never satisfied

[Satva1100]

is it normal that im never satisfied with my gains? does this happen to alot of you? when i started working out i was 6' 162lbs now im 226lbs and i feel like i havent gained anything. and i still feel like i look skinny. WTF is this all in my head? whats a good weight for 6 feet? im 16% bodyfat and that was all natural gains, i just started my first cycle last week. im hoping to get to 250lbs by the end of my cycle.

Not really a bad thing, unless you're consumed by it.

It's a good thing to set, achieve, and set new goals, keep reaching higher...and that goes for everything in life...

You gotta find that zone where you're happy with what you've accomplished but you want that next level....

 

[bluetoolpaul]

I'm kind of the same way, but you'll eventually hit a happy medium. Funny, I always say "just 5-10 more pds and then i'll stop there"

6' and 226 is definitely not small though dude. if you got ur bf down to 10-12 % you'll look like a beast!!

 

[natecr]

hah hit up your first cycle and tell us how you feel when your done..

 

[burnthiscorpse]

I am 6'0 250 right now. around your BF%. I used to be 170 also. In genetic size and stature i'm a fairly large person. But I dont see what others see. I see what I perceive to be small. My wife and friends are always commenting that i'm not small by any means. but it makes no difference. If i am in really good shape at the time I will cop to looking good. But never big enough. I think its a BB'ers desease.

you know when you see someone all the time you dont see the physical changes in them. then a friend whos been away for a while and says wow that bitch got fat as hell. well kinda the same thing. not saying anyones fat. just givin an example but you see yourself all the time so you really cant see 100% of the gains as others see. understand

 

[Varga]

I kind was like all of you not too long ago...couldnt be big enough. Gain gain gain and gain some more
I'm 6 ft and 260 now and I think I hit my happy medium. I've been told by few ppl that I'm a monster in the gym and that's good enough for me to stop going crazy with my weight.
If it happens to gain another 10lbs that;s fine but I don't want to go past 270...That's where I draw the line
I pretty much maxed out every machine in the gym, the only thing I have left is the free weights but I don't want to get bored and pound the same squat, bench, dead routine crap day in and day out. That;s just me

 

[sweed]

you'll never be too big! haha
skinny fat is a term often used. when i was 250+ at 6'2" people thought I was a monster, so I'm sure at 6' you are a fkkin hulk! haha. I can't wait to do a 2nd cycle!! ahhh killing meee!!!

Bro, it sounds like you are doing pretty well...I think many of us start to feel the gains and love every minute of it. It can be intoxicating..I know I had a problem for quite a bit (and I still struggle with) never feeling "content". It isn't easy my man but keep it in perspective.

 

[natecr]

you need a 12 week test and deca cycle. then youll shut up haha

Haha...I hear you meat head..lol
Dude, how do you manage the food intake, do you have a fast metabolism? I have to eat 5-6X a day every fuck in day minimum without exception it's crazy...the food bill is prob more expensive than the juice at this point

This is me - I am 6'1 245 about 16% bf... Dont feel like I am big at all... Once I continue to drop that bf, to say 10-12%, I bet I feel a lot better..........


Take that cycle and let us know how you feel!

 

[swole]

every time i see positive changes in my physique i feel it opens up new doors of potential

then i strive to reach another short term goal (like bigger rear delts, more defined quads, bigger tris, etc)

once i do it's onto the next, repeat, etc

you'll never stop unless other things take priority in your life

it's a good thing as long as you remain balanced and realize what is truly important to you

 

[C Manson]

im 6.5,235lbs and 10% bf...

wen i look in the mirror i see an skinny kid with crappy definition and a pale tan lmao....this shit really pisses me off...people always tell me i look great but i convince my self there just saying it to make me feel better...my girl even wants me to take it easy cos shes says im too big for her lol.....this truly is a mental condition in my eyes.

Great advice here Swole.

 

[OMEGA]

is it normal that im never satisfied with my gains?

Yes lol

but there comes a point to where you have to do things that allow you to objectively look at your self.

hard copy pics taken over time will once and for all allow you to see how much you have changed and will finally satisfy you or at least remove MOST of the ancy doubt feeling of not accomplishing much

AWSOME perspective from a wise man right there

 

[burnthiscorpse]

I think "content" is the key word. whether you are or arent.


personally, I'm all set, countdown has begun, between tomorrow and this weekend it begins. Test E/test Prop/EQ. First time with the latter two.

This thread reminds me of my first day at the gym over 35 yrs ago, i was barely doing 65 lb barbell presses, man i so wanted to be able to slap those 45's on the bar, i worked & worked,then one day it happened, I did 2 reps, then 7 reps, once i was able to do 20 reps, I set mt goals for that 185, then i longed for the day i could press 225,then it was 315 after that the rest was history.

[gixxerman]

yeah man..im kind of in the same boat..well i mean..im always happy with my gains..but i always say just 5-10 more lbs to my phsique and i will be happy..and once i get it...i do it again. I'm never satisfied with where my weights at and I ALWAYS want to be bigger and more ripped..which is a good thing..i think, lol. When i stared lifting about 5 years ago...i weighed 122...now i weigh 198. I always told myself that I would be super happy when i got to the 185 lb mark..for some reason that number just stuck in my head...and now i look back and im like damn..i was small at 185..and now look at myself and wanna be wayyyy bigger....i guess its an obsession...but its constant improvements that i want to see!

 

[C Manson]

i feel like the more i look at myself or think about gains...the smaller and skinnier i become.
now i just forget about it and i know if my diet is perfect and my training is intense i have to be getting somewhere....this seems to work..
