guys, i'm waiting for a miracle

i have a week to decide whether or not i'm doing this bodybuilding conest.

my parents really need help. i get paid about 180 a week because i can only work 3 days a week because of school. and my parents are in desparate need financially.

I put my family before a sport so i am going to go ahead and help them out. for my cutting diet i was going to have to spend about 140 a week and they need more than 40 a week from me.

i'm gonna talk to them and see if i can work something out but right now, i don't see it as a possibility.

but if God truly wants me to do this, i'll have faith and continue and go through with it

wish me luck guys.

i decided against it once i lost 11lbs
i saw myself and i was like, i'm not competing like this.
i'm not stepping on a stage if i'm not 100% confident.
i lost too much size.
i also think i lost muscle because i still need to learn my body.

i want to gain more size before i even think about competing.

that and a whole mess of other things.

Hiya Kenney I can make your cut diet cheap as fuck, I have always rated your physique, did you read my psychology of competing? I think youre feeling the psychological effects and this is normal and youll learn far more about your body if you compete! My friend did the same he had a far better physique than me, but put it off, hes now a 48yr old guy who regrets he didnt take his opportunity! I am not marginalising his life but the opportunity never came again through commitments. Hope what ever decision you take, its the right one for you, all the best, Jim

Yeah you will never feel that you are big enough.Especially after you bulk up and love the way you look then you have to lose 15 lbs or so to be in the competetion.Youll always feel that you have lot tooo much and are small.

there are ways to cut down your costs quite a bit, go 4 it man!

[under construction]

dont give up bud your physique is better than you think remember we are all our own worst critic. Cold feet are a natural response to things like this. You can do this and do well.

i know guys
moorey i have read the psychology of competeing.

it's just that i want to work on some things before i step on stage. like bringing up my delts. and gaining more size.

if i was 160lbs shredded on stage, i think i would be a lot more confindent.

You should feel confident on yourself. Cause you have here a lot of people who is encouraging you to do it. Hey and you deserve it! I haven't been on the dungeon so much but i've learned a lot thanks to this guys, use them as grat resources and compete and give it your best. If you fail the first time keep going cause we never get the hang of things in the first time. Everything has steps just like walking, riding a bike, sex. At first we don't know what we are doing it or who good or bad we are doing it until we keep doing it and we get the confidence. So I wish you best!
