Anyone gravitating away from Bodybuilding?

[GoldenDelicious]

i did that once, about....6 years ago. i was a dedicated gym guy (training 4-5 times a week) since age 15 (and tinkering with weights since 12ish) and cut a long story short, went away to uni, broke up with a girl, got depressed, and stopped training.

so i came back to my home town after turning back into a normal person (ie pointy-boobie-land, with 13 inch arms) and i was pressured into training with my old workout partner (back in the days when i used to have a workout partner...ive since left all those worthless hunks of jelly-meat behind) and so we went, adn of course, it was chest day. with him its always chest day lol. now, i had been out for a year, and had told him no more than 10 minutes earlier in the car that i didnt give a shit about training anymore, and so we get on the bench. i could only push up about 70kg (155lbs) and my 25lbs lighter training partner did a full set at 155...then went up to 165...and finally stopped at almost 200. he had never outlifted me before, and the mofo wouldnt laugh...he just smirked.

utter. humiliation.

so i said to him, laugh, you mofo, because when i get back, im going to molest you, so laugh while you can, cause youre never going to get the chance again

i worked out daily for a bit over 150 days consecutively (i used to cross them out on my calendar) and when i next came home, we went to the gym together. i warmed up on his personal best, and smirked like the Joker the whole time

dont let yourself slide too far, youll bang your head on the ground for ages when you snap out of it...but a break isnt neccessarily a bad thing

I've lived the other side of the coin: letting myself get fat, unfit and over forty.

I can't do anything about my age but I'll be damned if I'll let myself get any older without one hell of a fight.

Bro, I didn't know you were part of that most exclusive club formed by digger, Gonelifting (inclusive gonelifting's gut, RADAR and WODIN.

Cheers, bro. I can't speak for the others but there comes a point when you realise that being fit has to be forever.

I am caring less and less about working out as of late...I barely go once a week now. I'm gonna get back into just so I dont get fat..but at the same time...i really dont give a shit anymore.

I've had a body with zero flaws - didn't make me happy.

Now my body is still better than 95% of the general population, nevermind a woman my age and the number of children I have had and it all dont amount to a hill of beans.

I would give anything to have my health.

I didn't touch a weight for about 3 or 4 years in my mid twenties. I focused on career, building my house, women etc.... If you need to take a few years off thats fine. It only took me about 6 months to get back to where I was. So if you're not feelin it, fuck it for a while..

setting goals is where its at.... but for me im more focused on numbers setting PR's ....

bbing is more fun on gear but training for numbers it easier to do it natty style...

going for numbers completely changes your outlook. great post.
