I know what you mean about eating a lot, but have you considered just cooking 3 huge “meals” and eating each one in halves? I know people recommend that but it’s really simple and easy. Requires less planning.

And people who don’t understand that bodybuilding is still about creating an ideal, balanced physique and the Olympia is a contest of extremes where other contests are not.[/quote]
Exactly! Although I am not a competitive BBer, I wish I could say I’m into BBing without people acting like I said I go to clubs where people wee on each other (name that quote).

That one is really annoying. I’ve run into it, and I’m not very big by any means.
Besides the oily man-thong thing, the most annoying or difficult thing is finding the right balance between lifting and the other demands of life. Balance is a good thing. But the oiled up tanned thong-wearing is pretty darn strange.

the amount of eating. i hate that i cant really go out anywhere for too too long because i have to have my meals. it really sucks in that it excludes you from a lot of people, especially in addition to the gym time.
the lack of understanding from a lot of people irritates me too. its like people think im some kind of weirdo because of what i eat/when i eat/why i eat. of course every single one of them is either severly under or overweight.
as far as people thinking that we’re dumb for being bigger and stronger: i love it that im SMARTER and in better shape than 90+% of the people i meet, it makes me feel like a superior being haha. i actually think most people who are in extremely good phsyical shape and DONT use a coach/trainer are very intellectual & dedicated because as we all know putting on respectable muscle is not an easy thing to do.
…people think youre a muscle-head until you explain how the anabolic diet works and then they feel like a little child.
Being addicted to green tea. Which means taking a piss every 60 minutes.
Eating the same things, at the same time, everyday.
Luckily the seasons are changing and some different fruit is appearing in the shops.
Feeling like shit for 3 or 4 days after deadlifts or squats.
I don’t know why but benching heavy doesn’t seem to hurt but my legs are sore for days after heavy squats and after deadlifting my lower back is also sore and weak.

Thats for chicks[/quote]
So you’d rather look like Ronnie Coleman than Arnold or some of the older guys?
people ask me if i “workout” i tell them im training to be an olympic weightlifter.
people see no difference between powerlifting, bodybuilding, or olympic weightlifting, when in reality they are all so much different, but i get lumped into the same category.
