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.

How you Can Build the Best Physique With Natural Bodybuilding
If you want to build a great physique, consulting with an expert coach will save you a great expense of time and money as well as providing you peace of mind. A great coach will provide you with a scientifically proven training program, for without a good program you have almost no chance of building a great physique. Every great athlete requires a coach to reach there ultimate potential as fast as possible.
The lack of planning and coaching has put bodybuilders at the mercy of slick marketing, pie in the sky supplements, and magazine mysticism that leaves bodybuilders desperate and frustrated. For some reason bodybuilders are so hooked on the “genetics is everything” that they consistently fall prey to giving less then their best effort leading to disillusionment and discouragement. Often times the individual takes steroids and other bodybuilding drugs to compensate for a poor routine found in a magazine or randomly selected exercises performed with terrible form. These individuals also tend to build belief systems that support the use of drugs to build the physique. This mentality is pervasive even at the pro-level and is a cancer to the science of building muscle. Basically once you take the drugs away most people have a terrible physique and an even worse state of physical and mental health.
For the natural bodybuilder, endless growth is not only possible it is a certainty once the individual diligently follows a step-by-step sound training program. The best programs will be geared so the athlete trains the nervous system to handle increasingly challenging demands so that new neural pathways can be developed to build muscle. The body becomes it’s function is a great truism, so you need to first develop strong neural drives to each muscle group to maximize it’s development.
The training routine also needs to take in account the development of muscle in strategic places which is first accomplished in the foundation phase. In the second phase of training particular attention is directed to smaller muscle groups to improve the shape, function and aesthetics of the physique. Usually accompanying this stage is a dietary regimen that strips away body fat to reveal the underlying musculature. This is a critical aspect to fully realize where one’s physical development is and where improvements need to be made.
The length of time of each phase depends on the maturity of the nervous system, goals of the individual, and body fat percentages. For most trainees these two stages should compromise approximately 1-3 years depending on how fast the individual responds to training and the continuity of the effort exerted. In reality most people take 3-5 years to get their nervous system to the high levels of training capacity in a given discipline.
Cycling back and forth between Foundation training for the structure and Innervation training for the aesthetics compromises the bulk of these stages until the individual gets down to single digit body fat levels with a significant level of muscle mass. At this point a more complex routine is required as the body’s ability to adapt to training has significantly improved. Stricter attention to nutrition as well as advanced supplementation and serious psychological training is then required to overcome perceived limits in performance. This is where most trainees falter and there physical development halts. Intense effort is required to break past this barrier, and this takes incredible self-discipline, and desire.
In this third and ongoing stage both foundation and innervation training are performed throughout workout regimens and training reflects constant change to maximize growth and overcome underdeveloped areas. Each month specialization on weak aspects is a must while maintaining or improving strong points.
This long term healthy scientific approach to bodybuilding is far superior to training using drugs because without drugs the individual needs to first follow sound training science and sound nutritional advice. By building a solid base to your training and nutrition long term improvement is guaranteed and bodybuilding becomes a long term and continually improving pursuit.
Conversely, bodybuilders who use drugs to build their bodies quickly lose there gains once the drugs stop because of poor training and poor nutrition. Also the psychological dependence on drugs cause many top level Bodybuilders to become so depressed after they stop a cycle that their training and physique quickly degenerate thereafter. This loss of identity and false euphoria that drugs create can often lead to other more serious psychological/sociological problems. Natural bodybuilding is a far superior way to build every aspect of your physique as well as your mind and emotional state. Natural bodybuilding is a compliment to a productive and happy level not a detriment.
Many natural trainees continue to improve late into there life. Some people are making gains in their 50’s, 60’s and even 70’s with consistent and applied scientific effort in Natural Bodybuilding. More importantly the long term benefits of Natural Bodybuilding far out weigh any short term illusionary gains that drug use provides…
