Is anyone else seriously addicted to the gym?

[Jon79]

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

yeah i feel the same way bro!

no high in the world like fucking deadlifts.

but, at the same time, i think you gotta maintain balance always. life's a constant balancing act, but yeah man its great to get your high from something rewarding and constructive, carries over into other parts of your life.

but i also know guys who are so addicted to the gym that they have no personal/social life outside of it which is ironic becuase isn't that the whole point of looking good?

but yeah its' like anything else, dont' use it as an excuse to not do things that are fun and life enriching outside the gym.

kudos!

yea i have a social life though. Althogh i do spend alot of time alone because all i have really met around here (i moved here 3 months ago) are ppl that are into drugs and no drive...

the best thing is seeing ppl that have not seen you in 6 month and you have dropped bodyfat and put on lean mass....compliments keep u goin

How funny, my training buddy and I were talking about how we were both completely obsessed by bodybuilding last night.

The trainers in the gym are always completely amused when we finish training and come out to the entrance and start taking all of our pills and powders (BCAAs and creatine right after training)

I hear ya bro, I'm the same way. It sorta looks like ur a loser if you're there TOO much though. It goes both ways.

Haha, I missed a workout on Wednesday because I was sick, when I got to the gym on Thursday, I was asked by two of the gym employees if everything was ok, since they hadn't seen me the day before. Maybe I should take some time off.
