yr only 23 its ok to be self absorbed ppl dont expect much from you yet....so if anyone else has a problem with you bodybuilding cut them loose....if you wanna quit then you will be the stereotypical person many of us hear from all the time like SeaHawk said....excuse after excuse....if you want to set yourself apart; finish school, get a job, and make bodybuilding, eating healthy and being fit a part of yr everyday life and a way of life....like a second job..... stop expecting sooooo much from yourself...muscle doesn't even mature til your 30's....so give yourself and yr muscles time to grow and develop.... p.s. the only person you should be tryin to look good for is yourself! dont forget that! good luck
Mate you have answered all your own questions. You are too critical of your self. Take a chill pill back off a bit but dont quit. You will regret making a hasty decision. The tossers bagging you dont go putting themselves out there so who gives a shit what they think, its what you think of your self that really matters
Whenever one of my friends talks about quitting I remind them there's no shame in being a quitter. The vast majority of people quit. You will quickly join the ranks of the other 99 percent of gym goers that eventually figure out how hard this sport is an cancel their membership. I also refer them to the plethora of excuses at their disposal... my gf doesnt like it, I dont want to get too big, I dont have time in between work and watching tv... the list goes on.
Maybe it was waking up in an abusive household every morning before spending the rest of my day being tortured by my peers at school... Or maybe it was the endless energy I put it just to be normal with aspergers.... but I never understood the word "Quit".
You are right bros.When i come back from vacation june 26 i will focus on getting my bf% down to 6-8%.I would get there around 170-175 that be decent for me for now.
Leave it alone bro before this thread gets fubard.... Ai is Aromatase inhibitor (adex,aromasin etc) it was meant as a joke type comment to get estrogen levels in check before making the wrong decisions that were running through your mind.
Thanks for the comments everyone.I deleted my bodyspace account in bodybuilding.com.I dont want bunch of retards in there who doesnt even like like they lift tell me how to live my life.
dont make bodybuilding the focus of your life. just do it...
what i mean by that is you can live a bodybuilding lifestyle without making it the entire focus of your life and estranging people who are close to you. you can wake up in the morning, drink a shake and go to the gym for an hour and a half, and continue to eat healthy during the day. you dont have to shut people out of your life.
what you need to avoid doing is spending hours on end at the gym, spending all day cooking/eating food, and spending all night on bodybuilding forums. and for God's sake, every conversation you have with someone does not need to be bodybuilding related.
doing these things without making time for others is what people dont like about bodybuilders. thats why people sometimes view us as self-centered. so make a healthy bodybuilding lifestyle your norm, and never forget about the people close to you in your life.
How are the below comments lame without "AI" advice. For one this is about him quitting bodybuilding not gear. Also we don't even no if he is currently running any by this above post. And if you have been on this site and are a full grown man and need to be told to check your "AI" you are pretty f*cked already in my opinion. You might want to take another look at who you are calling lame. I am quite sure that there are some very experienced users here. I will say your advice isn't bad but when people shit on everyone's comments expect shit to come back your way brother.
You know what I just reread that and I see what you mean! Good catch I just got done saying that sometimes writing on here doesn't translate well. I would +1 you if I could much appreciated brother.
I think what they were saying was that your post seemed a little bitch like and you may need to get your estrogen levels in check. I'm sure they were joking tho. It's all good bro
Im no online faggot....lesbian yes. Your body is not something you change in a month. There's othet online faggots thst have been doing this their entire life. Most women dont like online faggots that are shredded year round. Most online faggots simply change their life to make themselves healthier.
Notice: no online faggots were attacked, injured or ridiculed before, during ,or after the viewing of this statement.
We have all felt this way at some point in life. We doubt, we quit believing, we quit pushing forward. But at the end of the day u do whatever makes YOU happy.
If other people can make you quit you were not meant to live it anyways. Life is about decisions and priorities and there is always a sacrifice of one for another. Your problem is not bodybuilding and I going to try to be as nice as I can because writing words can not always reflect the motive of the writer. Your outlook on life is your problem. I am a former Navy SEAL from the most elite SEAL unit ever created. So I know about perseverance and winning also I am a former world Thai Boxing Champion in two weight classes. Just so you understand why I believe I can speak this way to you. Self accountability is what you need, make your decisions and live with them, don't blame others on boards who are mean, or your girlfriend, blame yourself. Because it is all on you, if you are bodybuilding to impress others it will never last, real BB or any other great athletes do it for themselves and they make the choice to be selfish and go through or lose whatever it takes to achieve their goals. If your goal is to be the best boyfriend then put everything into it and eliminate anything that gets in your way, same with any other topic that means the most to you.
You are still young but the decisions you make today will determine the man you will become tomorrow. Take all the credit for who you are and what you do, and also take all the blame this is how greatness is achieved. Best wishes for you brother.
I appreciate the compliment very much from you & oldhead. Honestly I just love this place and the people here. If someone would have told me I would be on any internet site a year ago let along make a bed here lol I would have lmao! This place the people like yourself has brought me from much ignorance in this world to much enlightenment!
BOOOOM!...... this is the answer you were looking for.
Top words pankster brother..... you touched a nerve inside me when I was reading those words ... power words I will call them if that's ok with you .. the more I read and digest your stuff the more I want to meet you... you are my choice of person I would spend time with in real life to bounce motivation off each other for the better good.
That would be my pleasure my brother I would pick your brain dry and learn all I could! You know already what I am talking about because certain men achieve this in their perspective fields but it takes tha exact same mindset to do so. The way you write and put foot to ass I would have thought you were former SAS, I worked with those men and they were top notch! My next trip to England I will make a point to take you and Suzy out! Your counsel has help many of my guys with the health I am in your debt!
It's a journey brother, not a destination. Like Viking said...slow down. If you quit now, before you know it, quitting will be a bad habit for you and you will not even be aware of it. Quitting once will make it that much easier to quit again in the near future, just because things are getting hard, you will quit, screw that. Keep your head up and keep rocking bro! Goodluck
In addition to what everyone else has said, sure a "10" is a nice thing to have but in the long run you will find out that a "10" doesn't have to be purely based on appearance. Often times the significant other than's a "10" based on appearance, isn't the one you will stick with. Even that gets boring! Believe it or not, there are more to women than T&A...(well..maybe not much more lol. just kidding ladies)
That's the superficial world we live in talking through you.
and yes, I think I'm still suffering from low test so my response may be a little "chick-ish" LMAO
Good luck bro. Take a breather. Get your head on straight and do what you want!
I stopped basing attractiveness solely on looks years ago.My woman is a 10 to me.She takes care of my children,she takes care of me and there's always money in the bank.I've had women before and I've had money in the bank before.I've never had both at the same time until I hooked up with the one I'm with now.It's amazing how much pressure is taken off a relationship when there is money in the bank.
Edit:I guess I should mention that she is beautiful and has very nice T&A.
SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW..... everything down my man and don't let the pressure from others get to you so much... yous only 23yrs bro my last tooth filling is older that lol, let me tell ya you have all the time in the fkn world to get this thing right, nobody ever said this lifestyle was easy bro its constantly demanding of your time and efforts but the trick here is that you must be the master of your own destiny.
My advice here would be take some time out to re-access your goals, re-plan,re-focus and come back a better man....... you are in control and you must believe in yourself 24/7... when you are fully in control you will know it because you wont have the time or inclination to even bother with other useless pricks.. that is bodybuilding bro, looking after No1...... YOU!!!
Take this from someone who has been there. Who's life is this anyway? It's yours! Do what you want! Dont let someone else tell you what they think because at the end of the day you have to be able to live with yourself. Somewhere out there is a chic who will understand and appreciate you for your dicipline. If "you" are tired that's a different story all together.
Its all about balance my friend, and if it is something you are passionate about and IF it makes YOU happy, your significant other should have no problem with it. Just my 0.02.
Try cutting back.I have a family and I have no aspirations of being on stage.I do a full body workout,2 times a week.About 30 to 40 minutes.I've been doing cardio 3-5 days a week for 20 minutes.I have actually pushed past size plateaus that I couldn't push past 16 years ago.A lot of women say they don't like guys that are all muscle,including mine.All,I know is that the leaner I get,the more attentive she gets towards me.
Well ive had a look at your pics mate and can honestly say you ain't got shit to worry about. Your arms are massive, when you get your BF down you'll be happy as a pig in shit. Lol!!
Bodybuilding isn't meant to take over your life unless your a pro or basically obsessed with it.
It should enhance your life, I love it but so find training something to look forward to.
Sorry to hear your Gf left you.
Dont give up just try a week out, you'll prob be dying to get back at it.
And stop trying to impress other's on here, it's impossible to please all people all the time.
yr only 23 its ok to be self absorbed ppl dont expect much from you yet....so if anyone else has a problem with you bodybuilding cut them loose....if you wanna quit then you will be the stereotypical person many of us hear from all the time like SeaHawk said....excuse after excuse....if you want to set yourself apart; finish school, get a job, and make bodybuilding, eating healthy and being fit a part of yr everyday life and a way of life....like a second job..... stop expecting sooooo much from yourself...muscle doesn't even mature til your 30's....so give yourself and yr muscles time to grow and develop.... p.s. the only person you should be tryin to look good for is yourself! dont forget that! good luck
this isn't the MISC man, stop acting like it is

can anyone tell me what an ai comment is.And what did he mean by check your ai to make sure it is legit?
Leave it alone bro before this thread gets fubard.... Ai is Aromatase inhibitor (adex,aromasin etc) it was meant as a joke type comment to get estrogen levels in check before making the wrong decisions that were running through your mind.
Job done here..... lets move on right!
I did below. You do know what ai stands for don't you??
Thanks for the comments everyone.I deleted my bodyspace account in bodybuilding.com.I dont want bunch of retards in there who doesnt even like like they lift tell me how to live my life.
RustyhookerHigh five! Its YOUR life journey!.
That is it brother first step in the right direction regardless of bodybuilding or not.
dont make bodybuilding the focus of your life. just do it...

What? No "check your AI" comments yet? Lame. Anyways, check your AI to make sure its legit.
Disregard my response I see what you meant as scooby pointed it out. My apologies bro.
Ai comments?

I viewed his comment as a joke.I have seen the AI comment used many times in a joking manner.
You know what I just reread that and I see what you mean! Good catch I just got done saying that sometimes writing on here doesn't translate well. I would +1 you if I could much appreciated brother.
what is ai comment? ai on cycle? what i am confused?
I think what they were saying was that your post seemed a little bitch like and you may need to get your estrogen levels in check. I'm sure they were joking tho. It's all good bro
Bingo!
o ok.thought he meant something else.

AnonYou silly fukka! I've been afraid to say the "F" word!
RustyhookerOnly paraphrasing the OP's message. Lol! Other than that...I'm an equal opportunity hater. Hate everyone equally. Lol!
Once bodybuilding has you, it has you bra. There is no going back...
Get the sand outta your vagina and stop whining.. ;-)
Seriously tho, figure out what makes you happy and let the bitches come to you. You're young bro
We have all felt this way at some point in life. We doubt, we quit believing, we quit pushing forward. But at the end of the day u do whatever makes YOU happy.
