well when you do it as serious and as competitive as i took it, its not something you really enjoy anymore. i havent really lifted for years. i do here and there. and i still get asked how much i lift ect. but i know im not in shape as i was used too
but i started lifting at age 11. i really loved it and it made my life very very good.
but yes, its all temporary. i dont see why people stay on full tilt when they dont even compete. to me thats weird
but to them wearing trunks oiled up on stage is weird , for what they say is for just plastic trophy
right?
