I just wanted to look like Arnold, 20 years later I'm still trying, just that these days I'm a bit more realistic about the likely hood of success.
Because its your dog...A guy I worked with was big, I mean really big at 100+kg and resasonable lean. Until then I was happy being a 57kg totally awesome dude like this:
Still I don't think Im hooked, I can quit anytime...

I’m not now and never was hooked on bodybuilding, or even Olympic weightlifting for that matter, my addiction is the iron itself!What got you hooked?

Even after 34 years of training with weights, I would not and could not say that a particular person has gotten me hooked at a particular moment in time. Sure, I was asked to lift an Olympic weightlifting bar at 15 by the person who became my weightlifting coach, but he was merely the person who introduced me to the weights (literally speaking). However I can honestly say that I'm hooked on the weights in and of themselves. The weights have become my trusted friends over the years, and a wonderful tool that when respected and used properly, can become an extension of you, a positive partner that adds quality to your life.
Fadi.
I'm still not convinced that it's this fountain of youth, health or this magic tonic, found that it helps with bone density, mobility, strength and keeps the skin looking young.
but on the flip side, joints hurt, body is often fighting inflammation, flexibility is sacrificed, large volumes of food are consumed, body is subject to fluctuations in weight, heart has to pump a longer distance, comfort is sacrificed, cramps occur and daily little niggles related to heavy lifting.
so I don't think it's just a one way ticket in the positive direction, has pros and cons.
Having said that, I don't plan to quit until they nail my coffin, might even get them to throw a dumbell in there with me.
, getting your ego in check.
With you on this one mate. Perhaps it's coz I'm older too that I can relate to all of the above.
Mind of a 25 yo body of a 38 yo type thing?
Still able to lift chit with the younger kids coming through but my rebound is just not what it used to be so even with the odd day off and R&R, my body feels it more for longer than it used to.
I'm refering to trying to lift the heaivest, eating the most, having the longest training sessions, etc. Almost like some people are trying really hard to prove something to others. Listening to your body and sometimes backing off will have its benefits.Have you gone mad???
