Serious noob question. 2 months ago i decided to LOSE some weight and start working out religiously. I take C4 as a supplement and i have lost 20 pounds in 2 months.
As i read through these forums i see people claiming they need to "gain" as if to say they want to get fat so they can get stronger. What i dont understand is WHY?
I do realize that some people go down to dangerous BF percentages for competitions and stuff but what is, if any, benefits to doing this in order to get stronk in general? When i get a real answer ill post a picture of my ex and her number

You sure? A quick read through the forums shows that people who are serious bodybuilders go through some sort of purposeful gain into a "cut" phase. I'd really like to know what it all means...Originally Posted by fitguy23

Self made -versus- Salary
I'm 21 and i have no ****ing clue what the hell is about to happen.
I'm 3/4 done with my BS degree
My mind feels like its about to
Explode.
Why?
Everyone tells me to stay in school--
Dad makes 100k/y after doing salary work
Typical school/salary life (university)
Mom is the principle of a school-
Typical school/salary life
Now spotlight is on me-
GPA good
Got a apartment
Girl is ok
Job is **** but only temporary
So what--I'm
Supposed to be making 40k
After i graduate?
Network and get
Put on by a company?
Only so they
Can control my life?
But life that way is
EZ mode right?
Rong?
Even if you make
100k/y
Would you rather it be
From bossman or
From yourself?
YOU want to be bossman?
I think i do---
But its hard work they say
Salary isnt?
But-its consistent
Bossman work-
not so much
BUT omg how good it feels when
You make something
And it makes you moola
Real talk though----
Thoughts?

Nice poem brah, but being self made vs salary is more between taking a huge risk or playing it safe. In these times I'd definately be playing it safe because the economy can crumble at any time

i can relate to this sweet odyssey
Look at all those people down there, they follow the rules for what? They're letting fear lead them.
What happens if they don't?
Life's simple - you make choices and you dont look back.

Nothing wrong with having a salaried position for a few years until you get your own business off the ground.
Brb make 40k/year (like you quoted) while building your hustle, then when you're confident it could be your main gig, drop your salaried position.
Why not both?

It's up to you to decide what you want to do. I'm a business major, but I learned more about business from my parents than I did in school. My pops owned air conditioning businesses, convenience stores, car washes, you name it. Mom owned her own alteration place and did some collaborations with my aunts on some hotel businesses. Honestly, I feel like being your own boss is the way to go. You'll never have that financial freedom or unlimited vacation days unless you go out on your own. I got into the barbering business when I was young, currently flipping cars at auctions with my friend, and did a fairly decent T shirt press company with one of my classmates. My friends who are working at Capital One or the Hospital hate it and I love what I do so naturally I'll tell you to go off and become your own boss.
