For the first time i think other people are right. Why even workout

[jfrey54]

If you dont enjoy working out, then dont. If you do, then keep lifting and quit your whining.

This
Take sometime off lifting, do other chit. The feelz to get in the gym will return

[StayxCold]

Stop bein a poosy. srs.
Add a new variable to training to give it new meaning. Do you compete? If you dont, Start now.
If you already do, train for something else for a while.
Stop worrying about the mirror, make some gains in a different style of lifting and have some damn fun with it.
If you think you are too fat, cut weight. If you wanna get bigger, bulk and get strong as phuk.
We're all gonna make it brah. Stay the course!

[Wakaaa]

You seem depressed. You can pm me anytime and we can talk brah

If you're not happy with working out or don't feel like it anymore then don't work out, that's up to you.

What are your goals as far as bodybuilding?

[fitguy23]

Stop crying and fist yourself.

Seriously though, you sound like a chick right now. One who's fishing for compliments.

could be man. My estro levels might be through the roof through which could explain my depression issues.

I cant compete in bodybuilding due to injuries well my own fault. Best thing i can do is physiques or mens fitness

[fitguy23]

dont know anymore.

I always wanted to be 200 lbs,5% body fat but not at the sacrifice of my health more.

[AD117]

I am not asking for an advice on this thread on how to reduce body fat. I have ways to do so. no need. This is more of a mental thing than physical.

Your actually a pretty good looking dude going by that avi, no homo. You're my height, but built like a tank with 50 lbs more muscle.

Imagine how you would look if you were morbidly obese with a round face and a double chin. Fitness has its rewards, and it's worth it dude.

[Balkanwot]

Jump on dat der

[fitguy23]

Jump on dat der

been there fcked up my mind not worth it. Destroyed my joints cant even lift as heavy as i used to. At my strongest i can inclining 315 for reps. Could have repped mid 300s.

[Manletbolic]

Workout is not only good for health and physical benifits but its also time to yourself, you should always challenge yourself whether its to get shredded, get bigger, prep for show or an event w.e.

If you feel your wasting your time, maybe you need to try something new or set new goals

[Tomohawk92]

Go see a psychologist - you may have depression.

a shrink will tell you u got anger problems, depression and anything else to keep you coming back


OP is it hard to eat enough to maintain?
im bulking atm and it's like a ****ing job
once i hit a 405 deadlift for triples or something im gonna cut and then slowly wither away.. its just not worth eating so much

[fitguy23]

lol true

Ding ding ding

[Logix128]

I do like lifting man dont get me wrong. Its the mental aspect that is killing me. its just the same thing over and over and i am not talking about doing same exercises. Damn its hard to explain.

Pick up a grain of sand and hold it in front of you like you're giving it to someone. It's easy, right? No problem. But what if no one picks it up? What if you just keep holding it there for an hour? You arm starts aching, you want to quit and do something else, fux to this chit. What about after a day? You're pissed, want to sleep, fawks to this chit.

Negative thoughts are just like the grain of sand, easy in small doses, but when you hang onto them they beat you down. You need an outlet for them, I'd suggest writing (that's what I've always liked to do, so mb youll prefer something else) IMO you should write poetry b/c that's a very useful life skill in picking up hbb's later on in life. Even if they're chit poems, you'll be surprised after 15-20 poems how much better you get. With poetry you can lay your abusive thoughts to rest, don't need to keep them in your head all the time, give yourself peace and a way of parting. Maybe try some happy poems, about the bright things in your day? Keep them with you because the positive thoughts will build up over time to create happiness.

I went from being able to workout for 5 hrs to not being able to go for more than 5 minutes from depression, medication, self hate, whatever you wanna call it, took 2 years to get out of that mess. Now that I'm out of it, I notice my mood and well-being is all about mantras. Little chants of positivity that will become so repetitive that it brainwashes your sobconscious and affects your life over the long term. GL brah

[fitguy23]

how did it fukcd ur mind?

I cant go into details. Forum rules

[coctopus]

Just saw your comment about dat dere. I've never had any issues like that. Guess everyone responds differently. I do have joint issues, but I had those before any "supplements". They actually feel better while "on".

If I went from enhanced to natty, I'd probably feel the same way as OP.

[vbaguirov]

you seem depressed bro. Just remeber that life is struggle, the more struggle you add, the stronger you will become. Gym is struggle.

But srs, imagine what you would look like if you didnt even lift. Also, how many years were you lifting for? Why not start competing?

Is gym the only thing going on for you in life?

I already answered couple of questions. Yes as of now man. I have sacrificed a lot of things for it it wasn't even worth it.

[kshaw]

What are you talking about bro? Your lifts are solid. You can't compete because of injury? A friend of mine just got his pro card...he also was in a crazy accident and cant hit certain poses (FDB for instance) correctly. If you are functional enough to lift I don't see why you can't compete.

[vbaguirov]

I think you can try to compete. Seeing all these guys that start competing after like 1.5 years of lifting and look like me or smaller.... lol

[JakeJarmel]

I said the exact same thing as you. Now I'm fat trying to get back in shape. Let me tell you you're in a lot better shape than you think. I didn't realize it at the time but when I look back at my pics I should have been satisfied

my legs sucks man. I cant get those things to grow only thing i can do for my legs is hack squats,front,leg presses and isolation. I wish i could do back squat so that i can build up my legs but cant due to knee issues and shoulder problems. I need to get an MRI sometime to see whats wrong with my joints. I might have done permanent damage to all my joints.

fat? u are pretty shredded man avi.

[joshewwah]

Why lift when its all about face?

[x8Pauly8x]

Lots of bodybuilders develope body dysmorphism.
so you could be the equivalent of a rail thin girl who thinks she's fat and starves herself.

This pretty much sums up your problem op... Pick up some old pic of yourself before you started lifting and you'll see. Also you think this is the best you can do but you'd be surprise how far your potential can go body wise. Keep your chin up nikka and keep on lifting

[hockeybrah]

could be man. My estro levels might be through the roof through which could explain my depression issues.

Brah, you should come off dat dere, get your mind clear, then hop back on if you want. Seems like its fuking with your head.

[Tomohawk92]

ur probably just at the top of a log function for progress and feel like u dont have any more gains to look forward to
think u just gotta find something else to do brah.. try strongman or oly, master a different style of lifting

[hailux]

they're admiring your dedication in a cynical view.

"other people are right, why workout?"

such a cringe statement.
