I am not sure on what my body needs or doesnt need to grow. I am still in that learning process. I use to be a personal trainer, which I am glad I did. I gained alot of useful knowledge, and tips. Some actually make sense now that I use them.  One thing I cant figure out, is why I consciencely slack on my diet. I know I need to eat better. I know NOT to grab a ****ing Mountain dew at work to stay up.. But I do so.

Right now I am working out 5 days a week. I have tried less days , however , I feel like I miss shit, or I didnt get what I wanted done. 5 days even though to most seems like overtrain. I feel great. I feel fatigued after my work out.

It seems pretty intense, but tell me what you all think about it. Any changes?  I am always open to suggestions.

I’ve been working out and staying in shape for most of my life. I have always had the dream of getting bigger and being that huge mass on stage " Markus Ruhl" But for lack of strick diet and training, and gene pool, I have not been sucessful. Alot of my friends have always said I have a good build, and that I look like I work out. But I dont ever see that. I think thats another issue in fitness and nutrition, We as humans have a natural instinct to judge ourselves, demanding a higher, sometimes unachievable goal.  I tend to have to talk to myself, while "posing" in the mirror, Trying to keep that " high" of yes I am doing good, and soon I will see my " trophy".  its hard to do/live this lifestyle. however, I cant give it up, its like breathing I get sick and light headed if I dont do it. 

I have this desire to be someone important, and I feel I can find that through body building. I dont work out to gain popularity, or to get rich, or any of that shit. I guess it all comes from that childhood dream of being a pro baseball or football player. 

Never the less, I keep pushing myself. Working third shift, eating oatmeal, and drinking slim fast shakes. Well see if any of this will make it.
