I feel small compared to guys on gear and I'm constantly comparing myself to them which is just so stupid for me to do since there's no real comparison. But yea it sucks. But I really only care when they pull the "I'm all natty" card out randomly. That's when it bothers me because I know they're full of crap and it takes away from my hard work
 
Juice is hard work. You have to watch what you eat to more of an extent. You train twice as long. Twice as hard.

But this manorexia shiz only bothers me when I put on 20kilos to bulk and look in the mirror and see no definition. Damn... Why are we still using AAS with manorexia. We should be slamming all of it.

Is that what you tell yourself or do you actually believe it?

I'm all for taking gear responsibly, but let's not fool ourselves. You don't have to watch what you eat as much, I am natural and there's days I train 2 hours (does that mean if I took gear I have to be in the gym for 4?), and if you're training twice as hard on gear then that just means you trained like a vag when you weren't on gear.

This is pretty funny, but I can somewhat understand what he means by "twice as hard". When I'm on gear I go extremely hard because I'm in psycho-pump beast mode. Now I don't have to TRY twice as hard, it just kind of happens that way.

thats how i got hooked...
 
Not in it to be the biggest. I enjoy lifting, fitness and cardio for functional usage not just trying to be a meat head. When zombies attack I will be able to throw them, rip their heads off, put them in leg locks, and out run them.

Never small. Fat? Yes. And weak when I get on instagram. But never small.
 
herderdude def feel weak on instagram, never small either, just weak watching clips of some freaky insane amount of weight on deads and bench
 
Do I ever feel small? Well I'm 150 and 5'6 so yeah. But I am small and it doesn't bother me. But what kills me is when I'm in a situation that makes it difficult to eat healthy and train then I feel fat. Sometimes I'll look in the mirror and think I'm making good progress, then 15 minutes later I'll look again and see a chubby little bastard staring back. I lift cause I love it first, there's nothing like smashing some dead lifts (smashing them as much as a 150 pound guy can) while blasting some tunes in my head phones, then for strength, then for aesthetics.
 
I am 5'5" at 185lbs, I don't think I see in the mirror what other people see....I feel Normal but would like to be bigger !
 
I used to go through this a lot and it was in part why I used to go through a couple of bulk phases throughout a year. But then I wouldn't like that it took away from athletic ability and I'd start recomping. This went on for years until I finally just out grew it mentally. I think it is fairly common for those of us that put a lot of work in at the gym and then see someone we picture as bigger or stronger, then it gets to you that someone else is bigger even though you are busting your ass and it starts.
 
Think of it this way, there is always going to be someone bigger, stronger, faster, and more ripped then you are. Stop comparing yourselves to others. Just be happy for them when you see them reaching their goals and lifting big. Concentrate on one thing at a time and stop judging yourself in the mirror. Seriously, that's just no way to live. Life is way to short to worry about things most people think of as almost meaningless. A little bit fat you say, a little bit weak you say?. Get over it.
 
Here is a very impressive bench press from a guy that is paralyzed from the waist down. They have to strap him down to the bench press. Now quit your bitchin' and go lift!

I think because I compete I am constantly comparing but you got to kind of in my position. However happily I'm about at the point in prep where my condition starts to outweigh my need for size.
 
Haha. I am completely over it, I just am in awe at some achievements of some people. I never wish to be anyone other than myself. I just love that feeling when I hit a personal best in a lift, then while surfing online later I am like damn, I am big and I can lift heavier from looking at some of the videos online of some crazy strong fellas. Motivational not jealous or disheartening. I am weak today compared to how I will be tomorrow. :) kill it
 
Yeah I'm not jealous of my fellow competitors I feel great when my coach or teammates place in comps it's more of a battle with myself
 
I know what you mean about feeling small. I used to be 6'0" 155lbs for the longest time until my mid-20s when I started lifting more. I'm now 205lbs but will always feel 155 for some reason. I even see myself in the mirror as the skinny guy still. It body dysmorphia. Its only when I see old pictures of me that I realize that I am not as small as I used to be. I try not to compare myself to others because there will always be bigger guys but instead just compare myself to myself of the past and feel good about my own progress.

It is that mindset, that set's the over achievers apart. I've gotten to know some really good athletes in the sport I love. All of them don't see how talented and hard working they are. That's why they are successful, they don't see themselves as the world does. They only see room to improve. It's a negative view with a positive out come. You're a beast dude, all of us that are here are beasts. Different goals, but we are all here cause we see a need to go further.
