Anyone else see Nick Walker and immediately want to quit working out?

Anonymous 3w

No. Seeing people so unattainably better than you should do nothing but make you train harder. Anytime I feel down or want to skip a day simply because I don’t feel like it, I think about why I started in the first place. It didn’t start as wanting to be Mr Olympia. It starts as watching a “get abs in 5 min” video, or seeing an anime character and wanting to be like them, or being tired of being small and wanting to improve. A single step that became another and another.

The gym is like any other passion, it is driven by emotion. Enjoyment, envy, spite, frustration, sadness, hatred, every single emotion has its place in the gym, every single one a potent fuel you should be using to drive yourself towards your goal. Feeling so powerful that you freight train through your workout, being frustrated that others are so much better than you, sad, hating that you aren’t where you wish you were. Every emotion should push you harder.

He's been enhanced for about a decade and considering you're posting here I'm assuming you're natty or haven't been enhanced for nearly that long. Give yourself credit bro I'm sure you look great

If Nick Walker is 1 million steps ahead of you, take a million steps yourself and you’ll stand where he was when he looked impossibly far away.

He’s a mix of impossible genetics and being dialed 24/7/365 I’ve done my absolute best for over a year not including the other 3-4 years of just lifting and I physically can’t make a fraction of that progress in that amount of time being dialed 24/7. Shit is just frustrating

You’ll go farther chasing an impossible goal than you will chasing an attainable one

I’d rather not get fat. I don’t want my next prep to be a pain in the ass

Every single goal you can imagine has an extremely simple path to take. Simplicity is not to be confused with ease. It’s as simple as eating more, eating more is not easy.

Dawg I’m a bit more advanced than that I’m preparing for my second bodybuilding show. I need a bit more structure than just eating more

Take some time and think about your recent past, if you find that your workouts have been emotionally dull, go back to the basics. Why you started, what you feel now, and bring it to the gym with you from now on

I’m in the same boat, I’m young, I struggle to eat correctly and in proper quantity to align with my goals, I struggle with motivation and the growing online gym influencer presence and the physique inflation that comes with it. I won’t claim to infallible, that would insinuate I have no room to improve, when potential is something that can only be accurately assessed in retrospect

I have a coach and he runs my meal plan. I have structure to meet my needs and that works best from my experience
