i wouldnt call bodybuilding a sport, cuz its a life style. much more complex and time consuming and intricate and costly than any sport.

Bodybuilding is a drug habit. (Take the drugs, feed the ego = ADDICTION)

Bodybuilding is a charade.

Bodybuilding is drugs, oil, thongs, perverts, and obsession with masculinity.

You know, there is such thing as simultaneously seeking and finding "truth."

The pursuit of truth. ("Seeking" should be endless.)

you should try not to use the word "is". try it. it SEEMS fantastic. (as opposed to "it IS fantastic" )

= denial of facts = denial of reality = mostly accurate

(I can see what you're getting at, openmindedness is what allows continued learning, the assumption of definate truth equals close-mindedness, but I believe what I stated about seeking and finding equals truth.)

if you are still seeking once getting to a certain point of consciousness then you are still in the process of obtaining further truths suggesting your previous comprehension of truth may not necessarily be correct at any point in time

The point is, you should always continue to consider that there may be alternative courses with anything. Alternative courses of action, alternative ways in which things may work, alternative ways of doing things, etc... if you view the world as if everything is at least possible, you will learn far, far more than accepting "truth" then closing your mind off from all other possiblities.

(Again, I agree with his statement for the most part, BUT, I also believe in progress and the fact that a definate REALITY is what makes progress possible.)

whats wrong with doing it for vanity reasons? it will never let you down.

and you have to admit - the workouts are satisfying.

haha holy shit that picture of ron and melissa is great

james001 couldn't agree more my friend, at the end of the day whilst your rewards from your efforts will differ from person to person they will still be there. For most this is maintenance of what they already have but for others there are improvements and this can bring satisfaction along with the rewarding workouts.
