Social life dying

City4ever1 · 12-24-2008, 11:24 AM

Since taking up bodybuilding i hardly go out anymore, last 2 years have been like this:

2007 - Great year in terms of social life, i had 3 not serious relationships and was out every weekend, finished it off with a 3month trip to america. i sarted gym in january.

2008 - i've worked out six days a week, twice a day and have not missed a workout/meal. i look so much better but my social life has suffered, the group i used to hang around with have kinda pushed me out (without sounding big headed i think they're jealous), my other group are ok but there idea of a night out is a night walk on the moors, we have nothing in common. another lot i got on with have gone off to uni. i still have friends but not a big group who all know each other, meaning i don't go clubbing much, i've not had sex since january. i learnt to drive, that and bbing is all i've done.

dunno what to do, anyone else seenn there social life suffer due to bbing? i just miss being with a girl, me and a m8 are going clubbing but i just can't approach girs anymore (dont drink)

Cut your training down definitely. Why do you go the gym 6 days a week and twice a day? I can understand if volume is your thing, but damn man training knowledge has expanded since the days of Arnie and co. You can work out much more effectively on a 3-4 day split, trust me.

damn bro..theres obviously ways to make training not have such a huge hold over your life. it sounds like this has hurt u as far as being exposed to ppl and having more of a social life. just go out and dont be so concerned with having a steady group around u that u fit in with. it sounds so cliche, but just focus on having fun and being open, and things will get better for u as far as building a group of friends

Dont worry about it, youll end up a better person. When your friends all have huge guts and look 40 when they are 30, and you look your age or younger you will look back and be thankful.

Same thing happened to me brah. I got so into BBing freshman year of HS, was so dedicated till this year, senior year. Didn't do sh*t in regards to socializing, but the thing is I didn't care. Now, I swear one day I just said "WTF am i doing?" I was crushed, seriously, wasting away the greatest years of my life. So I have a decent body now, but im done with BBing. I cant even BB in moderation, because the only thing that is on my mind when I BB is when to eat, what to eat, when to workout, whats my workout gonna be, etc. It consumed my thoughts 24/7. Fcuk it. I'd rather live a fun life and have memorable moments than have a nice body for the rest of my life. I mean wtf, if you wanna keep up your jacked physique, you gotta lift for lyfe. Fcuk that.
