Thoughts from the Dungeon
I got into bodybuilding 2 years ago after not lifting a weight since high school. I got back into it because i was becoming really thin (i was 175 at 5"7) and realizing that almost all my muscle was gone. I have to admit, at first i did get back into it to look good and feel better about myself. Today i think about why i do it and my thoughts have changed or altered i should say.
Today i am 210 lbs. Same waist size but so much bigger. I lift now to push my body to the extreme. Then upon reaching that point, i push harder. I like to see my body fail and prove to myself that there are no boundaries in this thing. There is no such thing as "too big" or "working too hard". For me, the light is always green and i tell myself that constantly. Every rep. Every set. Even when i take a day off and realize i am so tired i could pass out, i smile and laugh, realizing i put myself through hell and a half the day before. After my day or two of rest, i look forward to destroying myself again in that room and seeing just how far i can go. I love bodybuilding and that is why im' here. And so my journey has begun....
