A Workout Epidemic

A Workout Epidemic

If you're a serious lifter looking to maximize your strength, performance, and gains then it's time to consider the new Animal Stak 2. Like all other Animal products, Animal Stak 2 is a comprehensive supplement delivered in individual "packs". Each pack contains effective doses of patented and proven ingredients designed to help you naturally enhance your own body's ability to produce anabolic hormone levels.

I don't feel like myself today. I wonder why? I think I caught a bug that has been going around. It usually only infects stone-cold achievers and champions. I'm shaking… I got cold sweats… Hysteria has set in… I need to be in the gym. "What do you mean your going to the gym… Again!?! You trained 4 times this week. What the hell is wrong with you?"

This is the typical reaction you get from someone who does not know why you do what you do. These people don't understand the bug you've caught, the epidemic that can spread to anybody who wants to succeed in this sport. You got bit by the bug… The Iron Bug that is. This physically demanding hobby now turns into a second job that you know you must go to in order to achieve greatness.

Did you say greatness? You know what? Most dudes would settle for just looking good, but you need more than that. You need to be the freaking best you can be to consider yourself a success. Success… Did you say that? How about you need to be a bodybuilder that looks good. Confused? I think you know what I mean. Performance and consistency is the key and you realize that your hard work will sooner or later pay off (at least for those of you who have what it takes).

You cut out all the bullshit once you step into the gym. You don't want to hear the woman next to you complaining about her boyfriend or the guy behind you on the ab machine talking about the painful hemorrhoid he had a week ago. You go in there to lift weights… To get bigger… To get stronger… To make yourself look like a freak. You want to be there. You know that you don't have to be but you want to.

Everybody looks at you as if you don't belong there… "He is too big. Why does he go so heavy? That is disgusting…" Listen, no one asked for your opinion. Just let me lift weights and be happy because it is the smaller things in life that make me content, things like squatting 700 pounds or dead lifting 500 pounds for reps.

These people wouldn't understand because they never experienced The Epidemic. These upper class snobs go to the gym two to three times a week, do cardio for about a half hour then do a total body workout for 15 minutes thinking that they accomplished something. "I don't want to get too big because, you know, if I did what you did, I would be bigger than you." This coming from a middle-aged man who weighs 160 with quarters in his pockets. Or, listen to this one, "I used to look like you then got tired of being big." You used to look like me!?! You just shake your head, laugh, pretend to give a compliment and then walk away…

A Workout Epidemic So you ask, why don't people understand the addiction and love of doing what you do? Because they never experienced the feeling of it. They don't understand what it feels like for that one day up on stage, the high that comes with it and low that happens the next day… You are back to being yourself, not a winner, but a regular mortal being. They don't understand what it feels like to be the best for that one day… You want it back, but unfortunately you can't explain it to these people because they go home everyday to their mediocre lives… Because they hate the way they look and they don't have the discipline to bust their ass in the gym 5-6 days a week like you do. It is frustrating to them.

Thus they look at you as being different. Yes it is true--men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and bodybuilders are the black hole. Appearance is everything to you--on stage but not in the gym. On stage, you want to look like the perfect physical specimen. In the gym, we sweat, breathe heavily, some of us smell, we grunt and yell (scaring people in the process). You're focused and disciplined enough to realize that this is what it takes to become a champion.

You got to give a little to get a lot. Forget that, you got to give a lot to get a little. You got to give up your late nights out with your friends, going out and getting shit-faced, just so you can go to the gym on a Saturday morning to do legs (who wants to be hung over the day that you have to squat!?!). Other people's opinions do not matter to you, just those 7 judges critiquing your appearance. Because of this, you know there is no looking back-that it takes the will and the addiction to be in the gym and for people to look at you in confused amazement.

Listen, we are not normal people. We do and think things that most individuals just don't understand. Getting excited to go to the gym is not a normal thing. But when you get bit by the bug, it is. You know that each day you train is a step closer to immortality, and one step away from your mortality and morality (yes, there is no doubt that we all have a screw loose). You keep saying to yourself, "One more day, one more rep, 10 more pounds." You better yourself everyday and everyday you train is one step closer to the overall.

A Workout Epidemic Nobody understands it… They can't fathom it. It is an indescribable feeling that makes you feel good (ironic but true), similar to getting laid for the first time. You know it feels good, but you don't know why. How long will this bug last? How long do you strive to be the best is a better question. Do you have what it takes to better yourself every day? Remember, a champion is never satisfied. Thus no aspiring bodybuilder should ever be satisfied.

Always keep in mind that the road to the top is a difficult one, but remaining at the top of the mountain is the most difficult. Everybody is gunning for you… Thus they get addicted. Also, some people, once they reach the top, lose all interest. That is not a champion, just a has-been who never was. Take it from me and be forewarned--this epidemic is not to be taken lightly. It is not for the weak of heart, but for the passionate and disciplined. Catch it, before it passes you by and you are left like the other onlookers who ask themselves, "What is wrong with that guy?" Nothing… You've caught the bug.
