If you could give your younger self any piece of advice?

[Elvia1023]

Spend all the faith, heart and energy I've put into bodybuilding since I was a teen in tennis or golf instead... I'd be a multimillionnaire today.

You would be rich but would you still be as sexy??


I could say various things about my life. There is one thing that stands out to me though. I never had a problem ever I just loved to party. So I would tell myself just to calm it on the partying and drugs involved. Still have some... I still want me to have fun

Oh and maybe not take that African Prostitute out in Ibiza... maybe that wasn't a great move.

1) Don't use too much tren

2) Don't barbell bench press too much

3) Protect your joints and ligaments

Being the farthest thing from an expert or an exceptional physique but having
spent more than my fair share of time weight training and observing and knowing
the training habits of others (some of the best physiques in the world in ‘my time’),
I have more than my fair share of opinions on this subject . . . advice I rarely give
out in a line by line fashion.

I could write a book on this subject (advice and mistakes) as I my personal journey
as been long and not without its ups and downs . . . with more downs than ups.
That being said . . . I probably hold the world record mistakes I have made over the
years.

Here are just a few pieces of ‘advice’ that immediately come to mind . . .

- make the ones you love your number one priority
- have other interests and passions besides weight lifting / bodybuilding
- avoid bench presses like the plague
- I should have begun squatting starting on day 1
- trained less but harder and taken more time off
- made training less of a priority . . . if you can grow you will, regardless
- supplements (not super, i.e., AAS), I spent a ton of money them; worse the worthless
- never listen to the so called ‘experts’
- keep accurate food records (I never did)
- you are unique . . . just like everybody else; find out what works for you
- don’t be afraid to experiment (not drugs) with training frequency and volume
- for TRT, keep your dosages low and frequency as high as necessary
- there are few worse mistakes then the close-up inspection of one’s heroes
- spent more time with Arthur Jones
- not read as many bodybuilding magazines
- paid more attention to diet / total calories as it ultimately determines how good you look
- used less weight and better form; more repetitions and body mind connection
- eat a balanced diet, preparing all you food from scratch

- if you have potential to be ‘something’, you will know in a few years. Don’t spend your
life falling prey to commercial interests; you can’t make chicken pie out of chicken shit
even if you send the your life trying.

Could go on and on but don’t want to bore you (or piss anybody off . . .).

1. Never pass up the opportunity to take a piss.
2. Fat girls tend to cum a lot.
3. Never trust anything that bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die.

I feel like there is a great backstory for these.

[LIFTW8S]

Credit Cards are the devil. Use cash, and save/invest more.

 

[TheAnabolicFreak]

There is a lot more to life than big muscles. Dont waste so much time and money on a hobby that wont put a penny in your pocket. Focus on the career and make the money and save for retirement. Dont waste cash on GH, Motorcycles and taking random whores out all the time.

 

[bighank]

Don't stress too much.its a killer.
Realize what I can control, and forget about what I can not.
Life's too short just got a say fuck it sometimes

 

[BigMatt]

-Dont eat too much Carbs.
-Eat High protein and good fats.

If it wasn't for my mistakes I wouldn't be where I am now (Saturday night in my pj in bed reading up on steroids) [emoji23]

Professional wise: don't go to uni, waste of money.
Life: don't be so stubborn and impulsive.
2+2=4 also 1+3=4 your ways is not the only good way.
Don't believe everything you stupid cow.
Train harder and stop eating all those biscuits, it will pay off later.
Don't believe a guy when he says he cares for you but he is too busy to meet up for 7 months in a row!

Do not get on that rocking horse that ruptured my right nut at the age of six that no longer works.
Marry my high school sweat heart instead of hanging with my dumb ass friends.
And don't take rec drugs......
