Yeah, I remember even before I started working out I was constantly mirin all those muscular guys that could lift all heavy, thinking to myself that even if I could be one of those guys that could lift even 50lb dumbells and squat with a plate on each side, I'd be happy as hell lol.
Time ends up flying and you don't really realize how much you've progressed and how an active lifestyle changes EVERYTHING. Feelsgoodman.
Do you guys ever see people who used to work out like crazy before and stop and you see them down the road and they aren't the same anymore? Either they end up being super fat or lose all their mass? It's kind of scary because I never want to end up like that. I always hope to keep an active lifestyle NO MATTER WHAT because I never want to go back to being obese again. I think for me, constantly mirin people like I did when I first started keeps the fire going...I just hope it never ever burns out.
Sometimes, though, I see people so dedicated and they stop and I'm like...
