Being a bodybuilder...........being a headcase?

[YoungNJacked]

i thought about this as i am cutting down lately.......lol! for the winter when i was around or above 20% at 300+ i was really emotional and pissy all the time.........and i realized how much it sucks taking time away from the scene. i am now 290 and mid teens bf% and will eventually get down to 270 around 8% come summer, but i do the same "mind game" every year. i think it takes the fat boy winters to appreciate the summer months a whole lot more.............hahaahahahha

Agreed! I think by default all of us bodybuilders have to be head cases. If for no other reason than the desire/ability? to subject ourselves willingly to the pain and physical abuse of daily intense weight training and periodic starvation type diets. We are all f-ing nutjobs brother, which is why we gotta stick together.
Peace and good health (physical, mental, emotional, whichever one you prefer) to ya brother

yeah dude, i feel like a wreck sometimes depending on what season im in. usually in summer im a complete asshole because im really lean and tight and my ego is kickin hardcore. in winter i feel like a damn bitch because i get lazy and get fat, lol! however, i think the rest every now and then is needed. ............all for the love of the game i guess

I do the same shit...its all an emotional rollercoaster. I love to cut! I would rather look & feel better than be fat & actually enjoy my food. Gotta love summer time fellers...

This is a good post.
Never happy: either feel big fat and bloated or too light.

Everyone shold get the psychological and physical rollercoaster speech before AAS use.

what a bunch of whiney sissies, LOL.. seriously, though I have NEVER cut, I do tend to fatten/ soften up over the "winter" months, being in so-cal there isn't really a cold season, I do let the abbs and such go a ways before I get back after them, but as far a s gettin fat, I just go for the BIG look, I hate feelin all sucked up, I prefer to look full and have somekind of hardness, but 8% fuck that, you can have it, I will stay in the teens. as far as a mental case goes, well that has never been a mystery or a doubt as to how messed in the head I am..

It is that feeling of uneasiness that drives you to the next level. Any man/woman who is comfortoble is stagnent. I've never met a successful human who did not have an "itch." Our acts created via trying to scratch this itch, lets us continue to acheive betterment. However, the unfortunate downside to our successes is the fact that this itch can never be scratched. It will always bet there...knowingly or unknowingly.
