Bodybuilding: journey and therapy
Today was a great day! The gang hammered out a no-holds-barred leg workout with dumbbell lunges with 90s and a stacked leg press. All reps were done using full range of motion, of course. No half reps here. I had a bit of a harder time since I was completely carb depleted but my friends and training partners pushed me through.
Afterwards, we all felt great and very accomplished. But did we really achieve?
The quest for a better body never stops, there is always the next meal, the next workout. So why bother?
Because the journey is what makes it great. The people you meet, the workouts you have and the way your body changes, these are the moments to cherish. After your next great workout, soak in that feeling and try to remember it the next time you don't feel like lifting heavy.
To me, bodybuilding is my life, my therapy and my defense against the outside world. It helps me overcome my insecurities and deal with everything life might throw at me.
For my part, I am very grateful to be able to pursue such a great endeavor.
