Yeah you got a point
I guess it’s always easier to say you have a condition and blame it on that than it is to admit you’ve been fucking everything up so far

Well, duh! My genetics are to blame in my case.

I just wish that even once somebody would come on and say “I just don’t want to do anything. I want to eat like a 9 year old and play video games. Where is the easy button/cheat codes for this muscle building stuff?”.
I’m just sitting here looking back on my day thinking “Nope. Didn’t do anything. Just wanted a nap and to play with kitty cat, so that’s what happened.”.

They’re in it for the sense of spiritual connection. Like “namaste” but with weights. Only the weight lifter in one acknowledges that the weight lifter in the other doesn’t actually lift. They just shoot some ugl stuff that is most likely olive oil and birth control pills and say bro a lot.
Edited for rephrasing.
It’s too easy to blame something else and not take responsibility which is a ego thing. I could say i am fluffy as hell because of my age at the moment! But the reality is it comes from eating like a asshole .

I encouraged my wife to take two of the kids out and immediately put the other down for a nap so I could watch the XFL game. I’m actually kind of enjoying the game.
I’ve always wondered, does it make people feel better knowing they have an excuse for something?
Just as an example:
- I want a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.
- I invent an excuse for why I can’t have a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle. Probably genetics or steroids.
- Do I now feel better about not having a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle? Or is the excuse powerful enough that I no longer even want a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle?
Edit: How much do i regret pulling out that reference and having to type out rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle 5 times?

According to my decision science professor, yes…

I had to look the chicken thing up just to be sure I got what you were talking about, man you had me laughing so hard because that example made exactly zero sense 
Anyway, my theory is that most of the time, people crave the sense of accomplishment more than they desire whatever they are trying to obtain. When they fail, the feeling of being a failure adds to the feeling of not having what you desire. So they start to look for an excuse because, apparently, they feel more compelled to get rid of that sense of failure more than they care about reaching their goal.
So in the end they go something along the lines of, “man, I didn’t even come close to what I had set out to achieve… BUT, at least it’s not my fault.”
What sums this up is an observation I made some time ago that’s been running around in my head for a while: people can be HELLA delusional at times.

Is this your first foray into using “hella”? It’s a slippery slope, bro.
HELLA slippery.

Maybe, I don’t recall having used it in the past.
Did I misuse it? Lol
No dude, you used it perfectly. I think I’ve seen like on grammatical error from you on here since you came on, your English is stellar. It’s a very west-coast-US thing too, east coast would be “mad delusional”, and some retarded New Englanders might even say “wicked delusional” too, but don’t even go there.

Nor-Cal exclusive. You say “Hella” in San Diego and you’re marked, haha.

I don’t even know what a SoCal person would say to that…
“Bro, people are so not gnarly”
I dunno, whatever Bill and Ted would say.
Pretty much as soon as you hear hella you just respond with “Dude…”
Possibly “Duuudeee…”
I think one of two things leads to the delusions. The first is lack of patience. Someone wants to look like someone who’s been training for 10 years but they get upset when they’re not there in 6 months.
The other reason is that we’ve beef duped. Bigger, Stronger, Faster revealed how many people are on just a little bit of the sauce (in the physique world).
