Found this at anafreakz. I think it's a different view then what has been taken in this thread. This was posted by colossus he's a member over here as well.
Is he reffering to G-S? Dont know but a good article none the less.
No steroid question here but a brief overview for some members dabbling in the bodybuilding and AAS underworld. Most of you will relate to this message. This article is meant as a warning or a reminder to what we have decided to be involved in.
I read many non-serious or non-committed members thread/posts via board to board. Nothing wrong with experimenting and looking for that extra advantage or breaking that long time barrier we get stuck on. Remind you though, bodybuilding is not something that is easily done or taken lightly. That will be the point of this article. I have read somewhere that a person was going to get out of the game because they usually go hunting several times a year and because of AAS and training. They passed the season for hunting.
I dont see how this can happen but this is the complaint. Some users complain the lifestyle consumes there lives and makes them neglect other priorities. I see members saying "I used to do this, I used to do that", "I cant afford this, cant afford that". I have to ask you reader, when you started training and became involved in the steroid underworld. Did you think bodybuilding was not going to be a piority? If you answer no then you had no business in this game at all.
Let me enlighten some of you readers that decide to grab a taste of the bodybuilding world. Bodybuilding is a religion, lifestyle, and constant daily practice. Day in and day out. Week after week. Month after month. Even if you are that striving natural bodybuilding that would never touch a drop of a steroid. You still have to apply a strict daily regimen of discipline. Every day you count your calories, watch your food, take an extra hour to shop for your food. Train daily at the gym even if your sick. You suck down water like a horse. Force feed yourself to keep up your calorie intake. If you are a steroid user, you spend your last dollar on your gear and no matter how bad it hurts you keep up your mathematical planned out regimen of injections to keep a stable level of hormones in your system with out spikes.
Bodbuilding is a religion. You need to remember that. You want to do it right? It has to consume you. It's not a bad thing. It's a strive for discipline which you can apply to other priorities like your job. Bodybuilding is a good thing. You could be a wife beater, mass murderer, drunk at the corner bar, wasting your life off on a couch flipping channels. Bodybuilding is a motivation. If it's properly conditioned in your lifestyle, bodybuilding is the best motivational religion I can think of. You can use it to inspire you, destress you, make you a better person to your family and friends. Bodybuilding builds confidence where self-esteem used to not exist.
It is a science and that has to be applied to your every single daily routine. If you are not ready for this. If you do not see the practice of it or the benefits of it. You are not meant for it and will never truly committ to it. Many of us members like me have lived it for years. I can not go long periods of time with out working out. I live for the pump. It consumes me and I LIKE IT! I know many of you know what Im talking about. We live it. It is our lives.
I can not stress enough the committment you must make. I can not explain enough what it is or what it takes. You need to decide. So dont whine about it. If you dont like then get out.
Im sure many of you can relate and add your wisdom to this thread. How many of us race off to the gym late at night just to get that 20 minute work out in? Suck down that last protein shake or split the package in half to draw it out till next shopping? It's fanatical but in a good way.
I have no life!!!! I make it out about once every few months.
