 Your living your dream buddy, never forget that! Member 1873, 923 posts SQ 260, BP 165, DL 335760.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Most guys on here can call themselves strong, and some are even World class Strength Athletes! But when is being strong enough? Every time I hit a PB I think about breaking the next one. I'm never satisfied with what I can lift, I'm always wanting more. I can honestly say I will never stop trying to getting stronger (as long as I stay injury free) so when is being strong enough for you? | ||

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | It's a perfection based sport and hence you're never going to be entirely satisfied in training. I'm sure most people on here are exactly the same. Hit a lift they've wanted for years and then immediately think "Meh!" It's part of the reason I love having my log as I can see how my own perceptions have changed over the years! | ||

Even if I won the Olympics, I'd be back in the gym for the next time around trying to ge stronger/faster etc. And if there wasn't another time, I'd still be trying to always beat myself in the gym, although I reckon other things may take precedence in my life  | ||

 Morrisons - rump - 7£ Member 2206, 11578 posts SQ 228, BP 150, DL 260638.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | It's f**ked up! Leading up to a pb, the level of satisfaction i expect is tremendous. As soon as said pb is achieved, any satisfaction is gone. When i logged 125 or squatted 220, both long time goals, a sense of disappointment almost immediately followed | ||

 'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | when i deadlifted 250kg i was very satisfied. that was the weight i set out to achieve before i ever lifted. i still want 300kg now but if i died tomorrow i would die happy with my deadlift. my other lifts i dont really have specific numbers about which to care | ||

 When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | I thinking people (including myself) will say they will never be satisfied. That's what keeps us all in this game. That's why people get bitten by the bug I think. How can you go into a gym 3 times a week and train without craving for self improvement? If I didn't crave that, I couldn't train. I certainly couldn't train just for the sake of being healthy and doing a little bit to keep in good nick. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | In life you're going to have your family and your job, those things are always going be there. But the gym is something you do just for yourself, you should always make some time for the hobbies which are just for you in life. I love just being in the gym and working out, and for a brief period of a year when I didn't I felt like s**t, didn't feel like myself. | ||
