Untertrieben
Das ist imo das mit beste BB-Buch überhaupt. Ich beneide ihn einfach um diesen geilen, kalifornischen BB-Lifestyle, der damal gelebt wurde. Auch sonst, kann man in dem Buch ne Menge lernen
Vorher hatte er wohl auch schon seinen eigenen Munich-Lifestyle kreiert. Einfach nur köstlich, wie er davon schreibt, dass er immer mit ein paar Mädels und einem Trainingspartner in den Wald gefahren ist, um den ganzen Tag in der Natur zu trainieren und zwar in jeglicher Hinsicht:

It was a great time. We cooked shish kebab, sat around the fire, and
made love. We got into this trip that we were gladiators, male
animals. We swam naked out in nature, had all this food, wine
and women; we ate like animals and acted like animals. We got
off on it so much it became a weekly routine—eating fresh meat
and drinking wine and exercising. p. 85
Dann beschreibt er, wie sie nachts betrunken weiter im Wald trainiert haben...

We worked hard but we had a good time. After the
muscle-shocking sessions we drank wine and beer and got drunk
and carried on like the old-time weight lifters back in the 1800s
or early 1900s. Sometimes it became pure insanity. We'd grab up
the weights again, but we were weaker because of the beer, and
the weights would fall back over our heads. Or we'd get them
down on our chests and wouldn't be able to press them on up from there and someone would have to lift them off for us. p. 84f.
Aber genau dadurch hat er sehr viel gelernt:

That was the first time I knew pain could become pleasure. We were
benefiting from pain. We were breaking through the pain barrier
and shocking the muscle. We looked at this pain as a positive
thing, because we grew. p.85
Faszinierend, dass man das erst lernt, wenn man bereits einmal Mr. Universe geworden ist.

Aber das waren halt noch andere Zeiten. #popcorn
