I don't view it as a "sport", I look at it as necessary maintenance to keep myself in shape. Saying "when will you quit lifting" to me is sort of like asking "when will you quit taking showers" or "when will you quit brushing your teeth". I suppose for those who compete and go to extremes with it, it's a legitimate question, but not for me.
Exactly.
Though it's possible that in a few years i will go into a "maintenance mode". Lifting 2-3 times a week, watching the total cals a bit, but no more "bodybuilding diet". That way it's possible i think to retain a decent physique, basic strenght, a high metabolism, general health, and have enough time/drive for other hobbies.
