Rant

[Johneffer]

I was reading a post from jamestown and it said do you consider yourself a bodybuilder?


you shouldn't consider yourself a 'bodybuilder' because you simply build your body... You're a recreational lifter. These past 4 months I've broken myself down and became anti-social and selfish only caring about myself. Not missing one meal, not having cheat meals or cheating myself in the gym. I was supposed to do 25 minutes of cardio on stairmaster and it took me usually 10 seconds to start my machine up to a certain resistance so I always ended up going 25 minutes and 20 seconds so I knew I wasn't cheating myself. And I'd be doing a set and half way through it I'd think do more and I had to do it or afterwards I'd feel incomplete. My dad would always get mad at me because at the end of the workout I was exhausted physically but mentally I wish I could've worked out so hard I couldn't be walking around right. If you think being on 40 g of carbs a day is an easy thing you're very mistaken, don't call yourself a bodybuilder unless you've went through this. 9 days out today... I have a new respect for bodybuilders or anyone who gets on stage; this takes guts.

dont care if you don't read not my problem, no cliffs

I'm not there yet, but I've seen my family compete and I agree OP, GL with your show!

I didn't call myself a bodybuilder. I said that in the thread. My response was that I'm not one but I'm working on becoming one. Honeslty you are pretty spot on. Bodybuilders work their asses off and then 145 pound curl brahs who go to the gym and do sit-ups and curls once a week call themselves bodybuilders while they are dead wrong.


Also, my name isn't Jamestown lol

I wasn't calling you out it it just made me think

Yeah I just noticed it after rereading the OP. Regardless, I completely agree. Actuall bodybuilders work very hard for their title.

[ParkRanger]

For once I agree with you.

You're not a bodybuilder unless you compete.

[IDonutBeeleaf]

maybe if you didn't prep like an idiot you wouldn't be so miserable. only thing i agree on is that people who just want to get big aren't bodybuilders. but i won't give my stance on competing right now.

[nowheym8]

Agree with some of this, however don't believe you have to be obsessed to the point that the gym is the guiding reason of your life in order to be called a bodybuilder.


Then again...obsession is usually what you need to achieve greatness in any field.

when i went down to 8% it ****ing sucked but i wasnt horribly obsessed with it. Actually it's harder for me to mentally cut not because of the strict eating but simply because I HATE seeing myself get smaller.
i call myself a bodybuilder sometimes even though i've never competed.
i've done worse than you have to make weight for wrestling and gone through much worse practice wise so ik how you feel but chris jones for instance, doesn't go as low as 40g of carbs and what not and isn't as obsessed with it but he's a bodybuilder without a doubt imo.

but i also know how you feel anger wise/frustration wise because while you're current situation is much harder than your average "bodybuilder" who just goes to the gym and lifts and doesn't get as shredded as you. best of luck in your competition brah

[yushhh]

Is it not possible to be like a non-competitive natural recreational bodybuilder?

Cause I think recreational lifting is different than recreational bodybuilding lifting, only slightly.

[meaantje]

came in expecting rant about IIFYM, left angry and aroused

[Meadey]

you haven't stepped on stage yet so you're not a bodybuilder so nice try

[Johneffer]

8 days

[Meadey]

you're saying you're only a bodybuilder if you put yourself through painful dieting wtf kind of logic is that

[Johneffer]

you're saying you're only a bodybuilder if you put yourself through painful dieting wtf kind of logic is that

No I didn't say that

Not everyone can be a bodybuilder because not everyone has the will powder to get below 6% or at 6% which is a painful thing to do

Don't argue with me you'll lose

[Meadey]

you said nothing about bodyfat in the OP hope this helps

[Intentiion]

For the first time I agree with you John. srs.

[Greenteadrinker]

will powder

Wat

[Mattschill]

Just curious man, how far red are you? 100% agree with OP

[Johneffer]

I cant help much but I believe you deserve to be green. What would that look like? Lmao

[buzzbot]

Most people said no competing means not a bodybuilder.

You haven't competed yet, so until you step on stage you're just on an intense cut

lol @ claiming dropping bodyfat to be hard. if you don't cut carbs to 40 fking grams like an idiot, and eat like a normal person, you wouldn't be complaining.

[EnglishRay]

I agree that a bodybuilder is only someone who has competed in Bodybuilding.

But you are still a huge *******.

Only reason you think I'm a ******* is because I think you are. You were on my dick before I realized how much of a punk you were
