Title: When you think about your best condition
Post by: calfzilla on December 02, 2009, 06:55:53 PM: What do you feel? Sad? Motivated to replicate it?

I just shake my head because I would kill to be at my best again. And it angers me that AT my best I still wasn't happy cuz I still need to drop about 15 more pounds to be truly satisfied with my condition. ::)

Yes, motivated to replicate it and kind of sad but not sad enough to replicate it I guess.

Motivated to replicate it but I'm pretty sure that even if I did exceed I still wouldn't be happy with the outcome and would want to improve on that further - that's the nature of bodybuilding for you.

Pretty much the same here - don't think I'll ever be completely happy (always tend see what still needs work).

sounds similar to me. i looked my best at 21 when i did my last show, quit training for almost 5 years and now i'm back(2 wks now) on that same long road :( but i'm more motivated than ever to replicate and exceed my past physique!

Post by: 11venthhour on January 16, 2010, 01:17:14 AM: i still have the same drive and motivation as when was in my best condition.

but some of that same motivation, drive, and money are being divided amongst my family now. i just have to find the right formula for where i am in my life now.

it was easy then. i lived on my own, had a decent paying job, and no real bills. i lived and breathed me.

My best was right before I got married, back in 2006. Now that I am back on program, I wonder why I got off it. Nutrition is really simple, only took 3 or 4 days to get back in the right habits. The after workout pump is awesome. I can believe I traded all that away for Tacos and an extra beer night a week.

Post by: JaggyShortBuff on January 20, 2010, 07:35:55 PM: I was happy at my precontest conditioning weighing 175lbs with below 6%BF. BUT, I was most happy at 190lbs with 9-10%BF. Right now I am shooting to get down to about 185lbs staying just under 10%BF. At 213lbs right now and working my diet and cardio!!!
