Why do people in this industry

[gordiano]

Constantly lie?

From, "I'm natural", to "this is the greatest supplement I've ever used....", to "I squatted 600 lbs, for reps, when I was thirteen".....


WHY lie so much? Insecurities?

[Coach is Back!]

Its the internet, do you actually think they would claim that in person?

[johnnynoname]

you're dealing with people who have to overcompensate for whatever demons they have by making their muscles VERY big so is it a shock that they lie about their lifts as a means to shelter their fragile egos?

why do people in the bodybuilding industry lie so much?  

because no lies = no industry

[Blockhead]

 Being a LIAR and being in the bodybuilding industry goes hand in hand.


 The pie is very small and so many people want a slice so they will say whatever they have to say to make it seem like they have themselves a piece of it but in reality they do not.

 Most of it has to do with sex and fitness skanks. It is a known FACT that if a fitness skank thinks you can help her make new contacts or do something for her that she will give you her ass. So bodybuilders, connected or not connected will say whatever. Not so different than the real world but it's pretty obvious in the bodybuilding industry.


 Aslo... male bodybuilders always want to make themselves out to be bigger and more important than they really are.

They get away with it. Everybody should just call out the liars, no matter who it is.

In defence of some of the individuals, but not the industry, the companies feel the need to bend stats sometimes to seem more impressive. Cormier once said he remembered reading some trainign style of his where he did 10 sets of 10 on 405 on squats or something, when he's never done any such thing and he though wtf are people writing this stuff about me for? I guess it help muscle-tech sell 127% more grains of sh!tty powder per square bodybuilder?
