You may wonder why there would be special instructions on how to change a diaper if you're a bodybuilder. Well, here's the deal. Bodybuilders are use to working hard in the gym. It takes a special dedication to lift huge amounts of weights several times a week. The same could be said about powerlifters. In either case, when you are lifting in the gym, you can easily build up a sweat, and sweat tends to get smelly after awhile. But no problem, just get some deoderant, or take a shower. And if you are training, and you are nearby someone who smells bad, you can just move away, and work out in a different area of the gym.
But what happens when you need to change a diaper.
Picture this: You've had a tough day at work, but you know that you still need to hit the gym hard, and heavy. You don't have a lot of energy left, but you tough it out, and put in a great workout. You get home late, with just enough time to take a shower, and go to bed. At around six in the morning, you awaken to an odd, and pungent smell. You go to your child's room, only to discover that they have taken the biggest dump in their diaper ever! So massive, that the diaper has broken apart! Now what???
Well, let's ask Casey as he works to conquer this tough situation...
Now let's note some key points in how Casey handled the situation:
- He got a scarf to cover his face in order to block the smell. Unfortunately Casey left his gas mask in Guantanamo Bay during a secret rescue mission involving 23 ninja, and an adorable puppy named "Num Nums" see pic
- Casey had plenty of handi wipes on hand to clean up the "situation".
- Casey took a few "personal time outs" to get his bearings in order to deal with this particular incident.
- Casey waited until AFTER he was finished to take the scarf off his face.
- He wasn't afraid, or ashamed to scream, or should I say "grunt in long phrases" (what real men do).
Casey did great keeping his retching to just dry heaves. Upchucking, in this instance, would not have helped matters at all. Although he did well handling the situation, here are a few key points for other bodybuilders when dealing with an overly dirty diaper:
- When dealing with a really big diaper blow out, it is probably best to just wash the child in a tub. Please note: Casey was probably so surprised with this situation that it didn't occur to him to do this. And his "friends" weren't bright enough to think of this either. But they did get it on video tape!
- Going shirtless is probably best so that you don't get any of "baby's special present" on your brand new workout shirt.
- Cursing at the baby, while understandable, is not suggested.
- Keeping a few jugs of water on hand may be useful in the future, along with a small baby wash tub.
- Eye protection may be needed in case there's a second phase to the initial diaper blow out.
- Always keep a LARGE trash can in a baby's room just in case this kind of situation happens.
- Always keep at least 3 extra diapers on hand as well.
- Finally, have extra cash on hand to take yourself out to dinner, or to go for a drink once you've conquered this task - YOU DESERVE IT!!!
