I didn't realize, when I first came to this non site, the regulars, for the
most part, are cynics. Now, I'm beginning to see part of the picture. Had
you asked me direct questions, from the beginning, without alluding to my
being a "troll" (and I'm, still, not sure what that is) I would have
answered your questions, in detail. So far, I've had to defend my position,
while trying to decide if this is a worthwhile venue. I contend, your
Welcom Wagon lacks acceptance, and needs revamping. Now, to my story:
The user name you see on my shares is the one with which I was born. I am
59 years young, and I am a survivor. As I've said, in previous shares, I've
had major setbacks, over the past 10 years, and I suspect, this had a bit to
do with my development problems. Yes, I've been totally blind for longer
than most of you, I suspect, have been on this planet. I began, trying to
build my body at a time when publications were limited and virtually
inaccessible to the blind. I joined the first spa in the early 70s and with
each successive administration, was given a different plan-none of which
helped me toward my goal. Many wasted hours of strenuous, painful routines
rendered me little improved. Yes, diet is probably one of the culprits.
Only, on my workout days am I strict about what goes into my mouth. For
breakfast I have a bran cereal with raisins and whole milk. , and for lunch
a sandwich of white bread and about 8 oz. of hard salami, followed by a
large bowl of pasta and vegetables. An hour later, I begin my routine.After
my workout, I eat at least 4 ozs of chicken, as I understand we cannot
assimilate more than 4 ozs. of protein, in one digestion cycle. For the
remainder of my day, I eat apples, celery and carrots, as snacks. As I've
said, before, I don't know the science involved in the entire process.
That's why I came to this non site. Any more questions?

Would you like some frank-n-beans? If you are using your real name, I
suggest you stop before Curt James shows up at your assisted living
facility.

I remember one day I was taking a big dump at the local truck-stop and I saw
a hand waving at me from under the other stall, and it was Curt, who had
tracked me down because I was using my real name.

You end up hearing all sorts of things on USENET, and you have to
admit that your story is pretty unusual.

Trolling is a type of fishing where flashy lures are pulled behind a
boat. The fisherman wait for a fish to strike and then reel in the
fish.

Some people approach USENET the same way. Instead of coming here to
promote discussion they are here to stir up debates. A common tactic
is to pose as a very unique individuals (say a blind man that has
broken every bone in his back lifting weights) and then either try and
cross the respondents in their words, or incite a heated debate (also
called a flame war). Now, I personally don't believe that you are a
troll, but I can understand why others would be skeptical.

Defense is wasted on USENET. It's far better to simply cultivate a
sense of humor and a love of sarcasm. If there are folks that you
find aren't worth paying attention to the correct response is to learn
to use your software to filter their posts out.

We call these messages "posts" not "shares." Thanks for sharing
though 🙂.

You would think, by the way we act, that most of us are punk kids.
Sadly, that's not necessarily the case. I also use my real name on
USENET. Most folks, however, don't.

OK, so what precisely have you tried? Generally speaking the folks
here will suggest that you use compound exercises like squats,
deadlifts, chinups, dips, etc. The set and rep schemes that you use,
the number of times per week that you exercise, and how you decide to
split up the exercises depend on goals, but if you have been doing
these sorts of exercises for 30 years without results then its
probably not your workout routine that's the problem.

I'm not a nutritional expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I
am pretty sure that you can assimilate more than 4 ozs. of protein at
a sitting.

I would suggest adding more protein to your diet. Lots more protein.

According to an online site of ideal body measurements, I should have a 45
inch chest and a 31 inch waist. Having enough strength to accomplish 3 sets
of 240 lbs, 8,5,3, one would think I would have developed greater than a 40
chest, but I realize, when I lost my latts, my chest measurement suffered.
As to my waist, I need starve myself, to lose the remaining 3 lbs I need, to
reach my ideal body fat. Of coarse, I know the afore mentioned ain't gonna
do it. Jason, obviously I've happened on the wrong non site, for my
purposes. I wonder how many other well intended folk have come and gone,
due to the juvenile approach of it's participants. I am not an"unique"
person, as you will learn, if you gravitate toward physically imperfect
people. We are, more often than not, more industrious, and take more
chances than the non aflicted community. It's not unusual, I put a new roof
on my house, by myself, nor mowed my lawn for years, and those of my elderly
neighbors, nor shovelled my walks and theirs. You see, Jason, you and the
rest of the world see us out there, and have no idea, we have conditions
which set us apart, in not so obvious ways. The people on this site, used
their power of ignorance, to try to defeat the purpose for my having come
here. Other than you, I don't think anyone else is serious about helping.
I thank you for your suggestions, and I'll take a careful look at what
you've imparted. Perhaps, all I need, is what I've learned from you,.
Thanks, my friend.

You're welcome. I have nothing but respect for people who overcome
adversity. If you have any questions feel free to ask here, or you
have my email address.

Also don't judge all of USENET by mfw. Each and every newsgroup
really is different. USENET has the advantage of being largely
text-based. It's the sort of forum where someone like yourself could
be very useful.

Just a thought,

There were no questions until your initial posts, so that's fairly...

that Dally screeching over and over, something like, "WHAT ARE YOUR

Only about a million.

Do you have any friends? What is your occupation? Where'd you get your
information on protein... assimilation? Can you afford a gym
membership? Are you in contact with any blind assocations that may
assist in your goal of trimming the fat and building the muscle?

Let's see, only about 999,995 other questions, but I'll wait a bit.

Meh, this IS moot as I'm in his bit bucket. Honestly, I don't think
I'm missing much. I suspect his attitude is his greatest handicap.

Jason, I thank you for encouraging me to stick it out, on this non site.
You're right, I still read through all the posts, hoping to find answers to
my original questions, for which I recieved ridicule and no satisfaction. I
have a few questions, of coarse, which I need answered. There is a Web
site, I joined, last night, which is a bit mor blind friendly than this one.
I'll not be back here, again, as it's too difficult to have to read through
every post, and getting so much non-information. In a few of the
informative answers to other folk's queries, I picked up a bit of knowledge,
I didn't have coming in, but those shares are so infrequent. now, as to
those of you, who have been having a field day with me, I wish you sanity
and maturity, and hope, soon you will be able to see who is real and who
isn't. I know, this is dangerous, but I'll leave this site, and leave my
Email address with you. If one of you sarcastic little girls has the
decency to say you realize I've been mistreated and I will have answers to
my questions, if I return to the site, I'll accept the gesture.
