[@nowfel9247]

When you spend most of your life on a somewhat strict diet, and you find yourself, day and night, being asked to eat as many meals as possible, you will certainly be happy.

[@ufchighlights1]

Body dysmorphia is crazy

[@DariusJones05]

It’s all relative to peers or personal image

[@masterkenobi1787]

@@ufchighlights1 I don''t understand body dysmorphia. I am objectively fat. I got them stretch marks. I am pale like a ghost. I go to the gym and try my hardest to earn a better body. I have more reason than all these bodybuilder types/ shredded guys to have hang ups about my body. I don't though. I mean I wouldn't wanna go shirtless but I'm not depressed about my body. I know I am a fat fuck and I don't really care it doesn't bother me mentally. I'm like insecure but 100% confident which makes no sense. Why do people 100X more "fit" than I am have these problems. Im not even mentally tough cus i had depression and anxiety for years. I really dont understand.

[@buhlashio]

@@masterkenobi1787bro everyone is different, your comment makes no sense. If you dont feel like this it doesnt mean that nobody else feels like this

[@cashhoutsaint5717]

@@masterkenobi1787 the natural consequence of taking the gym/bodybuilding seriously is focusing on what parts of your body need more attention. when all you see on your body is places that need improvement, you feel small. there is also the comparison of oneself to others on social media. we see ourselves in good and bad lighting bc we live with ourselves. but when we look online, all we see are the highlights of fitness influencers. absolutely nothing against them, if i were an influencer i would post my best photos too. but that leads to us comparing our average lighting physique to the guy on insta whos got a pump and is under crazy lighting. hope this helps

The conversation at minute 13 would actually make for an awesome video in like 6 months. Just talking about how your body adapted (pros and cons) and what that journey was like. Maybe some stuff you would have changed or even learned. Possibly even talking about blood work and hormone levels adapting.

[@yanniblumstein1]

Nah there are too many other crazy guys who set some standards. I doubt he will ever get to this point. I don't see him stand a slightly chance even in some years against freaks like Hadi or Samson. Even get to the top 10 open Olympia should be very very hard.

[@hustler3577]

@@yanniblumstein1 I don't feel it that way,he has great structure, developed/mature muscles with striations,he has great posing,great presentation & charisma,can get more conditioned than open guys, probably less weak poses overall....Now if we talk about his weakness than it's just overall density & fullness especially in back,which is achievable in 1 year becz he is CBum 🐐 afterall 🗿

[@X3Vort]

@@yanniblumstein1 You forget Cbum is a genetic phreak, his body reacts so well to food, gear and traning, If he want's he can pack on tons of muscle in a year, and what he will really love is that he don't need to make a strict weight and starve himself as an Open Athelete. This next show will really make up his mind.

Aside from also working as much as i can to make sure my family has what they need and want. My sleep is well whenever i can and as much as i can get at night lmao. I dont regret having my family but I watch these videos and hope all the best for you Chris. And one day i can get back to the roots too but if anyone can recommend a good online coach too??
