Life After Contest . . .
Are there any former competitors out there that are struggling to find that post-competition balance? I’m not talking about that snippet of time when you’re not gaining and not on precontest. I’m referring to life after you’ve decided to (at least temporarily) stop competing.
I "retired" (funny, since I’m not even 30) from competitive natural bodybuilding a few years ago and oftentimes find myself in a strange place. After almost 10 years of either bulking or cutting for a show, it’s kind of like I’m in "no-man’s land." I’m simply attempting to stay fit, muscular, and lean, but feel that I’m often just spinning my wheels.
I don’t mean to ramble. I would love to hear if anyone else is facing a similar scenario. You’ve still got the passion, but you’re not staring down any competitions.
