Is anyone else seriously addicted to the gym?

[nzrodney]

Signs of addiction:

1) Physical Dependency: check (obviously)
2) Psychological Dependency: check (feel like shit emotionally, withdrawl symptoms)
3) Affects Work: check (I have gone in late due to workouts, taken long lunches, called in sick)
4) Interferes With Personal Relationships: check (skipped out on family functions, lied to spouse about time at gym, chosen gym first)

etc
etc
etc

like arnold said a pump is better then cumming (and im not saying I agree with that)

but if I see someone seriously in the gym non stop id never consider them a loser at all, I consider a guy that cant stop going to casinos or strtip clubs or cant stop smoking crack a loser not a dedicated gym goer.

My mp3 player cranked full volume up, the weight in my hands, the music in my head, the blood rushing into my muscles,the sweat pouring off my face
It feels so good. No place I would rather be.

I hear you brother! I love cranking my iPOD, gets me all sorts of jacked up. One of the gym employees asked me to turn down my headphones because they were too loud...of course, with a question like that it didnt deserve a response.

It feels good working out in my gym...no one trains harder than i do. I always see how shocked people are that im sweating so profusely by just lifting weights alone. Although, it is a gym aimed at the older women crowd, but its always a nice feeling being the most hardcore guy there!!

It feels fucking great to be addicted to something other than partying and drugs......

i seriously look forward to going each day.

all the girls that work there laugh at me bc im always there lol fuck em

Well it depends on who's eyes your looking threw. i was addicted to some terrible shit years ago, for a 13 yr period, so now my wife looks as that Trait as Negative with anything i do To the extreme. I can understand that though, it kinda drives me a little nuts always feeling like if i miss a Gym setion that it's the end of the world, on top of that i feel different about progress everyday..Some days happy, some days don't think im doing well enough ! THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO LOOSE !

yes, i am addicted....no doubt about it. shit, i'm going mental as a write this because i decided yesterday that i wasn't going to workout today....6 days in a row IS counterproductive (for me, everyone is different)

but it sure beats shooting coke and heroin, that is a past life that i hope to never repeat

i think my indifference to the gym is the type i go to now---in the olden days, i went to gyms that had the name "barbell" in the name or was owned by some old crusty bastard who smoked a cheap cigar---now my gym has a climbing wall--wtf?

the last time i did dead lifts some twerp said "dude, what sort of exercise is that --you r gunna hurt your back"......i almost said i have been doing these since before you were born--but then it hit me--it was true

addicted as fuck. i lift 5 days a week, do cardio 4 days a week, and only take 1 day completely off. during that day, i find myself waking up naked in the back of alleys or in the woods....blood spatters around my mouth. it was a little weird at first, but i've gotten used to it.

All the gyms in my town are the new age, fancy, high budget versions of Golds, Bally's, etc. I almost think that serious bodybuilding is frowned upon here.

When I lived at the beach I worked out in a private local gym that use to be a 7-Eleven! No shit, but it was hardcore to the max. Lots of powerlifters and bodybuilders on gear. Now I work out with a bunch of clueless skinny punks. I stick out like a sore thumb and I like it. lol
