Questions for Big Paul

[Doggcrapp]

Paul I was wondering if you could tell me about your lat tear from the mowing accident? Where did it tear and does it look differently from the other side now? indentation?

Also previous to your gyno operation, when you got down to very lean bodyfat was there still fatty tissue around the nipple area or was it basically the hard fibrous tissue?

I'm interested in the Gyno operation as well, becuase I know I have fatty gyno from being heavy my whole life, and will sooner or later have to go through the operation to compete.

As far I know, I do remember paul bitchin' about his back when he tore his lat. I thought it was just a minor strain and I was givin' him shit.

Correct me if I'm wrong BigP....He didn't have any apparent bruising, or indentation- It felt like a big knot, and painful palpation at site of tear- just lateral of the transversus processes of the lumbar spine area- just on one side. Pain shootin' up the spine- especially doing the 'slump test' ask me if u want to know what that is lol.

As I don't fondle with his nipples... I cannot answer about the gyno, I believe there is some hard scar tissue left, but i must say that it looks a TON better than pre-op... much more 'harder' definition of the chest and a little bit of swelling post-op though.

Sorry DC I must have missed this question. As for my back,, I have never had anything hurt so bad in my life, even broken bones. My dumb ass screwed it up even worse the week after I tore it when I was feeling better and tried to deadlift. Like Mikey said there was no bruising and no dent just a big lump down by the lower part of my lat where it inserts into your spine on my right hand side. So basically what it boils down to, I was fucked for about 6 weeks and could only half ass lift but it is feeling much better now. Dude it was so damn bad I could not get out of bed without severe pain for almost a week. Don't ask me how the fuck you tear a lat weed whacking your lawn, I still have not figured that one out. I feel like such a pussy.... lol

As for my surgery it is hard to tell how it went right now. The swelling was terrible but the pain was minimal I can say that. The swelling is finally starting to subside now that I am almost 3 weeks out and I am noticing some difference from before. The doc said it can take up to 6 months to see full results.

As for what my chest looked like before, I had a hard lump under my left nipple that was very painfull and fatty tissue that ran along the outside of my pec. This did not seem to go away no matter how hard I dieted. The doc took a good bit of mass out of my chest but said there was a lot of scar tissue in there from the previous surgery that he could not get without damaging my nipple. He showed me pics of what he took out and I would say it was a hard fiberous disc about the size of a quarter with some fatty tussue attached to it. I guess time will tell on this one. I also had my love handles and lower abs lipo'd. The love handles turned out nice and they are all but gone now and my waist is about 2 to 3 inches smaller. All told the doc said he took out almost 5 lbs of fatty tissue.

PS mikey kiss my ass see how you are when you are in your 30's,,,,, LOL

[MikeyG]

Think so young man, well we will have to see huh, age can be very deceiving...

[MikeyG]

IH... Wasn't this a picture of you back in the early 30's, when you had thought lifting humans and throwin' them was the best method of training?

[bigp3]
