Do you ever feel big enough ?

[Kingfeade2]

First off, I love all you guys.... i want more friends in real life where they always strive for better... Even my athlete friends dont all think like that... most of the ppl i know are bums... they complain and dont do shit, But yes and no, after a work out i feel big.... waking up in the morning i look in the mirror and step on the scale... im the largest i have ever been but i feel kind of small...

WOW .... Im not alone here which is good and bad cause I dont wish anyone to feel like I do but all you guys in ur avatar look big and ripped but feel the same way.I can go to a waterpark in the summer and feel uncomfortable cause people sometimes stare and my wife laughs and says just enjoy it .. there admiring your physique but in my mind im like do they stare cause im too small or skinny? its crazy to feel like that with all the pills,shakes,food and supps I take to get to where I wanna b. After a good heavy workout and of course creatine and NO2 product in my body, im so pumped and full I come home take my shirt off and im like dam i wish I stayed like this all the time then id b happy but like some of you said we r our own worst critic and we see ourselves in the mirror everyday!! change is there but I just dont see it... I do have friends that dont lift and eat and drink all the time and have no worries about there body comp and sometimes I wish I could b like that, it would b alot less stressful but you know what ... I wouldnt have it any other way so I keep lifting and eating and taking supps cause thats just my daily routine and If we all were happy where we r at then we would probably stop doing what we do... Thanks guys .... Cbodd.....

6'1" or so and 234lbs and I still look in the mirror and wonder if I will ever get big? Lol We all do it. Somedays are better than others but like right now while bulking I almost don't want to look. Work my ass off and seem to not grow but everyone else says differently. It is a love hate relationship. Lmao

My (now ex) girlfriend is always telling me to stop lifting, I'm too big, but I don't see it, I just want to be the best I can be.

I don't "feel" small though, I think what you're talking about could be dysmorphia.

I would say don't wrap your identity and self-worth in BB'ing. I see it as a means, not an end.

A man should be a protector, provider, and leader, and the way I see it, training my body to become more strong and powerful, makes me better at all three.

This is how i feel, but if i was as big as him i would be less stressed, lol..

No, I don't think I am... I know he was a thief and a cannibal too. My mentioning him as an example was strictly in regards to his punishment and never being able to grasp the fruit or drink the water... Meaning our goals are typically always out of reach if we keep competing within ourselves and never settling at a certain size!

Haha my bad! I thought you were referring to him as a bodybuilder. I remembered his gory story and was a little confused as to why you mentioned him

I see growth when I look in mirror, but even if I put on another 50 lbs of muscle I would still want more. The one thing I do hate is my lack of six pack. My wife says I look good but until I look like a lot of you guys around the middle I won't be happy. I am 5'8 and 200 lbs. built but not cut.

Haha, oh man, its crazy. My opinion on my build changes day to day. At 6'5 and 250 I technically look big to a normal person but small to a bodybuilder. Id like to be 275 but I'm sure id feel the same way. People comment on my sze almost daily but then today, a kid asked me if I played ball, I said I'm way too old for that he then said I looked like a wide reciever....it crushed me....tho I wouldn't mind looking like david boston.

I can agree and dis-agree! I was always an athlete growing up and always big and broad but once I got married and started a family, the beer gut started coming around! Now I've been back in the gym trying to get back in shape, but I tell you, I want to get bigger! At 6'1 and 290 my chest is getting bigger and my shoulders have always been broad and their shape is coming back, so is my back! I've been back in the gym for about a year now, and my weight is up and down! The more belly fat I lose it feels like the weight comes back as muscle! Just going to keep busting ass in the gym!
