b) So do you have a condition that affects your kidneys outside of taking creatine then?

basically squats and oats (mainly oats) aggravated his appendix and shut his kidney down

Now I may not be a kidney specialist, but how does an appendix, even if it is aggravated by otherworldly amounts of squats and oats, shut down a kidney?

U WOT M8

The whole point was I don't have normal healthy kidneys now.. I only have 1 kidney and my creatinine was that high that they contemplated giving me a harsh glucocorticoid steroid cycle.

Say Suttin......

Well I'm not sure your point came across right. There's a big difference between someone with healthy kidneys taking creatine and someone with damaged kidneys taking it. Creatine it self doesn't cause kidney problems in healthy people, it does however tax the kidneys so it's safe for people with kidney problems.

I think the original post read to peeps in this thread as a warning against taking creatine, as if it caused your problems. Which it doesn't sound like.

This is like the same argument when people say cholesterol causes heart attacks.

Also, is it snowing lots over there? Came out of the gym after my bench PR and it was snowing a bit, though not much of it is sticking to the ground. Took my doggie outside since he's never seen snow, he was a bit confused trying to dodge it and sh!t.

Well most of the studies are pretty clear that creatine really only be used in healthy individuals. but that applies to alot of supps.

We had a nasty mix of snow and rain early today but it passed around 3 today. My dog loves the snow he goes crazy. I might be in Tulsa Saturday. I have to go to Texas and I might have to stop and pick up a mate in Tulsa before I go. It's not certain yet though..

brb we are considering wakeboarding but not a sport that has been in the olympics for over 100 years

I think you mean over 2700 years, brah. BRB Ancient Greece doesn't count.

I was told my creatinine levels were high too. However, upon some research young muscular males who have a diet high in protein have higher creatinine levels. take your creatine.

Creatine does occur naturally in red meat. I can't remember if it occurs in any other meat or not.

I read that beef, salmon, and tuna have the highest amounts.

Too bad I hate fish.

Does anyone else have an issue keeping your back arched during deficit pulls?

[Fivefootkillerz]

Lol you're a silly willy.

creatinine and creatine don't even the same cause, they don't even.

either you're kidneys are being huge *******s to you for no reason, or you recently increased the volume in your training.

[thom2355]

Yup.

[Jason2459]

Yep, move the bar forward a bit and lower the hips a bit and don't do a huge deficit. 1-2" is plenty. At least that's what I try and tell da womenz.

Say Suttin......

Has a genetic kidney issue... blames creatine.

[HamburgerTrain]

my mate bellow VVVV




question im benching 2x a week and doing mp 2x a week i just feel mp is doing more harm than good and really agrivating a serious issue with a nerve could i swap it out for something like cgbp or incline without it affecting bench


or should i stop posting it on a forum and give it a go ?

I wouldn't use that guy as an authority for anything if I were you. He doesn't even know why his kidneys don't work.

[xRequiem]

negs if you dont

[xRequiem]

negs if you dont

I accept the challenge.

Neg me if I fail tree fiddy

[isaku900]

yeah its one of the reasons that deficits work your lockout so much, bad starting position caused by the offset.

dtaps wants me to do 345-355 for 5 tonight. I might do 355x5 just to outdo you.

[Jason2459]

Yes, you should.

[thom2355]

Yes, you should most definitely allow your ego to drive the ship rather than the advice of "Do 5 reps unless your form sucks or the reps are slow. In that case do triples."

[LessThanLuke]

This. For some reason a lot of people do deficits to work on their speed off the floor in normal pulls but its a way better tool for helping your lockout.

[Jason2459]

Yes, you should most definitely allow your ego to drive the ship rather than the advice of "Do 5 reps unless your form sucks or the reps are slow. In that case do triples."

and sometimes you just have to compete against someone and push it.

[Jason2459]

Awesome, idea of a mono alternative in a power rack if you have at least one other person to train with.

[arian11]

Lol, I guess I should have put a not srs tag so that people would know I'm joking. For all I know, my lower back will flare up again and I won't even get past 2 plates. We shall see.

[thom2355]

I don't disagree....but if you have an issue with squat form that you are trying to correct, pushing your squats can do less for you overall by reinforcing bad habit that performing reps that will help you over the course of a couple months. In this case you have to ask which is worth more. Short term satisfaction, or long term benefit?
