Jiz, u ever feel like you are spending too much time, effort, health, money, on this shit? You got a pretty nice build you could probably maintain with just some TRt and mod blasts here and there. U ever feel like you are wasting your life a bit? Im just sayin cuz im 31 now and feel i really wasted alot of my youth worrying about gym and body stuff. I wish i picked up other skills or socialized more when i was younger
honestly - not at all... im a college student and my majors are easy as shit to me... im actually attending like twice as many courses vs my mates and still have plenty of free time to socialize, go out, spend time with the gf etc.
i live right next to the gym so im savin a lot of time there too.
i spend less money on bodybuilding than most people my age spend for partying and drugs.
before i was into fitness i easily spent 100-200€ a month on partying/alcohol/clubs.
i spend about the same for AAS and supps right now. the most expensive part is food by far. food is easily twice as much as AAS, supps, gym fee etc together...
well, the only part thats hard is the girlfriend thing.
we all know bodybuilding is an extremely selfish sport and can cost you your relationship...
for a woman its hard to deal with her man basically putting his health at risk on purpose for the sake of looking better.
most women i know are actually rather put off by the bodybuilder look. theyd rather have me either chubby or smaller with the beachboy physique.
plus if i ever told any woman the whole extent of when ive already done to my body in the past theyd probably put me into the loony bin
or 99% would think im a maniac
regarding the going out thing... im not the party guy anymore..
from about the age of 13 to 18 (yeah, drinking alcohol starts early here) i spent half my life partying, getting wasted, doing drugs etc...
that was for 5 years. as many great memories from that time i have, it was basically pointless.
a life like that just does not fulfill me. i dont need that in my life anymore.
bodybuilding makes me extremely content...
it has always filled a gap for me and created a purpose in my life, especially when there was nothing to hold on to, but even if life was perfect all around it just made everything even better.
i still go out and get wasted here and there but maybe every 2 months at best. sometimes you need it to give your mind a rest and just stop thinking about food/meals/training etc all the time, but anyway i love this lifestyle and it has just become part of me.
im a lot more down to earth now, i learned to appreciate sitting at the seaside with my girl, watching the sunset or just spending a chill day or night with my buddies talking about complete nonsense and just having a good time.
i dont feel like im missing out on anything... rather the opposite. i dont understand how someone my age can base the whole purpose of his life on getting drunk or getting wasted on shitty drugs.
