"All my life, I wanted to be gangster" This iconic sentence, spoken by Henry Hill in the movie " Goodfellas" crossed my mind the other day in the gym.
being in the mafia and being a bodybuilder isn't all that different, after all. No, I am not talking about drug, but about the sense of belonging to something, a brotherhood of iron. You have access to worldwide circle of likeminded people> On all my trips I have met fellow lifters from all walks of life.
Being a bodybuilder can be helpful to maneuver through life when things get messy on the outside world. In the gym, a 100 lbs will always be a 100 lbs. The iron becomes a trusted and reliable friend. The clinging and clanging of the plates can actually be soothing, the pump gratifying and uplifting.
The monotony of the meals and sleeping actually helps to structure life, things seem more attainable.
The goal is always forward, always to improve, never to look back in regret.
So, all my life all I wanted to be was a bodybuilder!
Train hard
