FAQ Posted by J.R.Smith, c.p.f.t. I used to be an obsessive, supplement-popping exerciser like you. Fitness is great.
Exercise is great.
However, if your pour every smidgen of your energy and potential into it, you will become shallow and anal-retentive at best, an injured and hopeless wreck at worst. I discovered sculpting. It gave me an activity to put my energy into that didn't revolve around pushing my body to the limit at all times. Interestingly, my art grew out of my interest in the body. Far more fulfilling endeavors than seeing every striation on your rectus abdominis are probably staring you in the face right now, if you only change your perspective.
