Wow that's too bad for with a passion for the iron in that age bracket.
I guess they should become at peace with mediocrity.
How to deal with dying inside not from internal organ failure but rather stewing on holding back on your passion?
What about posting on a bodybuilding forum in your 30s and 40s is that ok with you?
I hope it's mentally sound.
I'm not 30 yet so I'll clue you in when I get there. Hopefully I won't last here that long, though.
And yes, those guys are fucking psychos. It's why when they quit the lifestyle, they all die of overdoses (DeMayo), go broke and sick (Matarazzo, Prince, Wheeler, Mohammed, etc.) or linger around the sidelines of the sport like creepy HS dropouts who never leave the school grounds (Ray, Bob Chick, Palumbo, etc.). It's a slimy creepy industry that attracts the lowest scum.
