The moralities of ass and bodybuilding

[bvb69]

After seeing agains from my first use of ass. It has inspired me to diet better and train harder but it has also given me the taste to go again. This has created an moral struggle for me considering I am new to fatherhood and have gone from being double income no children to having a family and a single income. My family wants for nothing we have everthing we need to live a comfortable life, my wife is oblivious to my use of steroids as i have always maintained a high level of fitness. She noticed the other day that I have been more focused with my diet and training regime and asked "why do you want bigger muscles?" I had no real answer for her except, "its my hobby and if I'm going to workout I may as well do it properly." This got me thinking......

Is bodybuilding a selfcentred act?
Why is it so empowering?
Isn't whats on the inside not outside what defines a person?

Bodybuilding is an individual orientated sport not team orientated.
I enjoy maintaining a healthy body and looking good but this is for my ego and selfesteem not somebody elses enjoyment at looking me, to think that makes you a narcissist because you get off on the fact that people notice your body.


How do I rationalize my hobby?

I myself am not a bodybuilder, but I share alot of the same thoughts. Nothing in life is easy. Good luck and do what makes you happy (family too!)

Yes bodybuilding is a self-centerd act. And we all love it or we wouldn't do it.

It is empowering because you are changing your body for the better. You can make yourself look better than 99% of the population.

Yes what's on the inside defines a person. BUT when you have changed your outside that will also affect the person within (more self confidence etc...)

This is a great topic bro….

I personally feel absolutely no guilt for utilizing AAS. I feel as long as you use it in a manner that is “responsible” and monitor your general health (Keeping that the first priority) then why not use them.

For me BB is nearly a religion. It brings me so much satisfaction. The thing is, because of the high level of satisfaction I am a happier better person. My high confidence is apparent to most everyone I encounter. This week I have been asked if I was a bouncer, if I was a competing BB and if I was a Pro Wrestler (The kid who asked me that was 5 lol). All of the observations people made and their questions are very complimentary (to me).

I know I am rambling, but my point is that…. Yes BB can be viewed as somewhat of a selfish sport but……. The positive interaction we have with others in regards to our physical appearance can be rewarding for everyone involved.

The fact that we use gear takes nothing away from any of that. We still have to bust our ass in the gym, eat well and recover properly!!!

What a great feeling it is to stand in front of the mirror and look at oneself and say I did that, I built that muscle.

That is way I have had a vas. so I will NEVER have children. I myself have no time for kids in my life. I realized that if I would have had chosen to have kids they would have to come first in my life and I refuse to do that. So yes too me bodybuilding is self-centerd and I wouldn't change it fot the world!

bro...people who workout as hard as we do strive for perfection. we are usually the ones that go that extra mile to get sometihing we really want. it's a power thing.

also...remember that good 'ol saying..."looking good is feeling good". the better shape i'm in...the more confident i am, the better my performace in life, with my career...it's all that possitive energy from the feeling of being in excellent shape. the rewards that come with our way of life are incredible.

not to mention the amounts of hot ass i get too!

Start reading Ayn Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness". That will answer your questions. Then move on to "The Fountainhead". And Finally "Atlas Shrugged". You won't feel guilty about doing what makes you feel good, as you shouldn't. Yes, BB is a self center and selfish sport. There's nothing wrong with that.

One big thing I would like to say is that I do not consider bodybuilding to be a hobby, but a lifestyle. It is something you will do lifelong, and it affects your entire way of life.

I here what your saying but there must be a balance. Life is not just all me and my wants unfortunatly. Since having a child I have had to constantly remind myself of this. I never understood it before and thought I did, having a child changes your perspective on the life and I think finding the middle is the key no matter what situation you live in.
