is a bb'ers life boring??

[satchboogie]

i was watching jay cutlers dvd.
the dude sleeps 8-9 hours a night, and another 3-4 during the day.

he trains 2x per day.
and eats in between.

that leaves not much room for else.

sounds kinda like my life.. lol

 

[jay1]

Must be nice.

 

[satchboogie]

i suppose when youre locked in on the life, it becomes a routine.
sleep, eat, train, sleep.\

 

[RADAR]

Mine sure isn't

[concordsize]

satch you gotta remember its his job. It is a necessity for him to live like this, his family is dependant on it. Now for guys like myself who are someone being controled by bbing i feel it is some what unhealthy. We need to find balance. And that is also the thing that stays in the back of our mind. We know that to be 100% into the game we must live like Jay. Going out and all that shit is only creating a catabolic enviorment. It is double edged for sure!

It's does become a routine and sometimes I do get a little bored of it, but usually I love it. I definitely have to make sacrifices but I wouldn't actually call myself a bodybuilder. I mean, I don't compete or anything but I do take it pretty seriously. (I guess you don't have to compete to be a bodybuilder though)

I can't party as much, that's for sure.

 

[marqui77]

His lifestyle is extreme and very boring, but most proffesional athletes are so focused on one goal that thier life centers solely around thier sport. He so driven to succeed that he forgoes everthing else in life, I guess its teh price you pay for greatness. I think bodybuilding attracts alot of extreme personalities, most of us are a bit obessive about our bodies. Some people push everything out of thier life that interfers with thier goals, on the other side of the coin you have the guys who are living life in the fast lane, parting hard living life on the edge. I think most of us fall in between, but still have bit of obsessivness about our bodies, sports, fitness or what ever your reason for training.

I agree, so then the question is…

Which would you rather be:

• Champion Professional Bodybuilder
• Starting Quarterback for an NFL team
• Singer or guitar player for a famous Rock-n-Roll band

As much as I love bodybuilding, and as cool as it would be to be an NFL quarterback, I believe Dire Straits said it best: That ain't workin', that's the way you do it… Money for nothin'...

I would choose C

 

[Apexx]

If you're at that level, you obviously LOVE the sport. So to him and those like him, doing that is the greatest and most exciting thing in the world.

Now, to someone like myself, yes that seams kinda boring.

the answer is:

WHICHEVER SCORES HOT PUSSY EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
IF IT MEANS COLLECTING TRASH THEN THATS WHERE ILL BE...

 

[benevolent anarchist]

I’m with you on that. I’m a lover, not a fighter.

 

[satchboogie]

lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tiger88]

lol @ this thread

some bbers are huge party animals like cromier etc...some have wife and kids live the american dream like johnny jackson.. but i can see how being bored could come into play

Thats the ticket right there Satch nailed it.

 

[sandman_007]

sounds like me, except i sleep a bit less than 12 hours..heh

 

[shamrock11]

I believe it can be boring, but that all depneds on how much you love the game.

 

[courtneybcca]

sounds like my life right now and I am enjoying it every minute of it.. I wish that I could keep it this way... now I just need to find someone that enjoys having sex and training equally..

 

[Slydog]

sounds like my life right now and I am enjoying it every minute of it.. I wish that I could keep it this way... now I just need to find someone that enjoys having sex and training equally..

I would like to go on record saying that I love sex and I love to train. So if your looking for candidates I would like to add my name to the list.

But seriously it is hard to find someone who is understanding and or enjoys our lifestyle.
Honey could you make me 8 egg whites a bowl of oatmeal with Flax oil and oh yeah set up 3ius of growth for me. Thanx "yeah......right....." lol

 

[borg4902]

Man I think most of us are in this same boat. Its really hard to be in a relationship especially when you compete. My last girl hung with me on diet and training but she drank so damned much it became a huge problem. I loved the girl but I cant be up all night worried when I am on a strict training schedule. Probly sonds real stupid to most people but since I dint drink it was very frustrating. I guess thats what most college kids do. I definitally regret it at times.

 

[Themachine01]

I go back and forth. While Im cutting and preparing for a photoshoot I tend to have that lifestyle for the entire 16-20 weeks. That is why I take it easy for the following few months and take time out to enjoy that other parts of life. I only send about 10-12 weeks being very strict with bulking up and the rest of the time I tend to find a balance between the bodybuilder lifestyle and a regular lifestyle. I have a wonderful fiance and she is very understanding when it comes to my lifestyle, but even though I might find it very appealing and satisfying when spending 90% of my time eating, sleeping, and training, it can have an affect on her life. That is why the rest of the year I take time out to spoil her by taking her out to dinner once or twice a week, taking weekend trips and not having to constantly worry about when my next meal is or where the closest gym is so I can train. Im sure there are a few of you that know what Im talking about. You need to find a balance unless you plan on making a career out of this.

 

[courtneybcca]

NONO... I have a even better story.. the last comp that I trained for my boyfriend at the time was SO JEALOUS about the attention that I was getting and was upset that I was lossing weight, that he would put chocolate all over the house.. he would bring home fast food.. pizza etc etc and try to eat it in front of me making noises and shit to piss me off... WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!!! men don't understand this lifestyle either... And every guy claims they want a model.. that they want everyone looking at there girl etc... but as soon as they get one they get so jealous they can't stand it...

 

[borg4902]

Wow thats messed up!!!! I told my ex if I ever saw her eat cheese dip in front of me id puke... There are like 7 girls in my town that work out and the majority of them only do it so they can drink more and still be skinny...

 

[benevolent anarchist]

{snip} And every guy claims they want a model.. that they want everyone looking at there girl etc... but as soon as they get one they get so jealous they can't stand it...

Come on, Courtney. Talk about a generalization. Every guy? You don’t think that maybe this fellow was a tad bit insecure, do you? LOL.

Anyway… my wife decided that is was much easier to join me, and so she has. She is 17 years younger than I am, and has a shape, figure and face that has landed her modeling gigs in department store catalogs. By her looks you would think that she is in perfect shape yet I was wearing her out. Now we train and eat together, as a team. She gives me my glute injections… we’re one happy family.

 

[Themachine01]

my fiance isnt really into training all that much, but she does have a good diet and doesnt eat bad. She does cardio with me when im dieting which is a big help and she makes sure there is no junk food in the house for me to get my hands on. I never get on her case about training more, mainly because I like to think of it as my thing, there is no need for a couple to do everything together.

 

[Bruce]

take it from arnold, i mean radar. how the hell can it be boring to eat good food all day, hit the weights and get an unreal pump. then hopefully for most have sex and eat some more. i don't plan on doing it for a living but am quite aware of how enjoyable i find the lifestyle as my last year of college was essentially bodybuilding and going to class a few times here and there. but hey if any u bbers need a lawyer when i finish the bar i got u. just don't tell em where you met me

Yeah I am generalizing but that has been my experience... You are very lucky that you have a partnership like this!!

And machine the person doesn't have to do it with me just be supportive.. that is all I want...

 

[Bruce]

courtney i would never do that to u. i'd eat bread and water for you sexy

Man! What a bobo! Courtney, your beautiful! Some guys just don't understand how good they've got it!

 

[benevolent anarchist]

Talk about a perfect relationship!

Nothing is perfect in life, but we both work very hard at trying to keep it that way.

I will say this; she takes marriage very seriously and believes very strongly in taking care of me; making sure that I am fed and cared for. Also we were good friends for many years before we started dating and this gave us a lot of time to talk out what we both wanted out of a marriage, and believe me when I tell you that we discussed everything. Who is expected to do this, who is expected to do that; who gets the final say when there is a deadlock, you name it, we talked about it. And we did all of this before we got married so that there would be no surprises.

My question is how in the HELL does his wife put up with this shit? She aint gonna get no kids from him, she has to go to the gym and spot him to get some QT. Then they come home and she cooks for him. I don't know about ya'll but my girl can get downright PO'd at any moment b/c of the dedication/time restraints this lifestyle can put on a relationship...And I don't care how much in love you are it's gotta be tough

I agree. I think to be a great, or even good BB, you have to have some degree of OCB(Obsessive Compulsive Behavior). What else would you call when you eat balanced clean meals every 2 hours, train 5 days a week and do cardio 6 days a week, constantly posing in the mirror(at home of course! ), and always asking your training partner "bro, do I look any bigger?". Well, I love it.

Thats a great question you point out. I'd love to hear his wife's side of the story. Does she appear in his DVD anyone? I've yet to view it...

Jay's been with his wife since they were 18! I don't think she minds. She has her own life too. She's a nurse. If you see Jay at a convention he's rarely with her. Nobody knows for sure, but it appears there's no problems. Especially considering the phat life BB has given them.

hey, she married him and he was that way too. I am sure he didnt change his lifestyle that much since they first met. People cannot complain when the put themselves into a situation.

Yea but money doesn't buy happines,
Yes she is in the videos--cooking and spotting him...
I don't know them at all, all I know is that it's HIS life not hers that is important obviously. I mean, Jay better be giving giving and giving some more to her, question is when and how does he get time to do those types of things with his lifestyle

 

[theoak01]

I wouldnt say boring but it sure is routine

for me I sleep all day from about 9am until 4 or 5, wake up eat a few times,maybe even wake up during the day eat then back to bed, hit the gym,come home shower,make my lunch, go out with a friend,maybe grab coffee,watch a movie,and then work from 12am until 830ish and start over.

I find this is a great schedule for me as during they day all my buddies work so im not missing out on anything there,then I wake up as they get off work,and me and my training partner hit the gym,and then I can hang out with whoever I want before work,and just as Im heading to work they are heading to bed because they work the next day

Your kidding right? Thats probably every guy on this board.LOL Except for me on Thursday Fridays and half of Saturday when I have my daughter. Of course I did have a pretty good back workout just doing chin ups and pullups at the park today.LOL

Personally I couldnt do it. His life is also controlled by injections which is the part I just couldnt handle. I can do the eating part, lifting, and resting but thats as far as I could bring it. Like I said having a daughter and I would feel like too much of a shit bag if I had to sneak off into the bathroom just to take an injection of something.

Dude I live in Miami,Fl and only 22 years old and tell you is hard. Personally I stop drinking about 3 years ago I focus more on sports and lifting. Sometimes my boys and my ex would be your like an old man how come you dont drink etc... I tell them I do but only on special occasions usually new years and my b day which is coming up( still debating of drinking or not). I started drinking at age 14 in high school non stop. Personally I prefer to be in football game busting heads or in mat fighting then getting pissed drunk at a bar and I love lifting. Another thing though thats this guys job and needs to make a living just like other athletes do!

 

[satchboogie]

well..

cutler daily routine, is pretty much typical of most professional bb'ers.

Pretty insecure. Guy should grow up a bit. Geez, it's not like you're the hottest girl on the planet... Or maybe he can't get anyone cuter than you.
