The fear
« on: July 23, 2014, 03:57:25 AM »
Regardless where you are in life, of cutting cycles, roid cycles, diets and regimes, do you feel an innate fear of losing your muscles?

The feeling that if you don't abide by your muscle standard you lose part of your identity, or rather self worth.

You have worked out for decades, and in your scientific mind you know you don't lose your muscles by cheating, taking brakes, but you have that underlying anxiousness that you might anyway.

I am starting to lose that personally. I have come to the conclusion that if I lose muscle so easily after working out for half of my life, it's not worth it to always strive to be at my personal best.

There should be gains that stay through normal life.

Am I tripping out right now or do you know what I mean?

Do you have "the fear"? Have you lost it? Is it a good thing?

I think it's not a matter of 'fear', since it will happen anyway. Will I accept it? Partly yes, partly no..

Nuclear weapons are some disturbing shit

I prefer biological weapons because at least you don't royally fuck up the earth and future generations.

Good point if youre going to kill someone you should at least think about not killing plants etc leave them out of your war I say.

As for your original question do we not fear losing anything we worked hard for like muscle, money etc or losing anything  even though we havent worked for it at all, like our hair or falling out of love.

Here i find it appropriate to quote the great poet w axl rose:

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

The only thing I fear is to  wake up one morning and not be able to log on to getbig.
The rest I can deal with. Even Shizzo being released

I have thought about muscles more than all the serious world problems and disasters combined.

Guys, you shouldn't fear "Nuclear Weapons", since they are baloney propaganda... They didn't work in 1945, didn't work today...

If you dont consider the lifting lifestyle to be normal life then you have the wrong mindset for bodybuilding.

It means that such weapons also have the potential to "fuck ... future generations" in a variety of ways, radioactive or not.

i fear none of those things...never fear anything that you can fight/destroy/avoid...

fear something tangible like cancer...that shit is terrifying...and the treatment takes years off your life if it even works...there is no winning with that shit!

you lose that fear once you figure out how to control your body and realize that you can walk around at 250lbs if you want.. you just have to be willing to do the things that are required.

once you've attained a certain 'level', and you pull back and lose a lil, and gain it back.. you lose the fear that's it's "gone forever".
