Sick... AGAIN!

So I have tonsilitis yet again, its just a stupid sore throat... that makes it hard to sleep, hard to eat, hard to drink... makes you tired, distracted... keeps you from work and play.

And why do I have tonsilitis again? I think I have developed chronic tonsilitis, every few weeks for the last four or five month I have got it when I have drunk too much or slept too little. My tonsils are actually swollen all the time, but they only get sore/sick when I get tired.

So I will have them removed. Easier said than done. Can't just do it, need to see a specailist first. Ok, so see the specailist, easier said than done. I was refered to the specailist more than a month ago and they still haven't seen me. So frustrating.

Furthermore everytime I get sick, I have to go to the doctor for the prescription, man would I like to get a prescription pad of my own, I already know what they will pescribe, they do each time, Penacillin V.

Wonder if i can convince them to give me an unlimited repeats prescription... I hate having to rely on someone else who isnt open on the weekends for a cure.

Also, while im ill, i find it hard to motivate myself to do exersise, and Im beggining to worry ill never manage to change my appearance to what i want it to be without more concerted effort.

Was speaking to one of the bodybuilding twins I mentioned yesterday about how to buff up, and he said that it's a combination of diet and exercise (nothing new). He said that it's important to train different parts of your body each time, in order to let the part you trained last time rest. He said he trains each part only once a week, and he goes to the gym five times a week. But his arms tend to get really buff anyway, because mostly when he is training other parts of his body, he will end up training his arms at the same time anyway.

He said tall people tend to have a tough time becoming as buff as short people, but he didn't say why.

Alcohol and bodybuilding don't mix. He told me that he only has a 45 second break between sets, and if you're feeling pain in your arms, then it means you're doing something right (I disagree with that, but what do I know about bodybuilding?).

(continuing from that)

I posted him some of what you wrote in your other blog, and he said that you need to concentrate on one area in order to build up muscle, rather than doing a lot of different workouts in one day.

He has been working out for 6 years now, and he said as an example for you, this is his chest workout:

bench press: 10 x 120kg, 10 x 110kg, 8 x 100kg 8 x90kg

flat bench fliers: 4*10 @ 35kg and 1 x 12 25kg

incline benchpress: 4x10 @ 45kg, 1x10 @ 30kg

cross over cables: 10 x 25kg, 10x 27.5kg, 10* 30kg, 10x32.5kg

tri setting: 6 sets of following: 10 dips, immediately followed by 10 cross over cables at 25kg immediately followed by pac dec machine 50kg

Don't know exactly what it all means, but hope it helps!
