[t3hlulzkiller]

What would you say is the biggest problem that you have with yourself which physically or mentally holds you back from truly achieving your goals?

So, generally speaking, gaining size is the problem for you?

What holds back most people is probably school, srs. Including me

[TruckDriver66]

injuries

srs i am like 15% bf now at 180 and I would probably be like 12-13% if I didn't have had various problems

brb I make progress on military press, brb next day feel some chit in rotator cuff, brb 1 week of light work
brb torn tfcc
brb snapping triceps (ulnar nerve problems) cant do any tricep isolations or it will happen again
brb had wrist problems that are slowly gettin better
brb SLDLs almost fooked up my back, now i feel some pain sometimes in my spine

chit like that fooks me up physically and mentally, and also when I worry about injuries






also meals, don't have enough time to eat big
brb 5000 cal on bulk with 4-6 hours free time is fukin hard

[SURGEPLAN]

being natty

[Donnie_Darko]

Shoulder pain. (srs)

[anchassybrah]

Hate cardio more than anything in this world (Still,you can get shredded without cardio but HIIT is supposed to be the **** for fat burning)
Chest gap

[escortbrah]

being natty and not being able to dedicate enough time/work on getting proper meals in on time

[Auburn RSX-S]

Horrendous genetics - even on a clean/high calorie diet, it seems like I gain 10 lbs fat for every 1lb of muscle

I did stoppani's 12 week strength/size program and got a lot stronger but saw very little size difference.

[M3lony]

too much fat gain when bulking

[Noooodlearms]

Genetics. Natty.

[jantelo]

Wanting to hang out with friends instead of dieting/getting good sleep

[recreateme]

Holding me back is that i keep getting hurt. I think i lift to hard and end up over doing it and something bad keeps happening, usually to my back and ribs... I just want to be huge and ripped NOW and i go to the gym really trying to speed up that process and then i take a wrong turn and end up snap city...

fuh..k

[ab931]

Cant be ****ed nor can I afford to clean bulk.

I hit my macros, but with a limited budget its hard to eat healthy

[ant1lg]

School, have to be in the top 3 of my class..

[VDEngineer]

no, just my calves.

looking at your avi, you dont look bad at all (no homer)

[J2BDifferent]

Diet x 1 trillion billions

[Mwn11]

Hypermobility in joints + Constant trapping of nerves in my back.

Don't even care anymore. Pain is in the head.

[bobrah]

Find it hard to hit macros during school
Week

[SuperShamou]

Pot which causes a desire to fill my body with horrible foods...

replaced chips/crisps (for UK ****s) with rice cakes, but i still eat half the pack (6X 35 cal a peice) no fat at least.

[KennyK]

self destruction

the belief that i do not deserve better

[enexi0688]

Time to get in the gym. Stay so busy throughout the week with two jobs that I can't get in there often enough to make any solid gains. Plus no time to prepare meals that allow for optimum nutrition.

[SOLIDOPS]

Self discipline & mental strength

While I have no problem going to the gym 3 times as week, theres a limit to how much I can train because I'm on cutting cals and lifting hard + strict diet is emotionally and physcially drainings. I feel like I could be pushing more effort into my lifting but I would constantly feel tired and would be a huge drain.

[emille]

Lower back pain, not enough cell-tech, school/work.

Overall though I am pretty happy with how my body looks.

[AwhYeah]

Nothing lately. I stopped drinking the last couple months and my diet is solid. I am getting the gains I want, without a hermet lifestlye.
I'd say at this point the only thing holding me back is time

[moofthedog]

Self control.

It's easy to fall into the habit of staying on track, but if I fall out, it's a slippery slope.

Also the fact that my lower body seems to grow twice as fast as my upper body in terms of size....
