Lifting partner in NC foothills?



Recommended Posts

I know I'm unlikely to find anyone in my area on here, but thought I would take a stab at it. Had a lifting buddy that has moved to another state, so I could use a lifting partner in the Statesville, NC vacinity if there is anyone on here in this area. My routine varies and I'm pretty flexible in regards to my lifting schedule as long as I can get a few of my basic compound lifts in each week. Also could use a running partner about twice a week. If there's anyone interested, let me know. Thanks!

I live in the Concord area (and I'm a girl) so no help to you but there was someone on the boards from Moorseville who lifted. Haven't seen a post in a couple months and can't remember their name. Really no help at all :(

Man I wish you were closer to me. I know NC is beautiful. I live out in the country so not a lot of people around to workout with. I got to know a guy who invited me over to his brothers house to lift with them about 2 months ago. I went once and swore never again. While one brother benched, the other smoked a joint. Then they'd switch. I don't like to judge, but I don't want my spotter blowing smoke in my face, much less being less than 100% capable.

Thanks "Wls4me".....if you remember, let me know and I'll see if I can contact him. Also, if you're in the Statesville area sometime, let me know, I'm not afraid to lift with a girl as long as she can't lift more than me.....that would destroy my ego. :blink:

"Butter", same goes for you, if in the area, let me know, I can usually bring a guest for free once or twice a month.....but don't bring your joint smoking lifting buddy.......the second hand smoke would give us the munchies. Man...that's crazy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
