Honestly I love food way to much to do this again lol.. Training started to became a full time job which I didn't like.. I started hating to train. So I think this will be my last show lol.. Very good learning experience by far. I learned so much about myself and training and diet

I know what you mean, i have been returning to the stage for years...yet still to make it there...with wife, kids, work, business and few other things i like to do in my spare time its hard to focus 12 weeks of my life on a show...i love certain aspect of it and hate others...like my friend said, bodybuilding gets in a way of life or life gets in the way of bodybuilding...its a hard balance to strike...

Either way, great job and dedication to get it done...

Damn, a lot of that hit home with me as well. I've been thinking about it for a long time and many friends constantly yell at me for not doing it. I've had my eye on Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh as I keep reviewing past winners in my age group and honestly think it's very weak. It would be neat to get a pro card just to say you did it! Then all the contest galleries results roll through on MD and I've yet to see one in my age group that I'd have difficulty with, in my seemingly non-humble opinion on this one. And conditioning comes easy for me, yet I don't know why I won't pull the trigger? Maybe I need fvckn counselling.



@ Tice. GREAT work. It's something you'll look back on proudly.

You got my full support man you should go for it you don't wanna look back when you're older and see that you could have had a pro card and didn't get one just because you didn't take the extra step! "The best way to get ahead is to get started!"

Plus would be extremely cool for not just me but many many people here seeing a log of your contest prep haha

Yeah brother bodybuilding is a very selfish sport. Your friend said it best lol

Yeah brother bodybuilding is a very selfish sport. Your friend said it best lol

It took me years to come to this conclusion


But, my wife sure don't seem to mind me this way either - but, not to the extremes. Like last year is when I dropped to my lowest Bf%. I was just horrid to be around, can't eat, live at the gym & snap at everything & everyone. - The close to one G a week of tren couldn't help either.

[MIKE_XXL]

I am luck or unlucky, depends who you ask and when, that my wife competes as well...she is way more established then i am, 3 times Nationals, 1 time world championships etc...but when we diet together, its a nightmare...there is no blow jobs or eating out for what seems like months...LMAO!...we look like Greek gods and goddesses, but aint no body horney at all...bwhaha! its a misery at its best...and now with 3 kids, its even more annoying...selfish sport is right, i think all married people should move out for 2 month before the show...haha!

[< <Samson> >]

LMAO - Wow, yeah. . . It's kinda why I'm happy with the way me & the wife are now. Pretty fitted up, but not extreme. I'm def a few levels up from my wife/She lifts at least 3-4 times a week. But, she's close to jumping on any time now. As soon as I am done with my BS job, most likely.

[mind&muscle]

Sounds like I'm in for some fun lol. I'm about to start competeting and my fiancée already thinks I'm at the gym to much and that im to worried about food she's slowly starting to enjoy the gym and the lifestyle
