That is SO true! Last time we went there was one other couple in better shape than us and probably 20 years younger, all they were doing was posing on the beach and taking pictures of each other, everyone else was badly out of shape as you said.I used to get conserned about how I’d look on holidays, but my wife said something once.
‘We didn’t go on a holiday so people could look at us, we did it so we can have fun, so who cares if we are ripped’
Just go have fun and don’t care if you get bloated. Everyone else will be badly out of shape. The few times I went in damn good shape, it was almost worse because you knew people were looking, and then you were on show. Now I just go normal and have fun.
I don’t even train on holidays. Eat drink and do whatever I want, the gym will be there when I get home.
Even my wife’s cousin who we met there considers himself a bodybuilder and he had a big distended gut because he was “bulking”
I don’t intend on training at all. I commute to work year-round on my bike, combined with lifting I often get burnt out so I keep the volume low and whenever I’m sick or on holiday I just do nothing.
Good point man, thanks, just read your post to my wife
