Totally true. Every once in a while I have to "slap" myself and realize I tend to get too extreme about my nutrition and training, techniques, supplements and what not. When in the mean while you should realize what is your goals, do I want to be a top bodybuilder? No...then why do I obsess about training and nutrition as if that is my goal. You can still build a great physique using a minimalist approach. Then also you must ask yourself are you still having fun, are you actually enjoying other aspects of your life as well? For instance I love to do parkour, but I quit because what if it interferes with my muscle gains? Lol, way too extreme. Focus on enjoying every aspect of your life and don't obsess about things.
Maybe this has been said before, but I just wanted to say what I re-realized this couple of days.
Dude, so true about the parkour comment. Parkour sounds fun as f*** and something I've wanted to try. Life should be about having fun, not being so serious all the time. And guess what? In a peat environment, and healthy metabolism, I have no doubt you'll have some level of leaning out /muscle building from Parkour, playing soccer, basketball, swimming, whatever you find that you like to do...
I'm actually surprised how big my arms are feeling today. Let's hear it for sugar lol. I've downed 17 oranges today haha.
I have no delusions of grandeur of breaking world records in PL or bodybuilding... even though I'd like to compete in both one day. I want to do it for the fun of it, with maybe the chance of winning (though it's not the primary goal). I'd be happy with myself just to go on the BB stage and present my hard work / physique, even if I didn't win, I'd be so happy if I can get really lean and not starve myself to death to do so...
Right now honestly my top goals are: Get healthy, get lean. Maybe I have a chance to lean out by summer and get to show off haha. Just gotta be religious about my High carb, Very Low Fat way of eating until then...
