Extreme goals...

[b fold the truth]

Ever look at your dreams and goals and realize that they are extreme? Do all of your family and friends think that you are crazy for your dreams?

Was talking with a friend tonight about what I wanted to be and what my dreams were. She just looked at me like I was crazy and disturbed. I can not explain my dreams or why I train. It is not something that I can control...I just have to feed the passion.

I have EXTREME goals. Those people close to me (mother, father, sister, and Night Fly) have all had a hard time understanding that I have EXTREME goals. They all now realize that I am NOTHING without those EXTREME goals. NOTHING!!!

I want to be a freak of nature. I don't want to be a decent amateur or weigh 285. I want to be the best in the United States and compete at the Worlds...and weigh 320. EXTREME.

My goals are just full blown...and most people don't understand that...sometimes not even my closest of friends.

I'm the exact opposite. I'm more surprised at other peoples aspirations for me. I think they're absurd sometimes but then I realize I haven't put any effort in to what's expected of me so I'm unsure how successful I could be at these 'things'.


O/T, but have you looked into Epo to prevent lactic acid buildup and fatigue for your upcoming contest? I was watching Strongest Man the other night and noticed no matter how strong some of these guys are fatigue catches up to them at some point through the contest. You may want to look into it.

You shouldn't be any other way Bfold.

I always dream and always set myself goals. The day i stop dreaming is the day i stop breathing.

Whether you actually end up achieving or accomplishng those dreams is immaterial, the joy is in the adventure and the journey, not necessarily always the destination.

It's good to have goals B Fold, even if they are extreme. Generally, my goals are semi-extreme as well.

As far as BBing goes, my goals are not that similar to yours. If becoming huge was my goal, I could hit 300 easily. That's just too big for my goals and other aspects of my life.

My goals are mostly about money, comfort, and doing things for my loved ones and people close to me. I have some goals about helping others and a desire to leave a major mark on this world (maybe just a desire to be famous?).

It's never bad to have extreme goals. I actually think it's quite healthy. What are your goals for things other than strongman? Are they nearly as extreme?

I had lots of goals...which have changed. Time to put together a new plan.

I would like to graduate in May and find a job working with people...in a human resource dept somewhere other than where I am located now. Somewhere very pretty with a lot more to do. I would like to someday own my own hardcore gym and be a trainer also.

I'd like to have a good-sized house, garage, small personal gym, wife, dogs, horses, etc...

I'm thinking more like a mansion, 40 cars, a race track around my property, indoor/outdoor pool, jacuzzi, personal gym, a shooting range and 200 guns, pounds of chronic.

I wouldnt leave my property unless I felt like shopping, clubbing, vacations, or I had to for business or work related reasons. If I was rich and had a month off, best believe I'd just be working out, screwing, eating, sleeping, havin fun, and smoking weed.

If that stuff doesnt work out, a nice house, a few cars, and a good family would work.

My goals are high, my motivation is low... I have no doubt I can achieve my goals if I get my motivaiton up... no doubt in my mind. I just need that spark...

B fold,

Thats awesome man.

I dream big too. REALLY BIG. I love it. It sustains me. I realise my goals are extreme. But I also beleive, given time and effort, I can achieve them - God willing.

My problem is sharing my dreams with others. I dont. Ive read some of your posts, and Im similar to you in the respect Im very sensitive. I pick up on peoples verbal and physical nuances which usually reflect their true feelings. Im finding out people are extremely perceptive if they dont use their shield. Sometimes I find the intensity of human interaction overwhelming.

Its crazy. But Im progressing in the right direction.

my goal body wise is pretty simple: to have a six-pack.

in life I want a house with a garage (my offer was accepted, I am going to the house inspection tomorrow, planned move-in beg. of Dec.), and a happy marriage to a beautiful wife. Ideally I would like kids but if my special lady doesn't that's ok.

A good job (already got it), maybe do some racing, go see a NASCAR race, have a motorcycle, have some money to play with.

I guess the only thing I have to work on is the special lady.

To wit: I am having dinner tonight with some cute British chicks with Phds

hmm.....
