Bodybuilding No Longer Interest Me.
Greetings everyone. I wanted to let everyone know that I’m no longer interested in bodybuilding and trying to gain huge muscle mass. I have many reasons that I want to point out, but the main one is because since I do allot of cardio and need only certain amount of muscle strength for sports like horseback riding, archery, western martial arts, and rock climbing; I decided to leave the sport of bodybuilding for good. I don’t need to be Lee Priest, Flex Wheeler, or the Incredible Hulk to do those types of sports. I just need to maintain a lean and toned physique for those type of sports that I do.
That does not mean that I will stop going to the gym and stop taking exercise and nutrition seriously. Before I started taking exercise and nutrition seriously before May of 2001, I was so out of shape that I couldn’t do even simple things like walk up 10 steps up some stairs without getting tired. Also, I was almost at risk of certain health problems like heart attacks forming form eating too much junk food like snickers and eating fatty foods like pizzas from restaurants like Dominos and pizzas from the food stores.
Now since I started taking exercise and nutrition seriously since May 2001. I can do a whole allot more. My physical and even my mental abilities have increased. I’m no superman or anything like that, but I can at least run a mile and a half without getting tired, can do push ups, pull ups, and I can at least swim in water long enought to get out of it at least. I can also concentrate on certain things like my school work and difficult games like chess when I say that exercise and nutrition have help my mental abilities as well. I never have gone to the gym to get huge in the first place, just have enough strength and energy to at least do some simple stuff. The only reason why I have gotten into bodybuilding is that I thought I could get some helpful advice about exercise and nutrition so I can increase endurance for both weight training and cardio. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t oppose to other being huge like Lee Priest, Kevin Levrone, Flex Wheeler, Stan Mcquay, etc and I those bodybuilders are my idols because I like their attitude and they take health and nutrition seriously obviously. However, trying to be be like them was never my goal in the first place and it’s just not for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I will always take exercise and nutrition seriously and will train in the gym forever. However, as far as being a bodybuilder and trying to gain huge muscle, I decided that I don’t need that in my life anymore.
Thanks everyone.
