AHAHAAHAHAHAH!!! Sweet thread!!
List of things I'm guilty of from my early training years :
1. Wearing the xs t-shirt to train.
2. Wearing a weight belt on almost everything.
3. Carrying a copy of FLEX with me everywhere.
4. Pointing out the flaws in every guy bigger than me.
5. Training arms 30 times per week and legs once per month.
6. Displaying old, empty supplement jugs so friends would be impressed (they weren't LOL).
7. Bringing rice cakes and a litter of water to a movie theater (fvckin gay LOL!!)
8. Tri-shooting in every reflective surface on planet Earth.
9. Skipping outings with friends cause I didn't wanna miss a meal.
10. Practically having a panic attack cause I couldn't get to the gym for a workout cause of a huge hail storm.
11. Thinking bb was end all, be all of human existence and criticizing anyone harshly for not "getting it".
12. Bringing my own food to Thanksgiving with family cause I didn't wanna "wreck my diet".
I was 21-23.....what can I say?
Good post, I was guilty of some of those things as well.
1. Wearing the xs t-shirt to train. - Never
2. Wearing a weight belt on almost everything. - Guilty
3. Carrying a copy of FLEX with me everywhere. - Not that bad, but did buy Flex every month
4. Pointing out the flaws in every guy bigger than me. - Still do that, we all do
5. Training arms 30 times per week and legs once per month. - Not that bad, but did neglect legs. Maybe hit legs every two weeks.
6. Displaying old, empty supplement jugs so friends would be impressed (they weren't LOL). - Never
7. Bringing rice cakes and a litter of water to a movie theater (fvckin gay LOL!!) - Never
8. Tri-shooting in every reflective surface on planet Earth. - Of course, guilty
9. Skipping outings with friends cause I didn't wanna miss a meal. - Close, I would skip outings cause I didn't want to drink.
10. Practically having a panic attack cause I couldn't get to the gym for a workout cause of a huge hail storm. - Yep, but make it a hurricane
11. Thinking bb was end all, be all of human existence and criticizing anyone harshly for not "getting it". -yep
12. Bringing my own food to Thanksgiving with family cause I didn't wanna "wreck my diet". - Close. I would not eat many of the things on the table. Now I eat everything and say fvck it
A few of my own to add - Link Man of Steel, these are all the stupid/gay things I've done in the past
13. Living off of protein bars and shakes, mistakenly thinking I would get huge as opposed to eating real food.
14. Buying countless supplements that did nothing but put my wallet on a diet. Weiders weight gainer and andro are good examples of this.
15. Using those black fingerless gloves
16. Using wrist straps on damn near all back movements.
17. Shaving my arms and legs to see the cuts - how fvcking gay was that?!! (unless you compete, put the razor down)
18. Training every day hard as hell, never healing, and therefore growing slow as hell.
