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?
