My Quarterly Blood Labs

Both my parents are like that @Poppy @Symarip85 I feel your frustration. My parents idea of eating healthy if grazing all day long on chips and brownies plus eating three meals and at dinner if they have a salad we’ll then they are eating healthy. I gues the salad negates all the other shit they stuff in their cake hole. Both have a ton of medical issues and they have to take a pill for a pill for a pill. The carry around soft side coolers with all their meds. They are like walking pharmacy s. But their are not capable of any kind of activity anymore. And when they visit they fall asleep on the couch sitting up for half the time cause all the meds they are on. I hate it but I cannot make them change. Tried for years.

 

[Poppy]

They’re going to do what they’re going to do.

Yeah the shits frustrating. My dad got the gastric bypass surgery and he had to lose 100lbs before he got it and I told him you don’t need it just keep up with your diet you just lost 100lbs. He didn’t listen and he gained all the weight back after the surgery and then some. He just eats snack bullshit like @Rusty was saying. Breaks my heart but it is what it is. I learned a long time ago you can’t make other people’s choices for them. But luckily this has made a lot of positive changes in my life. And @Poppy i couldn’t agree more, heart attack and stroke are the real enemy. I’m taking a lot of preventative measures in my 30’s that most people don’t even consider till their 50’s or later. The AAS is not great but I try to run my cycles on the lighter side and not do too much damage.

 

[Poppy]

I have an opinion about that…as usual hahaha

Aas cycles run with relatively thought out methods are way safer than narcotics, tobacco booze sugar deep fried food soft drinks cakes candy’s etc… if they aren’t tempered with a bunch (not a little) of moderation.

The average American lifestyle of fast food and video games will freakn kill you!

 

[Symarip85]

I agree 100%. I’m pretty sure my self improvement habit is a damn site better than all of the aforementioned nonsense that people are typically getting into.

 

[Poppy]

You’re on the right track sir. Stay the course. At the very least, your up front diligence will give you a little wiggle room later in life.

 

[Rusty]

Spot on brother. The avg bb has 1 year longer mortality rate then the avg person. And them dudes overuse AASAlot. But they have strict diets and get a lot of exercise and dare I say cardio. Lol

 

[Jonny]

I never would guess BB have a 1 year longer average life then the average person with the way they’ve been dropping like flies lately. They must be using the definition of a BB as anyone who lifts weights.

 

[Jonny]

I would assume the average ifbb pro doesn’t live as long as the average pop.

 

[Poppy]

I would think not unless they pull the plug early enough and drop all that excess mass along with intense health monitoring

 

[Rusty]

Well think of the avg person nowadays. Office job or factory job staying in one place. All the food out there is shit and most don’t know what the hell they are eating. No one gets exercise anymore. Hell me as a fisherman and hunter if I go 20 minutes walking off any major path it’s great cause everyone nowadays is so fucking lazy. Back in the 80s and 90s it was different. But now the avg person is happy with electronics. No need to exert themselves

 

[Jonny]

I don’t disagree with your sediment on the average population. To me it’s amazing the average pop lives as long as they do. It’s just the grams and grams of shit some guys take paired with the ridiculous amount of food they have to eat it’s just crazy not to mention the crazy diuretic protocols some of them use. A lot of people are headed toward an early grave. To me the guys with inferior genetics that still try and become pro are the worst offenders.

 

[Rusty]

rave. To me the guys with inferior genetics that still try and become pro are the worst offenders.

Agreed. There are definitely the elite bbs that take a lot of shit and some don’t make it past 45. Then some do but we are talking avg (which don’t include gym rats like most of us. ). Remember this though. Arnold had an ffmi Of 32. But that wasn’t good enough. Now dudes have an ffmi of 44. Natural cannot go past 27. It’s nuts now. Look at Arny. He is old and still has plenty of muscle and health. Yet he was in the error of experimentation. Now dudes now but they sacrifice their future for now!!!

 

[Symarip85]

Arnold and Lou were also running really light cycles compared to the pros now. Shit bro, most of us are running more gear than the old school guys. Those two maniacs also had the aforementioned superior genetics. Especially Arnold, I still think he’s the product of some crazy top secret SS master race experiment.

 

[Rusty]

Very true
