How does a GREAT bodybuilder deal with...?

[gordiano]

...being one of the best in the bodybuilding world yet:

• getting no respect in public
• a wife or gf that doesn't train
• an average position in their day career
• frowned upon by some
• little or no money earned from bodybuilding

in other words excelling in something yet in day to day life not experiencing intense respect that they may deserve and even a failure in some areas of life...

That is a rare phenomena and a compelling one to explore imo...

Who cares? As long as you are living the dream....

Nobody is going to say shit to me by themselves.

you mean like George W Bush is given respect and adolation?  Mike Tyson is given respect and adolation?  The list can go on and on, Saddam Hussein was he given respect and adolation, all people at the top of their fields and not given what you just mentioned.

What do you mean? performance enhancing drugs?

Please explain that opinion...

when you feel like you are not respected or shown thanks for what you have accomplished you just turn to the needle and inject an extra cc's of your choice test.  Or you pop a pill to calm you down and lay down, not in the sense of they are shooting up cocaine and smoking majiuana.

I don't think this applies to the "great" bodybuilders. The top of the top make a great living and have pretty good lives when compared to the average 8-5ers that have to punch a clock. It's the one's who never quite make it and can't make a decent living off the sport.
