Im in Aus bro, i cant receive anything from sponsors.

Contacting pro muscle support is very hard as I've been trying to recover my main account montecresto, so if you can help me with that?

Take it to DM’s with a mod and don’t clutter good threads.

I had a profile that was lost and I was a kilo club member and well known to everyone but I just started over from scratch. Did tell anyone who I used to be or try and build up a post count to regain my “status”

I knew I didn’t have to do that shit because I’m the same person I was before. I took shit like a new guy like everyone else and put my time in.

But that’s me.

Bro what status are you talking about? i dont mean to be rude or 'leaving a last line' every post to make it seem evident that your trying to help.

There is nothing in the rules that states having 20-30 contributory posts in a first day is not allowed.

And in regards to the 'sarcastic' good post on first day.. tell me what's there in there (though your not a mod but for sake of argument relative to the other posts and spammers) that was said that was wrong.

'Pro' bodybuilding in its essence is not a contributory part of life. It is a plastic trophy with a world of side-effects. If your doing this to feed your family theres not alot of money in it and that is why i mentioned bodybuilders in GCC counteries staying as amateurs then turning pro. Im entitled to my own opinion i think alot of others pros have talked about this.

To be fair I did start this thread to hear both sides as a discussion for those to share their personal stance based on their experience.

So follow up question based on the above- have you actually competed and if so do you regret it and was it worth it?

I also just want to point out that in all my years competing I have never won a “plastic” trophy.

Ye bro. Managed to do with it 1 arm aswell. I dont like making things seem negative etc so i apologise about coming off that way.. but unless your Hadi and you work full tiler time and had bbing as secondary means to sustain himself etc, its a 'sport' .. but professionally? i think and many others have stated over time probably not the smartest decision one can make.

Casual/lifestyle bodybuilding (although I’m very strict with diet/training) is 100% worth it for me.

Competing and being 100% locked in to be as big as possible.. not worth it. My joints were destroyed, I had zero mobility or cardio at 270+ even while lean. BP was a mess. Could barely put my seatbelt on. Huffing and puffing after every set. Waddled instead of walked. Felt lethargic all day and mentally took a hit from high doses. Only felt good in the gym.

I realized now that training is what I love most about all this, and I just want to be an animal in the gym. I like to deadlift 800 and then do 5 sets of 20 on pull-ups and just get that rush of adrenaline and intensity. I truly love that feeling more than anything else in life. I remember a video when Branch Warren was repping out high rep leg extensions at the end of a leg day and the pump was very intense, he said “this feels better than sex”. I’d say it’s at least comparable. (Different of course, I’m not cumming my shorts in the gym)

When I looked my best, my performance in the gym was the worst. I didn’t get endorphins from lifting.

Basically I just worship the ritual of lifting. Hopefully I don’t sound cheesy when I say training is almost a religious experience for me, and grounds me and sets a foundation for my life. Sometimes all I look forward to it hitting the gym

I have a lot going on now, good job, family, friends, healthy hobbies… but at certain times I’ve had absolutely nothing and the gym has always been a positive constant in my life. I can get fired, my wife can cheat and leave, but the gym is the one thing in my life I have 100% control of.
I don’t even care if this lifestyle takes 20 years off my life, it’s worth it

Brother this is me to a T

The way I feel after I smash a heavy deadlift or bench is price less. Definitely a high. Cloud 9
