Don’t Be A Spoon Fed Bodybuilder

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the saying
‘ To be fed with a silver spoon in your mouth’
Which basically means to be raised as a child without having struggled like the majority of kids do in this world.
So we can split the world into two types of individuals. That is ‘The spoon fed’ and ‘The hungry’
It’s pretty easy to tell the difference between the spoon fed and the hungry. From the way one speaks, acts and thinks in certain situations.
Example:
Weight Loss
Scenario
A person becomes extremely overweight after becoming filthy rich. They begin to have wild parties and start living a crazy lifestyle. And they simply go over board with all the lovely food the world has to offer. And now they look like this
Marshmallow man
They then decide it’s time to fix the situation for themselves and their families sake.
The Spoon Fed
A spoon fed person will probably start off by doing the ‘right’ thing
- Get a gym membership
- Set up a goal and workout routine
- Lose weight over time
However, there will be a crital stage where things will become tough. At this stage a spoon fed person would give up and probably go the easy route and have liposuction.
The Hungry
Place a hungry person in the exact same scenario,
(Got rich, went a bit crazy, time to fix up)
And I would place a nice bet that they will stick it out for the long haul and lose that weight gradually. Besides, once that milestone achievement has been made they can show off, gloat and even find success from selling their story and teaching others how to do the same thing.
The hungry person would have probably adopted that hunger mentality from a young age too . And over time it just became a fixed asset of their persona through the journey to adulthood.
It’s Better To Give Than Receive
Receiving Too Much Makes You Weak! It takes away your hunger.
The hunger that is vital to have in order to plough through the ups and downs on your quest to build a better body.
Ok, I understand the concept, but what do you mean by ‘spoon fed bodybuilder’?
Well If you take that concept and put it it in the context of a bodybuilder, a spoon fed bodybuilder is one that would naturally lack that killer drive required to take their body to the next level. The drive that most hungry bodybuilders would have.
It is that vital stage in the cycle of bodybuilding where you either stop and quit. Or plough through, when you are
- In the gym late at night, by yourself, struggling. While your friends are out having fun.
Or
- When you need to hit the gym for workout no.3 of the week. Yet you are exhausted after a longs day at work
This is where most spoon fed bodybuilders will stop.
Why?
Because unlike the hungry bodybuilder, they probably never have tasted that natural raw hunger before, and like I mentioned earlier, the hungry types would have had it installed in their being from their youth.
Ok, I’m like… Soooo spoilt. I don’t even know the meaning of the word hunger. Can I become like those hungry folks?
It is possible, but like I mentioned earlier, it is usually stapled into the mind set from an early age. However, circumstance can change that. That alone can drive you towards the hunger mind set that the hungry folks have developed over the years. Because you either eat or die, it’s as simple as that.
So to answer your question. No, you probably won’t be able to turn off the way your spoon fed brain works… Unless you are thrown into a situation by circumstance.
To Conclude
It’s really simple. If you are a spoon fed bodybuilder, you probably won’t follow through with much of the hard work required to build real strength and mass… the stayfitbug.com way. But if you are, success will be knocking on your door very soon if it hasn’t done already.
Which one are you?
