Competitors as Friends

[sassy69]

I have guy friends who are competitors locally and who I visit regularly. I meet up w/ some female competitors at my gym as well but don't really hang out with. Most of my friends are competitors but they don't live locally - when I hit Vegas or travel, these are the people I hang out with.

i have one local friend that competes. my other 3 bffs...1 still competes, 2 competed and are now retired but dont live close.

Yeah, my crew just isn't local either... I have crew up in LA, the OC and even over in Arizona and Las Vegas. I think it is a West Coast thing. I imagine it would also be in FL or NY/NJ too.

Hardly a crew. You sell buckets of over priced powder for your employer. They aren't really your friends

^ keep stirring the pot and youll end up on a perma-vaca.

Just because the things you value are Crayola crayons, Hanna Barbara cartoon DVDs from the 1980s, and the uncut Myley Cyrus Deluxe Greatest hits volumes 1-8 en Espanol... doesn't mean that everything else in the world is overpriced.

I tell you what - I'll take you through a workout and give you some samples of Chain'd Out and WTF so you can enjoy your workout. Afterward we can talk about your nutrition and getting on the path to a better you!

It snowed here for the first time this season. I'm ready to move to Florida...or Texas...both have a great BBing scene.

it was 30 degrees here in Tampa, FL the other night...had to DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD, since there was a layer of ice on it, didn't bring my little scraper from New York cuz I was under the impression I'd never have to use it in Florida.. WRONG!

I have one good friend (who's also a co-worker for the last 8+ years, but we became better friends after discovering our love for lifting). She got into it shortly after I did and just did her first show this fall. I have another friend who I met backstage at a show who I've become close with and sometimes train with. Then I have my Rx friends, many of whom I have met in person and keep in touch with online or meet up with at shows.

Sigh...you guys/gals are all I've got. My husband is extremely supportive of my participation in the sport at whatever level I want to take it to (competitive or not), but admits he's not into it. None of my other friends or family members like it or my involvement in it. Nobody near me understands me.

speaking of myley cyrus deluxe greatest hits en espanol, I'd like to get first dibs on those if possible.

Aside from the people I mentioned, none of my other friends or family members understand me either. It sucks, always having to explain myself and what my diet is like and how much I train, etc... but I have to admit that they do always ask about my shows and let me know how proud they are of me... so that helps.

Aren't you glad you have the Rx family and the internet. I can't imagine the stuff you would go through pre internet. I wonder how those competitors in the 80's and 90's did not go crazy.
