When you say he could lose interest do you mean in me specifically or in sex? We normally do that a lot lol but we haven't been... but we also were at each other's throats...
we took a week break to unwind and be apart and actually seems like we both miss each other a lot... and he was starting to contact me more again... but actually his steroid distributor thought we broke up and asked me out (geezus) so I told him bc I felt like it would be wrong if I didn't? He says he isn't mad at me just mad at the situation...... but he is being short with me and going back to not even talking to me except to ask what he said? Oye vey!!!! You men are so complicated!!!! Lol
Sounds like he is on Tren and Masteron. Both tend to make people short and impatient. Being impatient and short tempered is a sign of a few things:
1) he is probably dealing with a fear of failure regarding this prep and contest
2) he isn't unwinding and doing things that he enjoys doing outside of bodybuilding
3) he isny cycling properly and probably not supplementing with proper items to not only stay healthy but to also keep stress at bay and mood up.
------------------------
As a bodybuilder, especially the last 3-6 weeks, you've GOT TO be responsible for your behavior and not let the circumstances of competing and prepping become an excuse for disconnecting and being apathetic to people you should be connecting with. It takes intentionality to keep ALL significant relationships in healthy condition while prepping for a show. Trust me. Being whiddled down to 6% BF and prepping for 24 weeks straight, I've learned to take care of myself and keep my supplementation adequate and regular to keep my personality normal. A few things that I do:
Perpetually run Red Vein Kratom's throughout the day lol
Keep blood pressure down by taking garlic extract, nattokinase and drinking lots of water. Lots of it.
Avoid negative talk. You'd be amazed at how much negative talk hinders your ability to burn fat - it jacks up cortisol and crashes thyroid/dopamine levels at the same time.
Do fun non-bodybuilding activities - for me, I like to occassionally rip the streets up in my Vette on a nice, cool, clear evening.
Spend regular time in a sauna. It actually can boost growth hormone by up to 142%! I usually do this 3-5 times per week for 8-15 minutes PWO.
I also take regular hot baths before I go to sleep and now I've also started doing cold therapy (ice baths).
Take L-Theanine, Magnesium and anything else like Zinc, Boron, Copper and other heavy metals that are often neglected in a low carb/low fat prep diet. All of those contribute to healthy levels of dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and thyroid. Without adequate levels of those hormones, life is miserable and you have no patience for anyone or any circumstance.
Lastly, understanding that it is not acceptable to think that contest prepping makes it ok to be a crappy boyfriend/husband/wife/mother etc. it doesn't. If anything, if you have to ask yourself whether you think this is acceptable or not, you're not ready to prep or compete because if you aren't taking the necessary steps to be emotionally/cognitively healthy, you're just going to leave a bad taste in the mouth of everyone that is part of your life regarding physique competitions. We should strive to be role models as we get more disciplined in the sport.
