When bodybuilding or power lifting is over...

[RicPhoenix]

What factors would one consider when making a decision to retire from competitive body building or power lifting? How would they cope with the time that will be free, the changes in lifestyle, relationships/friendships and possibly appearence?

Ric Pheonix, your question is a great one.

Sorry it's taking so long to reply. I've got some ideas. I just read this huge paper on self concept and life changes. I will address this topic that affects us all at some point, for one reason or many. I am having a blast on this forum!

Thank you.

I would be interested in hearing the experiences of the many veterans on this forum who are no longer competing but still have a role in strength sport be it coaching others, working in the fitness industry or judging/running contests or even those who have left bodybuilding and other strength sports all together and now only like to watch or post on the forums.
