Anyone else kind of miss not lifting and being carefree with their body?

[Hawttiqet]

Srs question, is there any real reason you can't?

Do you compete or something? Do you make money from bodybuilding? Is it your career?

Because if you do it recreationally I see no reason why you can't do that every now and then while still progressing towards goals.

Am looking to look good for my afterprom at the beach gnome sayin? After that its dorritos and PB sandwiches with nutella and anything else i want.

[JohnnyChristian]

Don't get me wrong, I love lifting and making gains

BUT

sometimes I wish I could go back to being a a lil pudgy fugtart who ate cool ranch dorritos while watching cartoon network or eating mac n cheese while playing FIFA.

Love lifting and making progress, but brb forever chasing the pump and never being satisfied with oneself, as well as tracking down what I ate. Being carefree with the body had it's perks once in a while.

inb4 ectos, damn y'all
inb4 do it once in a while, I do have a veg out day but it's not the same.

Brb still eating cool ranch doritos and eating mac and cheese,

brb still looking like avi

1400 cal cut? good lord thats starvation mode. I cut on 2400 cals with no cardio

Hence the lack of pizza etc in my diet.

I also run a couple of miles a day.

Lifting shouldn't take over your life.. I have noticed that I think that some things might make me gain some fat or lose gains if I don't eat this or that.. but after all I don't even think it matters too much.

I eat pretty healthy and try to eat food that is protein rich. Other than that I still get ice cream when the weather is finally good and go drinking occasionally.

I agree and do the same, but i'm still cautious and its on my conscience (conscious?), not the same like before

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

hey OP, google "IIFYM" and then eat some mac & cheese and cool ranch doritos. Nothing will happen to your aesthetics.

Lol i've looked into it a while ago and its worked but i want to be cautious for my beach afterprom

[pablocai]

sometimes, but I love lifting and always will


problem is, it's hard to eat without feeling guilty (in my case), brb get panic attacks if I don't get enough protein, brb feeling like chit after eating pizza or something high in fats and carbs...

before I didn't even know wtf a gr of protein was lol...

[PlayTheGameBRAH]

U wot m8. You can fit Doritos into your macros and you wouldn't be better off eating another food so long as you hit your macronutrient and micronutrient targets.

Lol YES , feels. Feel bad after a tub of ice cream n chips.

[Buffbero]

I'm only a year into my lifting career and have made some nice gains but am still about 2 years away from my long term goal physique. I feel you for sure though, it does get tedious after a while. But remembering how chitty I looked (I was the definition of skinny fat) and felt keeps me going.

Omg, those sigs are you my long lost brother?

[Gui524]

I have those feelings, but it's actually with unknown restaurants and bakeries. I can easily fit McD in the diet for example, but when I see a ****in homemade red velvet cupcake or something similar I cry in the inside lol

[Hawttiqet]

U wot m8. You can fit Doritos into your macros and you wouldn't be better off eating another food so long as you hit your macronutrient and micronutrient targets.

Yeah but when i eat dorritos, i kill the bag. It wouldn't be worth eating them and then being hungry and not being able to eat cuz i met my macros.

[daisybee81]

Lol YES , feels. Feel bad after a tub of ice cream n chips.

I think we all have issues haha.

[Gerald151]

I don't have the same motivation anymore, either. I'm honestly turned off by all the people who act like fitness is their life. Would never want to be like them.

I still lift 5-6 days a week, but I eat junk food a lot. I'm happier this way. If I want to lose some weight I'll just increase my cardio. Fuk hardcore dieting. It's more enjoyable to me to eat a bunch of different foods than it is having a six pack at the beach.

[Hawttiqet]

I think we all have issues haha.

Haha yeah, i've caught myself looking up cheeseburger deluxes in class on my laptop. Cutting feels.

[primetime32]

lifting gets seriously old and boring

probably more of a worthwhile pursuit to develop confidence from sources other than lifting, because lets be honest that's all its good for

girls don't give a ****
its not necessarily "healthy"
socially isolating

but its not that easy to get confidence purely through personality alone

LOL at a 26 year old saying lifting gets old. Been working out for last 20 years and you couldn't pay me to stop. Look at your average 40 year old and ask yourself if that is where you want to be in 14 years.

[InspectorNatty]

I can relate. I love to eat and at the same time I wish i could be ripped. I have cut to 10 maybe 9% bf two times but at that point I just binged back to 15% in 2 months. Mom is athletic,pretty low bf while father is maybe 30-40 bf,clash of the genes lol. Wish I was one of those naturally lean people.

You look great for 39 brah, I assume you stand out amongst your peers and make them jelly lol?

Most 40 year olds I know are fat as fuk and couldn't run for a minute.

[cocobenz]

yeah, lifting helps you gain confidence. Course there are people that love it and use it to relieve stress like I do sometimes. Helps a lot with confidence cuz look good naked and with clothes on, feelsgoodman. But sometimes just want to crack open a soda with pizza and mow down without feeling like chit.

do both cuz
lift and maintain (to the best of your ability)
life sucks restricting yourself food constantly

I agree, that's why I do 85% diet, 15% w.e I want. If I want a cookie I'll nose dive into it but I wont be binging lol, I'll still have my share of brocolli and chicken

[tokelift]

people who complain about bb lifestyle are most likely the ones who end up giving up

Well no shiet...

[Hawttiqet]

Well no shiet...

no one here is complaining though lol, we're just saying how awesome it was back in the day @ vbaguirov.

Also not everyone wants to BB, just be joocy as fuaarrkk

[EvanAlmighty]

would have a couple days of being a straight fat ass due to stress of finals and ****

brb pints of ice cream, halal food, chips, candy, chocolate, etc all in the matter of hours
