now this is really embarrassing...

[Flexmaster]

been completely(not even protien shakes) natty for about 6 months now i think. i got a new digital camera for my birthday so i thought i'd show y'all what a real peice of shit natty looks like. basically i've been real tired of the lifestyle, and life has kind of gotten in the way so i have really had to tae a break from lifting/eating correctly. i took this today, weighed 188.2 at the gym today. damn i feel tiny now.LOL oh well, i guess sometimes you just need to have your priorities in order.

(p.s. like my 15 2/3" arms.LMFAO)

I feel ya bro. I've been all natural for about 4 months now and the first two were a total mind fuck for me, but I've realized that I haven't lost too much, and most of it was fat and bloat. Your probably in the same boat bro. Don't let it get you down. However, I just started taking anavar at 60mg per day, not doing too much, so I'm gonna take some winny at 75mg per day once I get it. I guess the moral of the story is that I don't want to be TOTALLY off!! LMAO!!

Heres one of me a couple weeks ago, natty bo batty sumbitch, and it sucks!! bout 225. aarrgh!

I hear ya flex, the lifestyle is consuming and sometimes you have to knock it down a notch on your list of priorities before you miss out on other great aspects in life........Like taking your girl out and having fun without worrying about eating low carbs while out.lol

You all still look great.

Big Bump to Cyphon guys, its all about living your life. You guys are still in great shape so don't worry about it. IMO the supps are what makes me stay strict and go the extra mile. It tends to be easier for me to slack on diet and gym when I am not on supps.

thats exactly it brotha', i dont want to devote my entire life to building my body. its really hard sometimes, especially knowing that about 3/4 of the guys i know from both my gyms(the one i work at and the one i train at) are using. it's not like i couldn't if i wanted to either...i could statrt again tommorrow and be on for 2 years non stop using 1g+ of multiple aas.LOL

I havent done a heavy cycle since 2000. I have done 3 small cycles of var and winny in the last 5 years. from 1996-early 2000 I was consumed by the lifestyle. I would eat perfect, package all my meals for work hit the gym and go to school.

I had a hot ass girlfriend at the time and I didnt feel like I had room in my life for her because she always wanted to go to the movies, dinner, dancing.........All I kept thinking was "Shit I cant take her anywhere....it will fuck up my diet and sleep" lol.

Needless to say I dumped her so that I could be more self absorbed.......

Somewhere along the line you have to establish balance between your personal life and the hobbies/lifestyle you choose.

One final point. Unless your persuing to go pro or do something like modeling it's not neccesary to over achieve in this lifestyle. Most guys do it for the ladies........this can make you do crazy things.lol


I lift weights and use my supps........but if I miss a meal or a day of training I dont sweat it.

Damn, 188? We were weighing in about the same earlier though you are far leaner than I am. Maybe this might help you... You know that I could never become a competing bodybuilder, and I don't think I want to be one. I do, however want to look as good as I can and maybe be as big as I can possibly get. That said, however, I also know that I don't need to beat myself up about it. I do have a goal in mind, but I also know that isn't the only thing in my life. I learned how to prioritize bodybuilding into my life while still having time to enjoy my wife, career, hobbies, etc.

Maybe when you decide start up again, don't make it your only focus. Enjoy the results you get. I hope I'm making sense because it is hard to explain. I guess simply put, don't forget to stop and look up every once in a while.

 

[Bignick]

im stuck...im absorbed....i need help...do any of you guys have a helpline i can call?

 

[tilla52]

yea get me that number I need it too!!!!

 

[optimalbalance]

Go back about 5 years and count your progress. It takes time and always remember it takes even more time the bigger you get.

 

[Flav]

Feel ya here bro.
Im in the same situation with g/f, school, and work.
GOtta make time whenevr ya can.

 

[dirtyleg]

yo cyphon I feel ya on that one, I was doing the same thing, and not to sound too much like a pussy, but I lost her and it sucked for a loooong time, but ya know you do have to remember there was a reason you were so serious about the lifestyle......... I don't know what the hell that is really suppossed to mean, but thought I would throw it in there

 

[mongrel]

I think u gotta realize how important that people u have around u are.
U gotta find a balance in your life that includes working out but still includes keeping your relationships in tact

Flex – you look great. Hope your feeling better….

Peace-out.

LOL, I never thought of it that way. It does sound like that, but hey, we watch out for each other. Flex, you do still look amazing.

 

[gypsymoth]

Is it an 800 number? LOL

 

[Flexmaster]

when you guys talk arm measurements are we talking flexed or not

flexed and cold (unpumped)

 

[dreww]

I get tired of the routine, but not the lifestyle. I may slack a little but my goal is in mind. You guys still look good. Just remember it would take years to get back to the "old" you just like it took years to get where u r now.
