The majority of people who go to bodybuilding expos don't even lift weights
« on: September 20, 2020, 05:06:22 PM »
Why? I see footage of expos and I'd say over half of the people there are fat people people or skinny college kids. I must be missing something...I went to one about 15 years ago and it was all fit and jacked dudes and hot bikini chicks everywhere. Now it's all fat people...

I wonder about that myself.  I mean...shoot, I'm almost 200-lb now, but I've never been leaner, and I'm going to be a very svelte 175-lb after I diet down for 2-3 months.

So I may have never paid my dues in terms of high level bodybuilding, but I made a decent local competitor out of myself, and I DO train.

Some people at expos...I'm thinking "Do you even have any interest in being inside a gym?"

Maybe there is some intimidation factor at play, preventing them from making the plunge to get healthy.

Don't forget there are people in the business there as well (photographers, journalists, writers etc) and a lot of Schmoes.

And a lot of people who want to start training and become "inspired".

The majority of people who go to any kind of event  rarely are the same type of people who appear at the event. How many people who attend the Olympics are in Olympic shape?

An uncanny ability to make any post end up being about you. Kudos, lol

Most people who go to the gyms don't look like they have ever lifted weights.

Bodybuilding-expos, Wrestling-events, MMA-events, Soccer, NBA and so forth

A lot of people going there are just fans who "enjoy watching", need idols, rolemodels, someone to root for etc

Just like people going to rock-concerts might not be musicians themselves.

Those skinny college kids probably are lifting weights.

The majority of people that go to the zoo aren't monkeys.
