If you threw a party, who on EF would you NOT invite?

That is beyond frustrating. I have put a few friends and clients on hard core diets, they are all gung ho for about 3 days. Then they start feeling tired, hungry, lethargic, weak, and flat. People have NO comprehension of what it takes to step on-stage.

Exactly! He thinks he can do it... well then he'll find out the hard way. If hes not willing to make a small sacrafice then he'll never be #1 !

It's funny being one of "us" because we know what it takes to do it. I almost feel bad for people who I know don't have what it takes to get there. I can tell in almost %100 of cases who can stick it out and who can't. Or when people ask what it takes to look like you. When I think about all the sacrifices and hard work it boggles my mind. I am by no means a national level badass bb'er, I haven't finished better than 2nd in any of my 3 state level show. It sucks to know that most people who want to do it can't because they don't have the mental tenacity.

After spending most part of a day going back and forth with emails getting excuse after excuse, how he was gonna do it and what he'd do to make it work. Not listening to 'reason' and not willing to sacrifice 12 weeks to get there, I can't fathom wasting my precious time. He wanted me to tell him that we could have him comp ready but he still could not be 100% devoted... I refuse to do that... LOL! well needless to say, i haven't talked to him since Friday.

You're exactly right, if he won't commit 100% it won't get done. If you aren't completely committed you will come up with every excuse. It is a HUGE investment for you to help him. I have helped a few people who were serious, it is very demanding. They want to know when, why, how, etc. They tend to overthink things and worry about mundane details. They will bug you with theoretical scenario's, etc. I know because I had a guy help me with my first show and I'm sure I wore him out.

Guys who step on stage don't typically abuse their bodies with rec drugs and alcohol.

Lots of irony in that statement considering the other things non-nat bodybuilders put into their bodies.

Pick your poison I guess.
