When I feel like needing a service, I have bitches on call.

Yeah sure you do. just like you are a crip and bragging about it on a bodybuilding bulletin board.

Some good posts there by Blockhead, Shawn and Sami.

I myself used to be like that - I gave my whole life to bodybuilding for at least ten years before I realised that I was never going to acheive my dream of becoming a pro-bodybuilder. There was only so much gear I could afford and food to put in my stomach.

Then I met my future wife and my outlook changed after that - I realised I will only have one life and life is for living - not for being a prisoner to the gym and the diet and the drugs. I found myself wanting to travel the world and seek out new opportunitues - I wll always have a good physique because I still do train but if I miss a meal now or even a workout I don't bitch about it - I just get on with other things.

Don't be a victim of the bodybuilding lifestyle - thats when it becomes very damaging indeed.

Most true of all true posts that were ever posted.

 Thanks, player...I'm learning. I'm trying to break loose just a little bit from the clutches of BB. It's too bad that I actually ENJOY it. Take BB away from me and I still would much rather spend my free time lounging and watching movies. I never been to a club and never go to bars...hardly ever. I live very austere anyway. I have to keep reminding myself that the world doesnt revolve around me staying in a positive nitrogen balance...at all times.

Has it ever occurred to you that not every single person on the planet wants kids?  i am not saying every pro.  but i can guarantee you there are some that just don't want kids.

Amen brother! Societies pressures....to hell with 'em! I do not want children and people look at me like I'm selfish and irresponsible- maybe I am selfish- so what? But for others(always those with kids) to tell me how irresponsible I am really pisses me off- I, in fact, am making a very responsible decision to not have children- too many people have children who maybe did'nt want them- guess who suffers? Misery loves company! haha

TheBlockHead Himslef has only done 3 shows but has been living the lifestyle to it's fullest for the past 5 years. I mean to the FULLEST. My life revolves around my protein consumption and being in a positive nitrogen balance. I will never go pro nor would I ever imagine doing so...I just love this stuff and have fun prepping for a show and prepping others. ALL my money after important stuff is out of the way goes to groceries, and eating out constantly. Just last week...I bought a Swiss Army Watch...set me back about $80 and I had buyers remorse for about 2 days all over a punk ass watch...because I started to believe that $80 could have bought me a weeks worth of red meat and chicken breast and bag of potatoes and I almost brought it back.

 I've been married a little over a year now and the #1 subject of fights between TheBlockHead and Mrs.Blockhead has to do with me never being home(training, tanning, training someone els, meeting up w/ someone els I'm prepping to see their progress for an upcomming show, picking up and dropping off and slingin gear, grocery shopping, eating out somewhere etc...) and my INABILITY to 'give and take' and compromise. NEVER, not even once in a while take another day off from the gym to do something with her...if there is a family function...I will absolutley REFUSE to go and Mrs. BlockHead is flying solo because "they" will only have hotdogs and hamburgers and beer over there...PLUS...I gotta meet so and so at the gym..."they're 3 weeks out...he/she needs me!"

 When I am off work...I refuse to do ANYTHING outside my norm of pickup/deliveries, train, nap, tan, cook, eat, nap and be a slug on the couch or bedroom because..."I am regenerating and growing''. I am so on the go, go go all the time never stopping I can't even clean out my car because it's FILLED with gym clothes, tupperware everywhere, wrappers from protein bars, empty water bottles, crusty old shaker cups and resturaunt recipts and Subway plastic bags, weightbelts, magazines, old newspapers, wrist straps, spilled gym chalk and more tupperware.

 I'm just a local NPC competitor in Chicagoland who hasn't even won his weight class yet and I'm having a hard time handling my life and marriage. I'd reckon in the higher levels of competition it's even WORSE and more difficult.

 Most serious competitors I know are all divorcees and the ones that are married are in really disfunctional relationships. I read about guys like Dugdale and I don't know how he does it. I'm trying to keep it together but the 'spirit' of bodybuilding has got ahold of me and I don't know if I will defy the odds or become another statistic. Bb is my love and passion...but also my worst enemy.

I like your plot twist of how 'life' began AFTER the BB days were over. I always say one of my biggest fears is my life AFTER BB. I feel like I am institutionalized. I wouldn't EVEN know how to wake up and NOT be on a militant on the clock live by the watch schedule. I wouldn't know how to exist by blending in with a crowd...how could I exist without abs...and arms like mine...and a physique like mine.

 How did you do it, Shawn? Did you have to 'cope'? Was it a mindfuck? To shrink...lose size and cuts...to NOT eat constantly...shit, to eat off a dinner plate instead of out of tupperware. How does a BB keep the inside of their car clean???

TRAPPED INSIDE THE CULT!

 Thanks Anabolic Outlaw...you gave me a book at the ASC 3 yrs ago. I stood out in the cold with you and told you that I was Born Again. I am. I'm down w/ Christ and I roll with him. I make no secret about that.

 I have nothing to do with the occult. I don't even look at 'astrology' or horoscopes in the paper 'for fun' cuz I know better. I once found a quijja board in my brothers gf's car and me and him broke it, stomped on it and burnt it on an alley without question.

 I do use gear so I guess that's 'sorcery' right? Through it all...i don't condemm anyone to hell because we're ALL sinners...just like you, right?

you sound extremely bitter.

Are you suggesting that a huge bb pushed Tom's face in the dirt, then had sex with his girlfriend who then gave birth to said bb's child and now Tom is raising the bastard child while the bb who abandoned the child and Tom's girlfriend, moves on to his next phase of selfish bb training and the next skinny victim (like Tom) leaving Tom an embittered puddle of depression and a shell of his former self who's unable to look himself in mirror and feel like a man anymore?
