my dad asked me, why are you eating all this food. and i said, that's how you gain muscle. and he said no its not.
my dad is not the type of person you can argue with so i just took it up the ass and shut my mouth but that was the dumbest thing he ever said.
i don't get it. in just 7 months, i went from squating 155lbs to 315lbs, from benching 155lbs to 225lbs, from deadlifting 245lbs to 385lbs and i went from weighing 120lbs to 160lbs. what more results can there be. by now he should be saying, i'm sorry you were right and i was wrong. he's 44 and he's been bodybuilding since the age of 19 and he still weighs less than me and i'm stronger than him.
another thing is that he keeps saying that i need to do crunches to get my abbs ripped and i do but i try to explain to him that it's over all low bodyfat that allows them to show. my mom wants to loose weight in her arms and he says that she should train biceps and triceps with light weight and lots of reps (which would be good because it burns more overall calories) but he think that it would burn the fat right in her arms since she's training them directly. he says i'm wrong about the diet thing and that my mom would faint and be too weak if she went on a diet because she works so much. and then i'm trying to explain how to loose weight to my mom. meanwhile she's eating chinese food right before going to bed.
all my family eats is white rice and it offends my mom when i don't eat her food as soon as she serves it. i save it for after a workout.
another thing is, i'm trying to do cardio 3 times a week for 30 minute sessions and my dad doesn't want me to because he thinks i'll get too skinny.
my boss at work thinks that you have to be sore after a workout and if you're not, then it wasn't a good workout. i'm trying to tell him that it doesn't work that way and he won't listen. he's a certified personal trainer and doesn't even know the basics of bodybuilding and wants to start using steroids already.
i'm sick of people asking me at work what i'm drinking a shake and what i'm eating and calling me a health freak or that i'm obsessed with working out and obsessed with my health. or that i live in the gym. and i don't talk about it to others. its just that they see me doing things and they ask questions which i'm forced to answer.
my dad goes with me to the gym and doesn't let me finish my goddamn workout because when he feels like leaving, we have to leave. and he does real quick ones.
i'm fucking 19 (about to be 20) and i would just like to do my own thing.
my parents and people are not supporting me and they're making me wanna say fuck it to bodybuilding.
i guess i'm not gonna be able to do a show as long as i'm living with these iddiots.
I WISH THE WORLD WOULD JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
if you're not gonna sit and listen to me and try to comprehend what i'm doing, then shut the fuck up. |
Hey mate i hear you, i moved back in with my ma and pa and the shit doesnt stop, for me ( maybe this will help) but for your boss, people around you, for them to critisize you the way that they do proves that they do not understand, they dont understand why we do what we do. dedication is a word that they only see in a dictionary if someone at work asks me if i take steroids or say that im a health freak, i let them, say a generic yea yea and walk off because they will NEVER understand that the things that we do, bbding wise is what i call the price we paid for glory, because we paid the price fo being shunned or scrutinized now, these will be the same people in years time it will all click for them and suddenly we werent so crazy after all.
cheer up bro remember stay true to your game and keep your eyes on the end goal sometimes its easier to lose sight of the finish line and get caught up in the moment.
