Title: Does an adictive personality , lend itself to bodybuilding?
Post by: mitchyboy on June 11, 2009, 04:23:28 PM: In the past I've struggled with alcohol addiction, and working out/ bodybuilding really keeps me straight. But now i feel sort of "addicted" if you will, to working out. If I go a few days without hitting the gym, i start getting antsy. Not that its a bad thing, just wondering if others felt or experienced the same kinds of things.

Post by: Seijuro on June 11, 2009, 04:40:37 PM: Absolutely. I train even injuried, people try to tell me something about sometimes like "don't u think it's too much..." I don't know, I get good and bad things about that, push to the limits, but maybe it's true than sometimes u lose a little bit the sense of what u are doing
