The Monster within.

The journey looks so surreal. It seems like yesterday I took the same exact path to my battle zone. When an animal guards a territory, he makes sure he owns it by being the biggest freakshow around. I prayed for faith and protection. I know my body is going to get a serious beating. I know the reward that will be reaped after all this pain and torture I put upon myself.

Bodybuilding is more of training your mind that your body. You wouldn't quite understand unless you are at the level I am at. Often, when you hit the most inner fiber of your muscle tissue, you can feel blood is rushing to there, your mind stops you because it is pain and pain. But often this is crucial stage, you have to break that wall in order to advance. Often, I ask myself about why am I training so hard? Fame? Glory? Or to satisfy the narcissist nature? Hell no. I want to be tough mentally and physically.

Sadly, this sport is a loner sport. Its you and your mind. You have a competitor and that is you, that's why I love this sport alot because it challenges your mind to be tougher and give you a great physique. It is a 24/7, for life sport, often I compare it to running on a treadmill, you don't stop or else you would fall off.

Dieting is the most crucial and one that troubles me the most. I have a big appetite for sugary stuffs. I need to cut all that down, I need to stock up mass, and then to restrict my carbs and fats level per day.

I often compare food as cement and shit. I know its kinda crude. For example, I am a house, if i take in all the good food, I know I am applying cementing to make a strong structure.. but if I take in all those junkies, I would be having shit, would it be secure? And what happens if it rains, would I collapse?

I know people always condemn for what they can't achieve. I train hard, I have my goals, who are they to stop me, who are they to obstruct me. I often get the stares and shit talking behind my back. They just don't get it, the more they talk, the harder I train. I am living the monster that is with me, one that is hungry for the betterment of his mind and the pursuit of the physique he wants.
