OK, beloved forum...Let's show off our newly restrained selves--committed to helping one another with fitness questions while avoiding taboo topics. I am posting this thread as a test...anyone who can seriously discuss bonking will prove their resolve to change and improve this forum for the better!

So, serious question here...what the hell is bonking? I get that it is tied to being very tired, but what is the difference between regular tiredness and straight-up bonking? Is this a dangerous situation? Must precautions be taken? Are there any after-effects? Must the authorities be notified??:azzangel:

I am posting this fitness topic in the Lounge on purpose in case the thing gets a little off-track...:newangel:

LMAO!!! you little :SaiyanSmilie_anim: devil you.......;)
 
I am too busy "honking" the horn of my internal fire, which leaves me wired and "bonking" fired.

"Bonking is Terminated"

"Passion is Germinated"

and

"All Adversity Exterminated"

I do not "allow" myself to "bonk".

My mind and body connection does not allow this to occur, with only "one" exception.

There is no questioning it.

There is no doubting it.

There is only getting it done.

There is no other recourse for me.

I experience "bonking" a few days into a very low carb diet, just before "the switch" or during the "process of the switch", but I know (be being educated in the process) what is going on, and know that this low energy feeling will pass, and I will enter a new dimension (of which my body responds so intensely powerful to).

I just simply, get out the mental "swatting stick", take off my friggen diaper, and get to work, despite it.

Bottom line.

Get it done.

I must ADMIT, that when I sit to SH@T, my @ss gets wet BIT by BIT, as "bonking" splashes the water in the toilet bowl PIT

This will not QUIT because my butt stays LIT

Just.........Do it!

;)

:)

Best wishes

Here's an article for you:

A diabetic bonk is far more serious than a non-diabetic bonk. A diabetic who is hypoglycemic will eventually pass out and start convulsing if they don't get sugar (before they pass out) or glucagon (after they have passed out). If left untreated, it's fatal.

bonking means er the birds and the bees :) In a fitness setting it would mean running out of steam.
 
ok, CAPTAIN SCIENCE TO THE RESCUE! hahahaha

it takes a carb to burn the fire called a calorie. burning a calorie is what porovides the heat, or voltage, we call energy! BUT- you must also have a "liquified" (water, potassium, sodium) muscle to utilize the voltage.

SO-
hydration - bonk (but your mouth will be so dry you will know it)
sodium deficient - bonk (slowly declining)
potassium deficient - bonk (twitching and then cramping)
carb (sugar) deficient - bonk hard- must stop now!

my last long run I bonked hard on carbs, and I over heated so I stopped processing fluids, at about mile 14 or so. I sat in the shade, took of my shoes, ate 2 gels, a homney stick, rung out my socks, put my shoes back on, layed back for maybe 2-3 minutes, and I was up and going again.

developing the mental capacity ot be able to push yourself to a bonk, is much harder than surviving one. By the time you "can bonk" you will be ready.

SO- now I apologize for my scientific innacuracies, and my lack of book knowledge, but I would rather spend my time "BONKING" hehehehehe

FF

p.s. in your case GG- if you are starving, and then letting that treadmill run you- that is not good. If you were out on the road you would stop. But on that treadmill, watching T.V. (while starving yourself) is dangerous. Eat, drink, get outside, and be happy! luv luv!

I bonked Tom so hard with my big stick before that he bled badly and he had to go to the hospital to get stitches.

The nurse said I shouldn’t really be breaking branches off trees to bonk people over the head with even if they are as annoying as him
 
I'm a little surprised that it took a whole 10 hours for BigTom to show up in this thread!

We're in training here, Mister--forum etiquette in the face of temptation is what we're trying to pull off!

So, I get tired every workout. What is the difference between that and an actual "bonk"? Does it only happen during cardio? Todd, you don't have to worry--I'm definitely not starving myself. Cardio days have gone really well for me--I am picking up more speed and simply the ability to run rather than just walk, but have not really even worked up to "endurance". It is possible for me to knock off a 25 minute HIIT session, but I would not be able to jog for 10 minutes straight. That's OK, because I really need the benefits of HIIT to keep taking the weight off--things are better every 5 lbs or so. As the weight comes off, the endurance and distance will come.

However, I have had a few experiences lately during weight training that are (slightly) disturbing. Yesterday for example, my entire last set was punctuated with episodes of lightheadedness--so much so that I nearly toppled over (never during the actual exercise, but during the rests, or when standing up after setting the bar down after DL's). I was ultimately able to complete the entire workout, only halving the DL reps and lunges reps on the very last set because I was afraid I'd actually pass out. When I got home, I tested my blood sugar, and it was at 100, which is normal, so I'm kinda wondering what's up.

These things happen to us all the time in the gym--occasional lightheadedness...it only disturbs me, and really only a little, because I have had this experience several times this week and last, and didn't with that consistency or frequency before.

So, I thought I'd learn about this thing called the "bonk". And since the word has a totally different connotation for me, I added a little allusion to naughtiness to keep things interesting!

Cute, Typhon!
 
sleep? water?

and wehn you take yourself waaaaaay up in an HIIT cycle yer suppoosed to get dizzy qand almost fall,- that's where the fun is! LOL!!


hahahahaha

now, when really bonking, it is best not to hold your breath!

matter of fact, you may need to blow your sinuses out, and breath thru your nose some honey.

I am not qualified to go much further with you on this delicate subject, being were both married and all.
 
I'll spend a little more time making sure I sleep properly and concentrate on water--I've been a little lackadaisical lately about that!

I am good with the dizziness that comes from HIIT--I expect it and it passes quickly and the same way each time...Is it possible to bonk from non-cardio training?

Why is being a nosebreather better?

Oh, Todd, keep going--we're on the verge!!;)
 
So based on your explanation, FF... running any considerable distance on a very low carb diet is asking to bonk??

Honestly, I feel bonked without physical activity. :bncry:

I hope your not trying to "bait" Tom. He is now on the straight and narrow.
 
I thought bonking was when you do the hockey blow and accidentally get it all over yourself.

And I am talking about boogers, so we're clear... Nose boogers... The nose on your face... The face on your head.... The head on your neck... The neck...

... ****, I give up. I don't know why I even tried. I mean honestly, who posts a serious topic about bonking. There should be a rule against teasing the animals. :(
