POLL: DO PEOPLE MAKE BODYBUILDING LOOK HARDER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS ?!

[Stavios]

This pool is for the people who already dieted down to contest shape.
To the other ones: STFU   

So I got into an argument with some guys at MD today because they kept saying: "You have no clue how hard getting ready for a show is.... etc..." ( you guys know the speach )


Now IMO, getting ready for a show takes a lot of dedication, self-control, you may be a little tired some days.
but is it really HARD ?

People talk about it like it is the hardest thing in the world

I feel that with a good planned diet, you can get really ripped without being tired all the time and you can keep training super hard without burning yourself out.

I started at 16 weeks out to diet this year and it is way easier than when I took 8 weeks the last time



speak on this mofos !

again, the thread is for people who actually dieted down once in their life

[davidpaul]

[Stavios]

hey hey don't get me wrong I'm not saying it is easy ! 

[Bluto]

Consistancy is the only thing in wich people fail. Diet/training/supps/TIME

[BroadStreetBruiser]

[Stavios]

What does: "POLL: DO PEOPLE MAKE APPEAR BODYBUILDING HARDER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS ?!" mean?

I explained it in the first post G

people make it seem like when you are in contest shape you are almost half dead and you want to fight with everyone and the last month of a prep is the hardest thing to do in life

Then when you say it's "easy" we'll see just how well you did.

Contest pictures, dude. I want to see just how easy he made this.

I ran a marathon once and it was easy. It took me 10 hours--but it was easy.

[Luv2Hurt]

There are many things much harder in life. 

Agree if you know what you are doing it really is pretty manageable. I get a little short tempered and have a tendency to blow things out of proportion the last few weeks.  Can at times bring out the not so nice or cool side of you, its more trying and longer than the prep for most events.  So its pretty hard, but the hardest thing in the world?  No way. 

Anyway you look at it everything is easy if you have your health.


"And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done...so I missed a million miles of fun."

I want to see stage shots. Anyone can say something is "easy" and have mediocre results. I'm not saying that's you or anyone else. It's just that a random person tells you that others make things too hard...well...he'd better have a great physique.

[columbusdude82]

Stavios, IMHO what makes it difficult is having to maintain the consistency of diet and training over time. In my experience, making one big decision in life saves you the trouble of making many small ones. So making the big decision of getting into your best contest shape ever yet helps you avoid all the little nagging decisions to make (chicken and brocolli or burger and fries for dinner tonight, etc...)

[bigdumbbell]

what does that mean...DO PEOPLE MAKE APPEAR...

[AVBG]

Hey Stavios, You're an angry little fucker when dieting! I love the posts..hahahha

"you don't fucking need 20 person by your side dude

just eat a lot of protein until you want to puke, controle your carbs and fat intake and you will grow"


"Bullshit

if you are alone or if you have 200 people training with you, the results will be the same fucking thing

if you need all those people on a daily basis to tell you " GOOD LUCK BILLY, TRAIN HARD, DO 2 MORE REPS ! " then you are very weak mentally and you have no self-confidence and self-drive

man the fuck up ! "

[AVBG]

This is the best one!

"LMAO !
Because I don't bitch about how hard it is I am a fucking moron ?!?!
Because I am intelligent enough to be in shape 3 weeks out so I don't have to do any depletion and do it the easy way until the show I am a fucking moron ?

whatever man 

I'll tell you what I think of you guys who constantly need to talk about it and ask "feedback" every other days: YOU ARE INSECURE ! YOU NEED PEOPLE TO TELL YOU HOW GREAT YOU LOOK AND HOW HARD YOU WORK !

I don't compete for my friends or my family, I compete for myself.

that's the way it should be

of course I am happy that they come to the show and watch me onstage but I don't compete FOR them"

[Matt C]

I can't speak for whether or not dieting is harder than it actually is, but I think it all comes down to personality.  I have a personality where I am very regimented at what I do and that is where others fail.  I think it comes down to discipline.

dude I am taking about conditionning here.
and I am not saying it is easy

but every people who compete at my gym don't bitch about it HALF as much as people on the boards and they are as lean if not leaner


Once again, I never said it was easy
