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

Im addicted to juicing I can tell you that lol...I only cycle once per year before summer 10-15 week cycles...knowing your on is so much more motivational...but i hear ya bro, if i dont get to the gym im not a pleasant person to be around just keeps me happy...i still like to "party" though lol...i do everything excessively 
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

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.
i wish i had the same enthusiasm for the gym as i used to--now it is more that i want to be able to participate in other sports with the strength and recouperative abilities i had 15 years ago...

It just becomes part of your life.
Not really a addiction but more of just who you are.
For me it's a escape from the world.
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.

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

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!!

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 !Jon79 said:

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

I'm definately addicted to the gym and training. I hate the dieting and eating that goes with bodybuilding, but I've always loved training and look forward to every workout...including leg day!!..lol
I think the gym has given me some kind of purpose in life and something to focus on. Although having said that, the gym I'm at now isn't really a bodybuilders gym (has good equipment though) so I don't have a lot in common with a lot of the peeps there....nearly all of which are members of the bicep brigade and are more concerned about how their hair looks or what outfit to wear.
TBH, I've never been into partying or getting wasted. My brother was a heroin addicted since he was 15 (26 now) and it ruined a lot of the earlier years of his and my family's lives. So I've seen the effects the drink and recreation drug culture has.
Trouble is 90% of the guys around my age group live to go out and get smashed on weekends and just talk sh*t all the time...e.g: how fast they can drive in their car, what girl they pulled last weekend.
It's like the normal thing to do these days. So it's difficult for me to find something in common with most people my age.
I've always been kind of an outsider in that respect, a loner you could say. So yes, I would say I'm addicted to the gym. The focus and determination it has given me has kept me relatively sane in this crazy world.
Bodybuilding is definately an extreme sport which suits me perfectly as I'm f*ckin nuts anyway.
