Been debating this for a while but after my shoulder tear and what I believe to be a tendon tear in the same arm its time to hang up the thoughts of competitive bodybuilding. I'm still gonna train but just enjoy life a bit more and relax. I am disappointed but at the same time I have earned ALOT of injuries. I have moved some very heavy weight but its just not worth it.

Tami and I want to have kids eventually. I dont want to be a run down parent. :)

So I officially am retiring from bodybuilding which was short lived. I think had I not damaged myself so much with powerlifting it would be a different story.
 
I left competitive PLing a few years ago too. And for the same reasons. If you read Dave Tate's story, it's really inspiring to not be like him.

B-
 
Honestly bro by the little I know about you and think you have nothing else to proof. You are huge, strong and ripped! Other than that i can only wish the best of luck to you, Tami and your future family.

In my country there's a saying that roughly translated means "Some bad things happen in order to a greater good take place"

Enjoy life :)
 
I'm another one of those that decided to roll with the punches. No major injury, but turning 50 and several nagging impingements took the fun out.

On the plus side, you get to reassess the quality of your life. Take the time to heal yourself up and find a way to stay strong. When one door closes another opens...

a respectful thing to do.

i must say though not to discourage you just a heads up. losing size knowing you are not going to get it back plays funny tricks on you. or at least it has to me. stay focused on whats important to you and you will get used to it.

good luck
 
Well I am still gonna be my own special mutant but competing has no appeal. I dont have the genes for it. And my joints are whipped. Just gonna have fun and be healthy.
 
on a positive note, I am one year post op on a torn supraspinatus and labrum and am benching and pressing more than I was before so these injuries don't always have to be career ending. I respect your decision though, I couldn't stand the dieting.
 
I like what one person said about improving the quality of your life. You are a monster, and your heart probably goes through a lot moving you around, so how about about run more, eat good things for the heart. I know you probably already do but since your main goal isnt to be as big as possibly anymore, shift your goal to something else and really stick to it. Visualize what you want to look like and how healthy you want to be, and do it.

Future is a damn good bro. I have liked him since the day we started talking. I have loved him and his wife. I closed his account for him because as a friend he asked me to. I support him at all times with anything he wants to do.

He fits right in with the ef community and so does tami. So future knows the second he changes his mind and wants to pick up where he left of as a member I will be here to turn his account back on.

We are still friends and I am always there for him. He's been a good guy to have around and talk to. I wish him the best in anything he does... I'll help him out any time he needs it.
 
Well, he can still read what we say even if he's not active to post. That said, you have the respect of the EF community for sure. I'm relatively new here and I know you have that respect and seems you always will. Interestingly I started lifting again for the same reason you are stopping your charge to compete. I WAS a broken down parent. Lifting has restored me to the ability to enjoy my children. 3 years ago I had 2 bulging discs in my back. I was laid up for weeks. At the same time my second child was due any day and my very pregnant wife was taking care of me and our daughter. I stood in the delivery room eating Vicadin like pez so I could stand to be there. I couldn't lift my son in and out of his crib for months after he was born. All of that because I wasn't taking care of myself. Fast forward 3 years and I can pick my kids both up over my head at the same time and swing them around like a father should. My goal is to be healthy and a good father. If I can reach an old goal of looking better in the process then so be it but it's not my main focus. I would love to have a guy like you around here to go to for advice in my quest though.

Best of luck in whatever you do bro.

I wish I could say the same but sadly I do not feel the same way. Future never even responded to my PM's, profile comments or even my friend request on youtube.
 
Def. a good bro and it would be a loss to the site.
