  This is not a sport it's beauty contest. Everyman and his dog wanted to be a DJ, then a body builder, then insta famous, now a streamer. Vapid world we live in. Get fit for your own sake. Stop supporting bro science by bodybuilding.

    You're right dude, bodybuilding is broscience and just a passing fad!!

    Ever heard of Eugen Sandow, Steve Reeves, Larry Scott, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Lee Priest?

    Virtually every professional athlete in virtually every athletic sport utilises bodybuilding training and nutrition principles. Bodybuilding training is a sport, posing is an art, judging is a pageant and the pursuit is a lifestyle.

    I understand that this is not everyone's cup of tea, but why do you need to put others down?

      That's it it seems to be the everymans cup of tea in my experience. Bros still rattling off their benches, injecting their stacks, talking about how tough and jacked they are. I just hate the way it idolises this vapid culture of if your pale skinned your wrong, if your not muscley your wrong, if you don't have big ass and tits your wrong and all the broscience that goes with supplements and roids. Bodybuilding didn't create these principles either, the science behind nutrition did as it's peer reviewed facts not from bb dot com.

      I hate the game not the players. I strength train and see so many of my peers wasting time and money dabbling in roids, test boosters, fat burners, timed shakes and the like and get nowhere but cause health issues and then they love where I get to with minimal consistency. Yet they don't believe a word I say and still fall into the supplement industry traps.

      Bodybuilding training is a sport, posing is an art, judging is a pageant and the pursuit is a lifestyle.

      I like this but how is bb a sport? I dont consider personal strength training a sport, but at least with strongman, powerlifting etc there are defined goals.

        Publishing and peer reviewing something doesn't cause it to be effective, it only confirms that it is. Bodybuilders are at the forefront of experimentation.

        The medical fraternity was still espousing that anabolic steroids don't work, decades after bodybuilders were using them to great effect.

          @Scrooge McDuck: I don't necessarily think that large scale self medicating of unregulated steroids is a great idea. Sorry for hating just see many issues around the bodybuilding ideal than the sole act of wanting to be stronger/healthier. If studies were done on regulated use of roids we could eventually know the long term risks and mitgate or remove them helping everyone.

          I know too many young men that juice up to help them start and win drunken sat night fights. That said I also know of an individual who used the strength gained from inconsistent bb full split program and the occasional dose of clen to elevate his life from blue collar lower middle class to high middle class entrepeneur.

          Neg all you want I feel bb is a symptom of our narcissistic culture but this probably isn't the place to attack it.

            @abuch47: What about people that go to the gym to change their lives to be more healthy…

            It sounds like you have the roid rage!

              @Schmendrick: You don't go to the gym to pose.

              And arquably worse for health if you do, mental health that is.

              That said if it that's what you need to get you into a healthier weight it's definitely a net positive. We seem to be breeding narcissism these day.

              Roid rage is also a myth perpetuated by those that don't understand gear. We know so much about it yet the long term health effects are not well known because it's an illegal unregulated market.
