Post by: MuscleBuff on November 16, 2025, 01:24:29 PM
I think my life would have taken a  drastically different course had I not spent decades obsessing over getting huge. How about you   ???

I probably would have just done some light jogging or district walking a few times a week.

Career wise I would have loved to own and operate a hot dog truck in a quiet area of town or been employed by the Sanitation Department.

Yes Sir. I grew up in boxing, my dad boxed. I was always into martial arts like most 80s/90s kids and when MMA became a thing, I was on board. But that bodybuilding bug bit me and I was smitten.  :-X

Similar for me. I loved Bloodsport. Did you also watch the ninja movies with Sho Kosugi like Pray for Death and Return of the Ninja?

As someone who grew upon the wrong side of the tracks and got myself in a fair bit of trouble. Bodybuilding saved me from myself, I have benefited greatly from a life of structure and routine. Its also taught me how to set goals and achieve them, how success is determined from identifying your weaknesses as early as possible and working harder on them than your strengths. Obviously I'm not talking about long term high level competitive bodybuilding, which we know is counter productive to life in nearly all cases. But a life of training and routine has helped many people, I owe bodybuilding or training and the gym everything, I'm eternally grateful to the introduction to the gym even now decades after competitive bodybuilding I'm still benefiting from it balancing my life.

Even as a fluffer you should have realized that the statement of “If You’re Good At Something, Never Do It For Free.” still applies.

I've no idea -  My training has been a rock for me through thick & thin.
I'd of likely continued on with a boxing career or MMA.
Job / financial wise really can't say.
Maybe I wouldn't have spent so much time on the wrong side of the cops
though maybe it would of been far worse if that was possible.

I've been training for 40 years with very little to show for it (very average genetics)  :'(

However, before I realized that I had no potential, BB did give me a sense of confidence that I think served me well during my life.  Plus I think my heart's in pretty good shape.

Are you natural? 
And at the least you've enjoyed your training & have had other benefits from it .

Back in my mid 20's I competed locally and took a few weeks (months?) worth of Dbol, deca, test whatever.  But nothing since then.

No regrets and I still enjoy training for the sake of training.

I started training when I was 12, started competing at 15. Got a job with a Union roofing company at 17 was in the commercial roofing industry for almost 20 years but in between I applied with the LA Marshalls (before they merged with LASD) passed everything then my buddy got shot and killed (another Marshall) right in front of me, fucked me up for awhile (I've told the story). Long story short, I never went back to pursued LE, got side tracked to become an entrepreneur....here I am. An apparel company a training business and a firearms business.

I started at 12 as well. It seems almost everyone who does this into old age started very young. Training and diet habits developed at a very young age are important. I was told by a doctor that a child who is obese at puberty will almost always struggle with their weight for life.
