Wow. I can sympathize with you on the vision problems. Mine are from birth, but the one condition really throws me sometimes. The involuntary eye movement can cause me light headedness and dizziness if I'm too tired or over worked. Hope you'll be better soon!

I got the go ahead to go back to the gym from my doctor, now how to select one that does not cost an arm and a leg.

I have been going to the gym since late February. The doctor said lift light. So thats what i do, about 20% of my weight. I go three days a week.
Here is my program done on equipment made by Hoist.

10 reps per set.
leg press, 3 sets, 60 lbs
bench press, 3 sets 60 lbs
lat pull 3 sets 60 lbs
pec flies, 3 sets, 20 lbs
outer thigh 3 sets 15 lbs.
bench press 3 sets 60 lbs
inner thigh 3 sets 15 lbs
tri cep press 3 sets 80 lbs
ab machine 30 lbs 60 reps
back press 40 reps 70 lns
quadroceps, 3 sets 50 lbs

This is a wrather easy workout, but it does make me feel good. When one has end stage reanl failure your natural strenght is reduced by over 50%.

I keep it in the feel good range and i don't challenge myself. Firming up slowly and gavuung fun doing it. going to maintain my weighr around 168 on dry days nd try not to gain to much fluid between dialysis. Been doing the same routine since late february.

Nice to see you!!!

Welcome back Mr. Pole, how are you doing. Hope things are as good as can be with you.

 

[kingpole]

Still going strong at the gym. I would say the lower body has had the nost strenght increase, upper body has not caught up or really improved strength wise. I can only bench press 65 lbs, 3 sets of that. I don't know what my max lift capability is. Maybe i need a good whay protien concotion?

 

[XitemeM]

Maybe i need a good whay protien concotion?

Mmm choc WPI . I don't know if you're allowed to mix and match supplements KP, but beta-alanine can help to increase strength and endurance and delay fatigue. Maybe worth looking at Beta-Alanine. The Facts.

Good luck. I've started weights as well and wouldn't be as strong as you yet.

 

[kingpole]

I reached a mile stone i can now bench 100lbs, Pretty good for some one on dialysis.

 

[BigO]

Way to go KP.

 

[kingpole]

I probably exercise 4-6 days per week. 2 days a week doing strength/endurance training. 4-6 days a week doing stretching exercise. This is to keep from getting contractors and winding up in a wheelchair.

 

[BigO]

How have you been, is all the work doing you well. How is the health lately?

I have made someimprovements, one is that the haisr grew back on my head. Im not as week after dialysis as i was in the beggining.

 

[BigO]

Glkad to hear that things are better than before, I have read some of your posts and you must be one stubborn SOB.

 

[Going411x7]

He's a TOUGH SOB, BIGO, and one of my heroes. I often think about where I would be with the
diabetes, if it weren't for KP!!

KP, I LOVE YA, MAN!!! :hug:
