I'm always amazed by the amount of people who discredit bodybuilding at any chance on this bodybuilding board. Mind you the 'closeted bodybuilder' never claims to be a bodybuilder in real life.
"What sport do you play?"
"err ummm I lift weights"
"What for... just to stay healthy?"
"yeh... I suppose"
"good for you"
Meanwhile the fucking guy probably busts his ass in a gym, knows all the pros, uses supplements and follows nutritional advice... but can't muster up the courage to be associated with bodybuilding...
I suppose now the people who didn't engage in a particular sport in their youth can cling onto MMA. Just watch it on TV, have a little discussion knowledge here and there... attend a few classes.... and bang! you are no longer a 'closeted bodybuilder'. Heck! you don't even have to go the steroid route because your skinny self can be defended through the middleweight, lightweight divisions. So then you can come on here and defend all those small fighters in the UFC etc... and then discredit any successful bodybuilder and the notion of bodybuilding itself.
