Its easy to loose sight of the enormity of the greats and their achievements on here. I was victim of that, putting everything down to drugs and a gay enterprise. Its a way of downplaying what they have done and how their achievements relate to myself. A coping mechanism of sorts... its no wonder the pro bodybuilding haters are usually the ones with 10s of thousands of posts e.g. gordiano, goatboy, matt c and donkeykong. How could they do all the bodybuilding related activities spending so much time and focus on here?
At the heart of a bodybuilding endeavor there is a notion that you yes you can do something about your physique. Therefore those who have obtained a more complete physique it threatens our own sense of self worth. Many of us deal with these feelings of inferiority in different ways. I will try my best to replace hate with respect.
The reason I decided to make this post is because chasing the dream is not easy. Some of you are so quick to pull the synthol, gh, steroid card like its all that is required and thats easy. Its fuckin hard work... and all of you out there chasing the dream I respect what you are doing and so do many others. Just remember most guys are bodybuilders/body conscious. So deep down the majority of men have to potential to respect and admire bodybuilding success.
