Frustration at the gym
Hey guys, just wanted to write this, Sometimes I feel so fucking frustrated of my body that I literally feel like crying, I take this sport so serious and have been doing it for a long time, I have a great diet and I am knowlegable and I feel like I am a real part of bodybuilding, its my life, it makes me feel so good...well anyway I feel so frustrated of my muscle size that it just drives me crazy sometimes....And I am not a small guy, I am almost 6' tall 198 pounds and 13% bodyfat, and I do notice other guys look at my mass at the gym but thats not it, I want more I want more and more and more and I never feel good enough about myself (except sometimes when I wear a tight shirt and I get attention from the ladies) It just sucks and I want to see how you guys feel about his, it would make me feel much better if there are people out there who know what I am talking about....

I'm not big, but I don't really care. I have made a lot of progress in terms of body composition, size, and strength; I will continue to do so.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Cutting sucks.
|
i was never really concerned with my size til i finally realized how much of a skinny bitch i was and started lifting. lol im 5'10" and thought i would be huge at 175 lbs. i made it up to 206 and still "wasn't big enough." its a crazy sport.

if it's a self-esteem issue (which seems to be the case here) you will NEVER feel big enough and that is setting yourself up for alot of unhappiness.
Be competitive and always strive forward but don't go beating yourself over the head. Be proud of all that you've achieved and move forward. |

dude.. i think it might be all in your head..
i used to be like you too, but a reverse situation.. i was always the fat kid in school, but at the beggining of highschool i looked towards annorexia for the way out.. i became really skinny and people would tell me so, but in my eyes i was still fat. luckily i snapped out of it and got back into a healthy lifestyle. personally it might all be in your head (try asking people what they think or send in a pic for a critique from us).. i think everyone knows what its like to want those gains and strive to become bigger. just use it to fuel your motivation to become bigger even more. next time your in the gym just go balls out. |

I am so motivated that I could give some motivations to otehr people who need it, I love the sport and I show no signs of stoping, I will send pict when I am in the middle of my cut, people tell me that I look good, and I do notice that people do look at me when I walk by, but still I want more I want to be huge and be really something special,not neseserily competetive wise but size wise, and not for anyone else but me..I think my family and firlfriend is right when they say that I am obsesed with this.. that is my goal and I WILL GET IT~! I love this sport and it has give me so much in my short life that I will never ever leave it. |

roids are not really for me, I am just not they type of person for that shit, when I was in high school I got hiugh a few times and was paranoid from it instead of relaxed, The hardest shit I did was 2 weeks of low dose pro-hormones just before the ban becasue I just wanted to try it, I am in law enforcement so I need to respect this new law. Plus I know when I get older I will be happy that I chose to not do roids.. |

I dont think tighter shirts make you look bigger, I think that wearing tighter shirts gets all your defenition out and shows what you got, If a small guy started wearing tight t-shirts then he still wouldnt look big.....

I think alot of people feel the way you feel, I certainly do. Most people will never be able to see themselves the way other people see them. I know I've got a bit of BF on me now but I still feel I look majorly obese because that's how I was for so long. One day I'll look in the mirror and think, "what a fatass", and 1 hour later I'll look in the same mirror and think "what a puny pencilneck dick" LOL. I've been on both spectrums so I still see myself on those lines. I don't know what to tell you, just wanted to let you know your not alone.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

This is an issue that a lot (if not most) of us share!!! But u do seem to display low self esteem to an extent as u are "negative" about ur own image, but also the image that others have of u....I ahve come to realize that lifting the weights, shoving the ill tasting CEE down my throat or hating the treadmill is the easy part...being satisfied with what I do is the biggest challenge!

yeah all of you are so right about it, I was never a fatass or a skinney ass but In high school I wasnt much of the "Ladies man" but now I get attention from girls way out of my league and I wonder why?? LOL (oh and by the way, god yet another thing i have in common with rock, god damnnit I hate that guy
lol) I love to hate this sport and the hurtful things we all go thru day to day with diet and training.......But like rock said one day I look at myself in the mirror and see shit and the other I look at myself and say "damn you look good"...It all depends, but getting big and bodybuilding is starting to become my whole life and and obsession, Like I said before I am not a small dude but still I want more and more and more...great to know there are people in here with the same goals!! |
