    Are you guys ever happy with your body?

    Finishing up my 6th week of Tren. Went up almost 30lbs. I look at myself in the mirror and go "Pffh, still a long road ahead."

    I used to be a fat kid in my early teens. Now, I am one of the biggest and strongest guys at my University gym.

    But I still don't feel satisfied. There is a hole that never gets filled no matter what I do. I definitely know that bodybuilding is a marathon and not a sprint...been doing it for 8 years now.

    Just this sometimes makes me wanna give up. I think "Okay...so what if I become 250 lbs at 8% b.f.? I will still be unhappy!!".

    The only thing that gives me much joy now is powerlifting. I am definitely happy with my strength.

    Or this could just be the Tren just fcking with my mind.

    So, what's your story? What weight, bf, etc did you start at? Where are you now? Are you happy with your body? How long do you see yourself doing this for? Ever lost motivation along the way?

    At one point I was pretty happy, then gained a lot of weight and it really made me feel like shite... I would like to bring my quads up a bit for better proportion, but I have another 10lbs to lose and I actually like what I see in the mirror.

    I never had that body dysmorphia that a lot of people at the gym seem to have, but I can understand it.

    I really hate to see girls with great figures go and ruin it trying to perfect something that doesnt need altering

    I've been a few different weight through my steroid ventures. Highest weight was 267lbs which was pretty beasty but I was not my leanest for sure. I`m about 230ish now and its not bad but I have been off for a long time. Looking to start my own Test/Tren cycle any day now. I might just suddenly start I have it all sitting in front of me. I think ideally 245lbs around 10% is where I would like to be.

    Oh wow, no even said that they were okay with their bodies. I guess that's the drive that brings us all here. What I think I need to do is let go of all outcome dependence that is attached to bodybuilding.

    -Becoming a better athlete
    -Becoming a better boxer
    -Getting more and better women
    -That people will respect me more

    Sounds like insecurities that pop up their ugly heads from time to time.

    I need to think "I lift these heavy ass weights because I love lifting these heavy ass weights." (Which I actually do)

    You have to have rocks in your head if you actually like lifting heavy objects. lol If that's really the case, i have a job waiting for you in a factory. Haha.

    What i DO like is the by-product and results of lifting heavy objects - that's what im addicted to. But climbing under 225lbs on the military press does not make me smile and say, 'wow this is great'. (im being sarcastic of course..lol)

    Do you know the number one reason why people dont lift weights? Because they're heavy!

    I feel bipolar too. Atleast you are getting compliments...I see the same people day in and day out and hence, they can't tell how much I have blown up. (p.s: I think they are too jealous to complement my awesome body).

    I was happy for a while, but then I one day wasnt anymore. So i started bulking again. Im about 240 now around 10%, but i was at 220 ~7% for a long time. Now i really dont know how big i want to get, but i definitely want to workout some weak points and be leaner.

    No. I'm never happy with how I look. Whenever I look in the mirror, no matter how lean I get or how high I'm able to push my numbers in the gym, I still see a weak, doughy fat kid with gyno who stopped getting taller at age 12.

    You're never going to have the perfect body in your mind. There is always going to be something else you can do to it. The thing you should be satisfied with is the quest itself to get bigger faster stronger.

    I graduated high school at 5'5 204lbs around 30%bf. Changed up my diet and eating habits and dropped down to around 155 cruised around at that weight until a few years ago when I got in the gym with no real knowledge and made it up to around 165, but still walking around at 20%+ in BF. Today I'm sitting at 170 and 15% give or take and still growing. So anytime I get discouraged or demotivated I just think back to where I came from. I've been the fat guy, the skinny guy, and now I'm the guy friends come to when they are looking for advise on their nutrition and the like. This keeps me going hard so that one day maybe I'll be the big guy in someones eyes, maybe even my own.

    I'm doing great at my age ( I think) but I am not satisfied. However I am so grateful that I'm at where I'm at at 61. I'm on the move. Progress not perfection is all I can ask for. So I train like a maniac ...crazy mike
