Could be a chat topic, but I am more curious to see what you all have to say. My contribution is: Your entire life revolves around bodybuilding. You are able to get other things done such as school and work, but nothing you do, or don't do is not thought out first to see how it will affect your bb goals.     | ||

There is no longer breakfast lunch or dinners anymore, instead its: meal #1 meal #2 meal #3 and so on... It means a commitment to a super disciplined lifestyle that the majority of the population does not understand or appreciate. It means hiding a part of your life because of certain stigmas (gear). It means brotherhood amongst those that you share it with (you all and some of my close friends and gf). It means never being big enough.

Definately something felt deep inside. Is not determined by strength or size or AAS. It is burrowed deep inside. B True | ||

It is a bizarre form of masochism; we love the pain and discipline, the rare agony of sore muscles. But instead of being motivated by a desire to be weak and dominated (like sexual masochists) we are driven to be strong and dominate ourselves. Do you think? Peace! ------------------ | ||

To me it means amazing everybody by putting on 40 lbs. in one year and still not being satisfied. It means constantly trying to improve your physique. It means that everything else comes after the workout. | ||

It means you can do what 99% of humans can't. It means being a perfectionist. It means being an artist. We are driven by forces from within that most people will never feel in a lifetime. It isn't just having an elite body...It is having an elite mind. It is mind over matter. It is not being afraid to take a risk. It is savoring and seeking out pain that most people hide from. It means sacrificing for the sake of a dream. It means sitting at home reading on a friday night because you did legs that day and you know they need thier rest to grow. It is not being understood by the "other people"-those who don't workout. It is thinking that what you do is normal but knowing that it is extraordinary. It is living this life HUGE. ------------------ | ||

I don't think that anything can describe it. I never even acknowledged myself as a bodybuilder until my buddy told me I had a god given gift of genetics and that I should follow it. Then finally it dawned on me that I am a bodybuilder. Before I just thought I was a pissed off weight lifter. The dirty clothes, a dirty gym, and when a callouss breaks off your hand while doing back and blood is gushing you just keep lifting and mutter FU** IT! That basically sums it up for me. The feeling of zen when you get done is the best. Not a worry or care in the world. Thanks for listening to me rant. The Juggernaut "No path of flowers leads to Glory" | ||

It means I never, ever leave the gym feeling as though I could have done better, or that there was someone else in there just a fucking insane as I am! WCP ------------------ | ||

I'm not going to say any bullshit poetry, I'll just say it means structuring your life to developing your physique, plain and simple. And having tons of self-discipline. | ||

whay (lol) of life. meal 1,2,n replace stadard feedings. you can look a plate of food and know the cals, fat, protein, carbs. your calousis (sp) on your hands are beyond craking and tearing. you have shoes/sneeks for leg day, non-leg day. you get to the gym rain, snow, sleat. Hell you even opffer to open it up on those days. bottom line, you train to feel better. either being stronger, faster, or just to look better. but your in the gym, doing what it takes. | ||

It means shunning those who make fun of you because of your dedication. It means having the discipline to put your body first over other things, not because you have to, but beacuse you want to. It means being different, and loving to workout instead of considering it a chore like most of the population......... i could go on and on.. | ||

It means completing that last painful,muscle searing,heart pounding rep even though your brain screams NOOOOO!!!! and then going for 1 more. It means getting buried at the squat rack rolling the bar off your back and loading that fucker again while everyone else just shakes their head. It means telling the megahot redhead you work with no when she asks you out for a beer so she can "get you drunk and take advantage of you"...cause tommorrow's leg day!!! It means postponing a trip to visit family because it falls during the middle of your cycle and your not sure you can find a gym!! ------------------ | ||

Most people dont understand what it takes to do what we do. They dont understand how hard we work 24/7 to attain the goals that we have set for ourselves. Being a hardcore body builder means seperating yourself from all those that dont understand and dont have the balls to do what we do. It means being part of an elite group that understands what it takes to achieve your goals and to try to better yourself day in and day out. | ||

i hate to brake it to some of you but all that grandiose bullcrap doesnt apply to everyone on this board. a lot of you juice and bodybuild because you are insecure with the body you have. Period. Dont act like bodybuilding is a religion its a self improvement like getting an education is for your mind. |
