Enjoy youth, buddy. It will be gone in a blink of an eye. I dread aging.
I might have a serious problem here

Then dont, lol. I'm 40 and bigger, stronger and in better shape than I have ever been. It's all a mind game, learn to control your mind, not let it control you.

Bro you're feeling that way because you are bloated and big. I was 217lbs @ 5'9" and hated it. Starting doing cardio and eating cleaner and run some Var and you'll start liking what you see in the mirror.

I have the same thought process, but with strength. I always need to have one more wheel on the bar, or squat an inch lower, or DL a fucking house. At my gym I am easily one of the top 5 strongest guys (and 3 of them above me have pro stongman cards) and I still feel weak and puny. I remember a few years ago pulling 700 for the first time, and I was actually embarrassed, not jacked. I kept thinking it should have been more, and I should have gotten there quicker. Add to that the fact that I am old enough to remember JFK, and I constantly see my time available to make gains slipping by very fast.
But then, every once in a while, I have something happen that reminds me of where I am in comparison to where I was and what others are like. Then I feel good, and I try to hold on to that feeling as long as I can.
Maybe you should stop lifting for aesthetics and become a big fat PLer like me?
Then you just need to be worried about the weight, not how you look!

I understand this but can't relate to it.
Weight is very tangible. if you can life more than yesterday -- that's progress. But ultimately, it's not that important. (To me). And bodybuilding is about sculpting the muscles, which takes more than just lifting more.
I'm a believer in the philosophy' "Train for shape, and strength will come."
I'm stronger than the average dude because I lift. But there are a million guys who can out lift me. Then again, I've never known a woman who got turned on by someone because they could bench press more than everybody else.
As Louie Simmons would say, that makes me a " pretty muscle boy. " So be it. But when it comes to what a woman wants in a man (besides money) they'll say looks, intelligence and sense of humor. I've never seen a high DL number in that requirment.
Sorry to digress.

Sorry Nelson, I couldn't resist...
Seriously, IMO there are very few men that get into extreme bodybuilding, and then going so far as to take AAS that do not have some degree of a positive self-image and self-confidence problem. Like men who jack-off, there are two kinds of BB's. Those who admit it and those who won't.

That sign sounds painful.

That's because the trainers at Gold's Gym have never shown them a deadlift.
But one thing is for sure, a girl likes to be picked up, and the DL is a great way to train for that.
