hey i’ve been bodybuilding for quite a while now , and i enjoy training but slowly realizing when does it stop i mean i enjoy training but the nutrition side of it kind of lets it down i mean when do you stop eating healthily making sure you have set routine meals and forcing your body to eat repetitive meals , and when do you stop taking supplements , well all im trying to get at is that it ends up being never like i really enjoy working out but it seems to of caught me into a depressive hook as i don’t want to stop supplements because my physique will be ruined and you cant stop with nutrition as your body will be ruined i mean i understand body building is a life style but it controls your life , waking up making sure you eat correctly , if you miss a workout you want to kill yourself i just find it quite stressful and have kind of hit a depressive stage into bodybuilding as theres no stopping it just seems like Alot of effort to me having to do everything correct and 100% accurate as missing a meal or a training day could ruin your week and physique , i no i haven’t set this question in a easy way but i hope you can get kind of what i mean i just find it a very tolerant sport which takes up Alot of your time and it was spose to be enjoyable , but didn’t tell me to quit because i would hate seeing my body decrease
You have to remember why you did it in the first place. It helps if it is for a real sake, like getting kids in shape (your kids if you have them).
It could also be that you need to try something new. Try building your body to best yourself and fight off temptation, or stop body building and try something else entirely.
after I quit powerlifting I did more lean mean fast twitch exercises, and I feel good with them because I have the mass and the speed I want.
And yes, most people go through a depressive stage. Don’t let it control your life, control it to benefit your life.

Antioxidant Supplements
A key ingredient to improving your lifestyle and living a healthy life is antioxidants. There are several antioxidant supplements out there that can help you live a healthy life, that are natural and won’t cause you any damage. You can also eat different types of food that contain antioxidants as well, although supplements are the ideal way to get the right amounts of antioxidants.
If you take in more antioxidants through food and supplements, there are a few benefits that you’ll have, with the first being cell protection. Antioxidants can help to protect your cells from damage, which helps to fend off diseases. Many times, you can have a lack of vitamins in your body, which will cause you to recover from diseases or injury very slow. If you have the right amount of vitamins and antioxidants in your body, you’ll notice the differences.
In most cases, you can get antioxidant supplements in the form of herbal or natural, which will greatly help your body. They have a lot of benefits as well, such as preventing various diseases, keeping blood clotting under control, and restoring libido. Nutrition and proper dieting is a very important part of life, therefore you should always keep your health under control and make sure you eat well.
There are non synthetic supplements out there as well, that are ideal for keeping your health maintained. They can be easily absorbed by your body, unlike that of synthetic supplements. Synthetic supplements are well known for their absorbing, as it can take a long time before you see any type of results. Non synthetic on the other hand, gives you almost immediate results, as they are easily absorbed by the body and don’t have any type of side effects.
Some chinese herbs contains high levels of antioxidants. One example is Antioxidant Herb Tea and is made of wild cephalotaxus sinensis, trichosanthes fruit and spreading hedyotis (oldenlandiae herba).
These ingredients provide triterpenoid saponin, coumaric acid, flavonoid, methatriacontane, stigmasterol, ursolic acid and oleanolic acid. Chinese medicine uses them as strong antioxidants to boost the body defenses, to facilitate better blood circulation, remove stagnancy and toxins, and dissolve accumulated mass.
Ingredients: cephalotaxus sinensis, trichosanthes fruit, hedyotis herba, green tea and jasmine flower.
Keep in mind that even though you may be taking vitamins that contain antioxidants, you’ll still need to remain on a healthy diet. You’ll need food that contains the minerals and vitamins you need as well, although the supplement vitamins will give you more. You can also use vitamins and supplements that contain antioxidants if you aren’t able to eat the right foods that contain these precious nutrients.
For more reasons than one, you should always make sure that you include foods and supplements that contain antioxidants in your diet. If you aren’t taking in the right amount of antioxidants, you’ll be at a risk for disease or other harmful effects. Antioxidants do a lot for your body, which is why you want to ensure that you are taking in the right amounts. You can find many different vitamins and supplements that include them, all you need to do is make sure that you are eating right and doing all you can to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Does this actually work for improving strength or is it just for making your muscles look bigger(which i don’t really care about). I want to improve my strength for joining the Army. Would this supplement help and would the result be permanent after i stopped taking it but kept exercising?.
You really dont need them . if you exercise daily do maybe 100 press ups a day and eat good protein maybe eggs for breakfast? and a steak for dinner ? it will get you built in no time at all !
