 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22055 posts | I'm lighter and a little weaker (although not much due to the effectiveness of my strength retention methods) than I was as an also-ran strongman... and that is fine. In fact, I'm really quite content  Anyone else found contentment at a reduced level? | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17890 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | If you are lucky enough to find contentment you should grab it with both hands. It's an elusive thing but it is well worth having. Hope you enjoy it. | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6843 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | I am lighter than I once was, and significantly weaker. I can no longer play about with the weights I once did, but that is ok. I've stopped pretending I can do what I was once able and changed the focus of what training I manage to get in. I have added running to my life, as well as a bit of flexibility and stretching. All in all I feel pretty healthy, fairly happy with how things are, despite it being a world away from what I used to be. | ||

 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 20.11.2015 @ 15:17 PM by PeteHodgson I too am lighter and weaker. But in better nick and fitter. Always room for improvement obviously. I'll always want to be bigger and stronger and leaner, but, when I was bigger and stronger I was fatter and less fit.So I'm pretty content. But still trying to improve anyway. Lol Could be a lot worse. Could be smaller, weaker, and fatter and unfit. Eeewww | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Wayne_Cowdrey said:Anyone else found contentment at a reduced level? Don't know. I don't lift what I used to, but I cycle, run, swim, box what better than I ever have. I'm a lot closer to abtastic than I was 10 years ago and a fair bit more confident of surviving the next few years than I was then. Content? No - I want more. Reduced level? Depends how you view 'level' and of what. That said, I can still appreciate a friendly faced weather girl. | ||

 Walk your talk Member 5, 25558 posts Administrator | Could be a lot worse. Could be smaller, weaker, and fatter and unfit. Eeewww. Granted, I is fit but I am much smaller , much weaker ...undecided about fatter. I know this is strange, but after 2 weeks jury service I have a very strong urge to become a bit bigger and a bit stronger YOU're A TIGER | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25558 posts Administrator | Holy s**t , it was interesting !! and not getting up at 4:30 ...but instead getting up at 7 and wandering to the train station after the kids went to school ...much like your easy life may I say that IF you are a female on the wrong end of a sex attack , you have got f**k-all chance of a conviction , its no wonder they don't come forward , I couldn't believe the attitude of my fellow jury members , I hope non of them f**kers gets what this girl got !! I felt the need to be a bit more muscular so I can FIGHT EVIL !! (its just how I felt) | ||

I went down to 86kg last year in a fit of female induced insanity.. hated the loss of strength and how teenage and lame it is to go all aesthetic for a woman. so here i am back at 104kg or so day to day weight and far more content lifting big weights for my own personal enjoyment. | ||

 'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | iv loads of weight. I don't even know how weak i am because i havnt been testing my strength even slightly with my new method of lifting. I am enjoying being aesthetic though, it makes life much better. | ||

I'll see how i feel about competing when every competition has long stopped being a guaranteed PB total and i've had a few more injuries. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | little_a said: Depends how you view 'level' and of what. Well put Lemon Fresh. My main goals still involve lifting so no I definitely would not be content with a reduced level. For a few years I've been at a reduced level and it isn't fun. I'm pretty sure in 10 years or so when I begin to decline the choice between staying the course or "going on" will be an easy one. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | I've gained a lot of size (fat) and strength. Now I am looking to get back to a decent body composition. Most likely will lose some strength, but that is ok. | ||
