No. It is a stress reliever and I think I might kill someone if I couldn't do it regularly. There are just too many assholes looking for a punch in the face to give it up.

Welcome to the club.I work 50-60 hours per week and go to school 3 days per week. It is hard to stay in shape when you have a schedule like that. Sometimes you must put your priorities in order simply just switch to "maintain " mode rather than Body building mode...just try and stay in shape and focus less on bodybuilding per se. Unless you are a future pro bb this is just a Hobie or a way to feel better about yourself..it isn't your whole life.

I quit my job to live the dream. I'm sleeping in my Kia in front of Gold's Gym Venice and take sink baths in a Burger King bathroom.

I gave up aspirations of competitive bb years ago when it dawned on me that I had no interest in weighing 300 lbs.  I will never, ever quit training though.  That's just plain silly.

LOL..almost lost my eggs! Bodybuilding is a lifestyle that I never intend to give up. For me, it's a time to reflect on myself through ongoing challenges and striving for personal goals. I "find" myself each time I challenge myself in a physical manner. It is about looking in the mirror and liking what I see..to be happy with the person i am and am striving to become. It's no wonder that when people are forced to spend time with themselves that they turn to some form of exercise..like prisoners who lift weights and do push ups in their cell..it's a time of personal reflection and taking time for themselves for a change..too many folks would rather direct ALL of their attention to others in order to not look strongly at themselves in the mirror..like soccer moms who put on ten lbs. of fat every year and then have a midlife crisis and are depressed..no way will I ever stray from the iron...that's how I stay in tune with myself..keep the $$$$$
