Mid to late 30's and still "Chasing the dream"??

Sounds like I've hit a nerve once again.

Doesn't apply to me, I agree with some of what you say. I think bodybuilders who carry tupperware everywhere are embarrassing for example. I just don't think you give two flying fucks about whether someone is wasting his life. These threads are just a way for you to talk about how successful you are in all facets of life. You have everything, money, bright future, wonderful wife, a Hummer, an amazing natural physique, and etc etc. Not only that but you are also "Getbig Commander in Chief" with the most gimmick accounts out of anyone. Fantastic.

What's your honest, unfiltered opinion on the wannabe and neverwas doing tons of cycles?

Delusion plain and simple . Unless you're doing it with an athletic goal in mind, including a local show, there are no differences between you and your local crack shooting junkie.

Now comes HRT; I firmly believe in it if the goal is to remain healthy and prosper from your late 40's, early fifties and on. There are environmental factors that will bring your hormonal levels down prematurely.

I love it how some guys on here feel the need to post whatever is on their mind at any given moment. 

As if whatever comes out of their mouth is important, and needs to be heard by everyone.

Alex23, give it a rest bro.  Didn't you "retire" from here anyways?

Yes all those things about Alex are true.

That's the beauty of it; I've always been honest on here, I don't get the hatred.

You are envious, "alex23"

[žoklis]

depends on your level and industry/sector but down here for commercial products a senior engineer with decent skill set it's somewhere between 100-150k + Bonuses and/or stock options...

Is it bruto or neto?(before or after taxes?)

$10k buys you a toy bugatti with a few coins left over.

I see many of them on a daily basis; living the full blown 'lifestyle', weights and 'meals' (haha oh brother) comes first, rarely have a career and even if he does comes sloppy second, living paycheck to paycheck, absolutely no savings whatsoever other than the money he piled for his "next cycle"... no kids and usually with a desperate ugly older women , sponsoring his selfishness and submitted to his lifestyle (could she do better?)


Have you ever stopped for a second and thought about what you could do with all that time spent trying to 'make it? And even if you make it, what's the prospect? Is it sustainable? Enough to build a financial future?

What happens when you hit 40 and realize you have neither a career nor the "body" you so insecurely which you had wrapped yourself into  ? Go back the "school" for the 4th time?

I'm 30yo, have both a career and partner in a successful consulting business. I have a Master's degree in Computer Science. I love bodybuilding but it's just a fucking hobby, not a "lifestyle".... when work pops up, "lifting weights" takes the backseat in a heartbeat...

I love how the "no pain no gain all sacrifice for my goal" of 80's early 90's has "inspired" many; I specifically like how they blindly and stupidly live by it without weighting the pros and cons... 

Why would you ponder? Those with lives dont. Get on with yours lol

Why does it bother you so much how one lives their life?  Obviously you have a chip on your shoulder about something?  Do you feel like you have to prove your success to us on this board?  You must be somewhat obsessed with the hobby, being able to find the time to post over 7k times, you spend alot of time paying attention to these individual that are so called "chasing the dream" you obviously couldn't reach.  Good luck with your succesful consulting business.
