ha ha

yeah i do that, its funny how you seem to look crap in one mirror and amazing in another

i'm obsessed with bodybuilding, i even dream about it. its kind of worrying when it takes precedents over your personal life
but fcuk it

and its difficult for others to understand - i'm a social outkast at work cos i am young and they think i should be out drinking and sh@gging pr0stitutes every night like they do

Its not so much goig to the gym, I'm more obssesed with the high after training. I mostly have morning workouts and i feel if i dont go to the gyn and get that feeling and cant fuction as well throughout the day. And days off are horrible and depressing, i feel like im going through withdrawl.

I know what you guys talking about.. I used to be obssesed to the point of sitting in class and going over my routine a few times just to perfect the way I'm going to tear X muscle group that to total faliure.. however my school work would suffer so i had to step back. Now everything revolves around school for that, to some degree, is much important then the gym, since no matter how good i might look being homeless and buff does nothing for me. Priorotizing is everthing and once you get a hang of it everthing falls into harmony. Now I'm able to go to school, work and the gym with out anything suffering because of the other.

ohhhh boyz.. Now that I am dieting I am obsessed with that as well. I wake up and think about working out.. then I do cardio, I think about working out.. I can't train upper body right now because of an injury but I train lower.. All I can think about is the gain's I am going to make when I am back. I am trying to apply the dedication to BB'ing in other aspects of my life.. Several girls I have been interested in have shot me down because "I will always be second to the gym" lol...Yea im obsessed

I am glad to hear morning workouts work!! I am going to be starting to try them because my schedule has changed so much. I hate being pissed off all day or all weekend just because I missed a few training sessions that week!! At this point ANYTHING is better than what I am doing now. Not training has put me in a serious funk. My stress level increases exponentially. I get frustrated and pissed off more easily which sometimes leads to me snapping at my wife (which is not good for the sex life BTW). So I am SOOOO looking forward to hitting the iron in the AM :lift: If I can;t get on a schedule soon I think I will POP!
