I see a guy in the gym yesterday who is one of the security guards at the community where I live. He's about 23 and if you saw him, you would honestly never know he lifted. So he sees me and comes up and asks me what I'm taking. When I tell him I'm not on anything he's like, "Bullshit! No way, you're not on juice." Then he tells me, that for the last year he's been on 1000 mgs of test, 500 mg deca, 200 mg trenbolone, plus the last 4 months G.H. and insulin. Yet the guy can't weigh more than 160 at 5'8". Apparently, he started juicing the same day he started working out...and it's not like he's the only one. There's like an epidemic of these clowns. I remember back in the 80's, if you were a 20 year old guy with a great physique, you felt special, like being part of an exclusive "club" and the guys at the gym were cool. Now, it's just a bunch of juiced up losers with hideous tattoos all over them, balding, goatee wearing, pimply jackasses. That's a "club" I don't want to be a member of.
This is when i realized the exact same thing i built my home gym. All the benefits of training with weights, without the inconveniences.
Nowadays gyms are packed with superifical narcistic obsesed spoiled insecure retards barely hiding their physical / psychological shortcomings . If you stay in that environment hours a week, you re prone to imitate them even if you dont want to.
Going to the gym makes you as stupid as the people you meet there, period. You can enjoy wieght lifting without showing off before complete strangers who anyway think they re better than you.
Going to the gym is like a vain competition between utterly retarded losers with no winning prize but getting stupider. It's like trying to prove you're more insecure than the guy curling by your side. Quite an achievement isnt it: even if you "win" , you lose. The funny is some (well, 99% of gym members) people dont even consciously know what they re doing and convince themselves in thinking they re doing something positive for themselves and as a results for the others. Reality is, it's purely vain and even hurting them.
Removing any root/influence of narcisism and training at home is what it's all about for me nowadays. I also tend to get a lot less self centered/obsessed and more confident about other parts of who i am, that i obviously neglected when oblivious to the sheer stupidty of the world i was discovering. 10 years later, well...i made up my mind.
Most of us start lifting weights due to physical or psychological insecurities, myself included , the problem is when you dont even cure them lifting weights, but make em worse ,especially when surrounded by people with the same or even worse insecurities. Hardly produces any positive change. There's more to curing psychological insecurities than just lifting godamn fucking weights... It's called "thinking", and it doesnt prevent you from lifting weeights smartly either.
"Bodybuilding" , "gyms", are harmful to a sane mind, and especially to young people who have even more insecurities than said "adults".
Being obsessed with building bigger muscles than the average joe doesnt make you automatically, magically, a "Man".
Takes a lot more to be a man than just lifting weights.
