Title: Are Bodybuilders Useful At Anything Else Besides Bodybuilding?
Post by: Fallsview on January 22, 2023, 07:13:01 AM
Goodmorrow,

I was pondering this morning about the sacrifice and career of being a professional bodybuilder.

Bodybuilders can't:

1. play any other sports.
2. lack the ability to write articles for magazines/blogs, most having ghost writers.

Example: Has anyone ever seen a pro bodybuilder do anything fun like skiing, running, kayaking, softball, basketball, etc. etc. ? Anything using lung function besides heavy, laboured breathing when holding a conversation.

The bloated beach carcasses that are today's bodybuilding are about as useful as  tits on a man and calling it a girl or, more apropos, you typing on a forum.

The best bodybuilders money wise have been the ones dabbling in illegal activities. No names mentioned. There may have been a Mr Olympia that has made millions upon millions in UGL steds.

Iain Valliere had just come back from a snowboarding trip on one of the episodes of Fouads podcast I listened too. Modern bb's really are immobile useless messes trapped in muscle suits. The guys in the 90's were the last era to have any look of athleticism to it

kevin levrone looked almost exactly like my music teacher in the face. 2005 i remember he had very catchy themes on his site that I could not get ahold of sadly.

Isn't Jay Cutler a former accountant? I remember those type of exams had my anxiety up before, during, and after them
