Well I'm just not fixated on the numbers game, I'm at an age where you get past that and realise this whole 'get big' thing is a con.
The sooner you realise that, the sooner you'll no longer be body-dismorphic.
You refuse to accept the effects a well developed physique and the character qualities it takes to get there have on other areas in life. Partial analysis is fine for single minded fools, and you fail to see the repercussions hard work in the gym can have on a persons character+++, which again will shape a lot of his life. Also, training = enjoyable, thus, it helps maximize the daily enjoyment of life.
In the global perspective, simple "numbers" in chess, training, bank account, test scores ++ means a lot, yet they might seem pointless if you focus your lens on the numbers themselves without seeing the bigger picture.
Many things such as becoming proficient at any activity can seem pointless to the simple humanoid. But the intelligent few knows the power of Gary Busey.
