The end of bodybuilding for me?
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009Well guys, i am going to keep this brief:
I am starting to get tired of being hungry 24/7 and i am starting to get tired of feeling fatigued. Having spent the last 6 months eating cleaner then i have ever done in my entire life (by a mile) my body is STILL mutinying against me. I have proven to myself that i am able to get ripped, but what i have found is that i am unable to stay lean unless:
i) I am doing a lot of high intensity cardio
ii) and consuming very, very little calories ie (a measly 2000ish)
iii) I monitor every morsel and calorie i consume
Having come from a powerlifting background and having been much, much bigger and stronger in the past, i am starting to tire of constantly feeling hungry and weak. I tried my heart out to keep super lean this off season but failed. If you have read my blogs, my body seems to want to hold the fat at the 13-14% mark, but once it gets there, seems to resist all effort to go over that mark. On the downside though, unless i absolutely BRUTALISE myself, i am unable to get super lean. In fact, if most of you knew what it took me to rip up, i doubt a lot of you would try to be honest. There are foods i have not eaten in so long i am starting to forget what they taste like and to be honest, i miss them. And i am just about over weighing, measuring and monitoring every ounce of food i consume in the persuit of ultra leaness.
Genetically, i seem to be predisposed to be a bigger, stronger more powerful guy, not a super lean individual who is cut to peices.
Basically, i am not an ectomorph, or even an ecto-mesomorph. I am much more endo-mesomorph and far more suited to sheer size and strength
I will think about it overnight tonight guys, but this may be the end of bodybuilding for me. I miss enjoying my food, and i miss being bigger and stronger. Powerlifting may just be a better fit, but we shall see
The good doctor
