+ 10 Why I love this community (may be overly deep to some and I understand that lol)
We all are in this together. We live this shit. We know there are risk (and hopefully we all actively strive to minimize them via health supplements/donating blood etc.) but it is a part of us. In life, everyone wants to experience things (i believe we have a soul). There are race car drivers who want to experience that speed (that’s not something that appeals to me, but it is a part of them). I’m not advocating this life, but here I can say it is what my soul always wanted to experience. I couldn’t imagine being someone (and oh boy, there are a lot) that never picked up a weight, and never had a desire to do so. That goes back to my racing example, it’s interesting how things are naturally a part of us. If gear existed or not, I’d be obsessed with wanting to see what my body can do. What it can become. Strength, size, everything. Many look at this as body dysmorphia, and hell it may be to them and may fit the label/definition, but I simply don’t care. It’s what I am. It’s what I love, and this community is a great thing because I don’t feel judged, I feel I’m a part of something unique, something I am and so many here are. If you read this, thank you for your time reading my feelings

mrthrowawayTotally get where you're coming from, man. It's more than just lifting, it's a whole mindset. That drive to push your body, see what it's capable of... that's the real addiction. I've felt the same way - like, even if I couldn't use gear, I'd still be in the gym trying to max out my potential naturally.
You hit the nail on the head, very well said brother
Well said I hope and wish more look at it from this prospective, all the best.
You as well!!

rhino82Hear, hear. We are a brotherhood here. I agree with every word of that message
Happy to hear that! Agreed
Yeah man I agree with you as well. Before I found this site early this year I was alone in the topic. Now it’s great to read experiences, share my own and get advice from you guys.
Hell yea
Hear ya. It's great having a unique hobby, and it's great to have a group of people helping you excel in that hobby.
I completely understand where you are coming from buddy - its an immense feeling of personal satisfaction, accomplishment and in turn happiness that only you can feel. You can't really explain the high you get from it to others unless they experience it for themselves. I don't really like how its become the new 'cool thing to do by the kids' with all the social media attention training is now getting, kind of feels like it takes away some of the uniqueness and dedication of it but hopefully in time they will become bored of putting in the effort like they usually do LOL
I Hope you are feeling a bit better now mate and have got through the worst of your dear wifes passing a while back
Really appreciate that. One day at a time.
Yes, the way it became “cool” is completely what it shouldn’t be and totally is the opposite of my point l. Hard work will burn them out in due time, only the ones who are passionate will remain (eventually of course).
I'm of the opinion that "normies" ruin everything lol.
Yes!
LMAO!!! They do whatever they think looks good to others, not neccessarily what they enjoy.
