Bro, I go to sleep at 9-930 to make sure I’ll get up for cardio before first meal.

I don’t drink.

I go to sleep by 11 on friday nights.

Schedule revolves around training and getting my meals in.

I always have food and water.

I’m just like you…but I’m 18…in my first year of college…by the time I’m 24…well dear god…

And I’m not complaining. Every time I look in the mirror, I miss the “other” way of living less.[/quote]

Emotional, intellectual and social development are just as important as physical development. You seem to be squandering a lot of opportunities by being a slave to your routine. You’re a college freshman, not a prisoner.

This is absolutely great.

I have yet to complain about what I’m doing.

And I was kind of giving an overview.

I have a girlfriend, I’m involved in campus activities, I play football and frisby with friends on the weekends. I go out if I feel the need.

I fully fucking socially developed guy…I’m fucking tired of this thread, a bunch people who just need to piss off.

I said very clearly I didn’t hold it against anyone if they dont do what I do…if people wanna drink and eat mcdonalds and go do all that and get their results thats awesome good for them. I can’t get my results like that so I do what I need to do and I cheat on saturdays and maybe sundays.

Why is it necessary to badmouth me and the OP as if what we do is wrong. Again…the point of this thread is to show how people change.

You are truly a bunch of pricks for trying to turn this into us doing something wrong.

Your right I am a college freshman, a perfectly happy, interactive one…who likes teh occasional beer but would rather not drink much. I USED to be a prisoner, a prisoner to food, being fat, and not being able to control myself.

I’m free of all that now. And I fucking like it so piss the fuck off you self righteous douchebags.

I didn’t say you were doing anything wrong. From your post it appeared you were not doing enough of other, healthy things. And after what you just wrote, you still appear to be the most boring college freshman in America. Hopefully you won’t look back upon your college years as a squandered opportunity.

44

This is my life and I love it. I can strap on my roller blades and in one hour live more than most people do in a month.

With superior cardio, my awesome strength, my amazing endurance and my need to live on the edge. I feel more alive than a lot of people ever will. To use my own abilities to propel myself at such speeds that I can pass mountain bike with the greatest of ease.

With my continued dedication to my over all fitness, my continuous improvement in my physical strength, and dedication to reaching elite cardio conditioning. I fully plan on passing all but the elite road cyclists and they will have to work to get me out of their draft.

I don’t need cheeseburgers or frys, alcohol or drugs of any kind. A social life or a partner. Any one can have those, very few can have what I have. They can only dream a dreamers dream, while I live it. Adrenaline, I live for it and off it. This is for life.

45

TJN you really are a prick.

I guess I am the most boring college freshman in America. And if I was unhappy with the way I live I’d probably change it.

What would make me a non boring freshman…get plastered on thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, sometimes tuesdays…should I do that like my buddies. So I can get fat an out of shape again, and start fucking up my grades again.

Or should I just continue hanging out with people when I want, go to bed at 9:30 so I’ll get my cardio in before my 8:00 AM classes.

Maybe that stuff is more important to me. Maybe no being a fat piece of shit with crappy grades and constant depression isn’t what I find to be an interesting or fun person.

46

What are the other healthy things I should be doing?

I won’t look back on college as a squandered opportunity…I’ll look back and remember I was happy being me, I’ll remember having just as much fun at 'nole football games sober as I do drunk. I’ll look back and be happy about staying in on Thursdays during second semester since it caused alot of missed class and shitty grades first semester.

Life is balance…and I think we balance it just fine.

Me and the OP just shared that we are basically alot different than we used to be…that what is important to us has changed.

Whatever…criticize me all you want…you don’t know me or what I do so thats fine.

I see that going to bed the same time as a fifth grader has not solved your anger issues.

Listen, I have no need to fight with you, and I’m not. If you think your only options in life are either living as a monk or as an out of control alcoholic, knock yourself out. I’m just saying balance in life is a good thing. You obviously have no idea what that means.

48

How do I not know what balance means, read my last post. I said life is balance…and I think I balance it just fine.

Whats with the insults man, what are you so insecure about?

All I did was express a difference of opinion on this thread and I got slaughtered like I’m doing something wrong in life…and thats what the anger is about…but obviously you don’t understand how much you are shortchanging me.

Why don’t you live your life the way that makes you happy and I’ll live mine the way that makes me happy…

And maybe you missed the part where I have 8:00AM classes…well guess what pal that means I have to get up at seven…and I like getting a long good nights sleep because I feel alot better.

I said that was during the week but whatever man. Congratulations on having found the perfect balance in life…because of course I don’t understand anything about balance.

49

I really can’t believe you are judging me as a person based on a post.

I certaintly don’t live that way 100% of time. I do most of the time, but I things I enjoy and maintain balance just fine. Do you HONESTLY think anyone lives like a monk on this website…the most dedicated of the dedicated branch out from time to time.

You took what was said 100% literally as if what I outlined is exactly what I do all day every day of my life. Sorry I didn’t outline a full schedule but use your head.

You call me a prick and a douchebag, and you’re crying about my insults? You’re hopeless.

51

This guy is notorious for picking fights with the college guys.

GetSwole I admire you for having the conviction to pursue your passion and goals at your age

52

I call you what your acting like. Your hopeless.

Thanks RS.

I’m starting to think he’s one of those guys that I think Shugart refers to as a saboteur. Always gotta bring people who are motivated and goal oriented down.

Not sure how telling you to get out of your box and enjoy life a little more makes me a saboteur, but hey, it’s your life.

54

i never did get the whole “health nut” thing. is that supposed to be bad, geez, people will say anything to make them feel better about their pathetic state of well-being.

Some people just don’t dig lifting.

Christ, live and let live. It’s pathetic to some people that we feel compelled to lift weights all the time. Acting snotty about lifting heavy stuff is ridiculous.

That’s what I don’t get. I mean, we see all these people post on here how they suddenly don’t fit in with their friends and no one “gets” them because they have a protein shake every now and them. So, the only people they can relate to are here, online.

I guess it’s nice that they’re physically healthy, but being an outcast can’t be too socially healthy. Maybe I’m weird, but I like having real-life friends, too. And most of them don’t lift.[/quote]

Agreed. If I didn’t befriend out of shape people, I’d be missing some of my closest friends. They know you’re in better shape than them…if anything it gives you a leg up, cause you can always break their balls about being fat. Comes in handy when you’re 5’7" and all your buddies are over 6". Yea, you’re tall… but you’re a fat motherfucker, so I’d rather be short and me.

No digs, Jehovas… I just don’t like people that think whatever they do is the best damn thing around and everyone else is an asshole for not doing it.

It’s like fundamental christians damning all other religions, or people arguing about what martial art is the best, or whatever…just live and let live.

Yes being healthy is good but what the OP is talking about is not the optimal lifestyle. Yes it’s better than most lifestyles but try not to be so one dimensional.

I have been and am still very obsessed with this lifestyle but I’ve opened my eyes to some of the ways that it is not the greatest. For example, this lifestyle takes an extreme amount of selfishness. It also has a strong correlation with what I would consider to be an over emphasis on looks/vanity.

It wasn’t even until fairly recently that I began to realize some of these things. All in all though it is a pretty darn good lifestyle.

well, BEING the “OP” i think that an ‘optimal lifestyle’ should differ person to person. That would make the fact that your saying the my lifestyle isn’t optimal false. Sure you could look in on someone that is a fatass and lives in front of his TV and say its ‘not optimal’; but who are we to judge? It might be; for that one specific person.

Also, i don’t see my lifestyle as selfish. I don’t make other peoples lives revolve around mine; ever. I am doing things this way to ensure my body will last as long as it can. If I tend to look better doing it; hey…what can i say? Being healthy to me means that I am lean and strong; inside and out. If that seems to you that I am putting an emphasis on looks/vanity; its not. I don’t put alot of emphasis on ‘looking good’. Does it come naturally? Ask my girl haha…

On another note, thanks to everyone else who actually understands what I’m getting at here. It’s good to know that me and a few of my local T-Cell members aren’t the only ones out there doing it like this!

I know exactly what you are getting at here but that doesn’t stop me from taking an honest evaluation of my/THIS life. If that offends you then just say you don’t want to hear it.

I agree that it differs somewhat from person to person but what I was commenting on from gatesoftanhauser post is that it is very narcissistic to think that THIS lifestyle is the best one.
It has wonderful positives and can help build good qualities like discipline, sacrifice, work ethic, and many others. But there are many things outside of this lifestyle that are also very important.

For clarification I’m not saying selfishness is necessarily a bad thing. It is a vital human element. That’s great that you don’t ever make other people’s live revolve around yours but you make your own life revolve around you to a larger extent then you would need to if it weren’t for THIS lifestyle. Again, not all bad but also not ideal.

[/quote]

thanks for clarifying man; i see what you were saying now.

57

To all who are like-minded; we rock. Thanks for the support and everything else.

To the rest of the people who don’t agree, you rock too…don’t worry.

To the few of you who came on a website to throw digs at other people for their lifestyle and/or personal opinions; i think your time would be better off reading articles here or I don’t know…lifting?

Just don’t skip social events to have a protein shake. There is nothing wrong with sobriety (that a drink can’t cure) but don’t miss out on life.

yes but it may be important to bring a protein shake to social events.
