Watching bodybuilding sucks. I mean, let's face it, it's absolutely stupid.
Working out, or as you can say building your body, is a great sport.
there are several reasons for this.
First, you can do it nearly anywhere without very much special equipment. Some dumbells, barbells and you're set.
Second, you don't need friends or other people who annoy you. Ever tried to have a spontanious football or soccer match? Impossible!
But Boybuilding, you can do that with the greates person on the earth, the one you love the most: Yourself.
Third, in bodybuilding, you can
never lose. You pound more weight all the time, grow bigger and bigger, and if you have a shitty day, there are no others who recognize it, so it was just a shitty day. A lost soccer match is a defeat, but in bodybuilding, you can always up the dosage!
Fourth, you can smartass all day with nutrition and you know every medical drug on the market.
So, bodybuilding is far suprior to every other sport ever invented by man.
But watching it?
If you watch a workout-DVD at home, the neighbors think you're into gay sadomasochistic porn because of all the grunting.
Your family wonders why you like watching other men sweating and cuffing. You yourself are sitting on the couch and down that weightgainer that has lots of sugar in it and dream "Yes, i want to be this big one day. Think i have to up the dosage a bit."
Going to conventions and seeing the shows is even worse. While watching other peole train hard may have a certain motivational aspect, watching oiled up men in thongs and women that have more testosterone than a British Dragon storehouse has no sense at all.
Plus, there are many other men that run around with gleamy eyes staring at backs and asses and chests and arms, having their very disturbed girlfriend at their sides (or not), constantly poking them whispering: "Look at this guys triceps!!" "Sick legs".

Now the so called contests have actually nothing to do with sports. It's simply a beauty contest, and beauty lies in the eye of the viewer/judges.
Then buying and watching the magazines...
This is some fetish porn magazine or what?

I mean come one, where is the connection to bodybuilding in this??
Guys dressing up in all the costumes of gay phantasies, the cop, the fireman, the woodcutter, the construction worker.
All the titles read "HARDCORE!" "Manly as hell".
So, after having carefully revised these aspects, i come to the conclusion that building your body is a great thing, but following bodybuilding in shows and magazines is abslolutely pointlees if you're not gay.
