How do you guys have time for...

[Dar91]

relationships?

Honestly, between work, eating, lifting, and sleeping, where is the time. I spend a minimum 8 hrs working, come home get cleaned up and eat. I then go to the gym, come home, eat again. By this point its 10:00pm, so I just relax and go to sleep since I need a minimum 7hrs of sleep for muscle recovery.

I figure Id have time on my 2 days off(from the gym), but I still have to eat at a regular schedule, and probably sat and sunday nights to go out with a girl, but you know how it is... They want to see you more, or they want you to skip meals, or go out partying, or stay up later.


How many of you serious bodybuilders have good relationships?

have to set your priorities and make sure you fit everything into your schedule. Some just stay single and others can handle it. I have had a gf for 4 years now and she works out at the same gym, I see her about 2 nights during the week for a couple hours and then on the weekends. My girl knows how serious lifting is, its a lifestyle, either she will accept it or she wont.

its getting old pretty fast w/ my wife. i've been lifting seriously for about 4 years now and between work and the gym... she gets next to no time. i feel bad because i love her.... but i also love the gym and my body. we have a beautiful daughter and another due in sept. i try to sacrifice what i can at the gym but i find myself miserable when not in there for a couple days. it sucks to feel guilty going to the gym.... feel like i'm cheating on her sometimes... sheesh.

I haven't had a serious relationship since i started juicing (2 years 8months ago). I broke up with my then g/f cuz she disagreed with wot i was doin. But at the end of the day u gotta have ur priorities straight. If ur lucky u'll find a girl who can accept wot u do and she'll understand that u can't spend every minute of every day with her.

pumping iron, it does happen and Im lucky to have one. My girl was with on my first cycle and I told her up front, and guess what, she is still with me and we are an awesome couple.

she talked me into letting her stick me once, never again. I must have pissed her off that day.

what's a relationship?

 

[Beezers]

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I simply couldn't imagine being in a relationship right now unless my chicklett was a gym rat and fitness enthusiast as well. Most chicks don't understand bodybuilding so it's a lost cause trying to explain to them why you can't go out on saturday night because it was leg day and you can't walk and you need your 10 hours of sleep to grow. They always counter with the "grow what?" response. I have yet to meet a girl who will eat 10 meals a day with me or at least join me for brown rice, tuna, and falx oil at meal#7. The ironic thing is they always appraoch me and then when they find out what makes Beezers look so damn HOT they go running for the hills Bottom line is I don't have time for it. I need my sleep and my food. I don't miss meals or dates with the squat rack. Weights before dates. Perhaps I take it too far...but then again, that's the stuff that makes Beezers so damn HOT.
