How can anyone encourage a "sport" where perfectly normal females are fucking themselves up to the extent they're doing?
And that's your business why again? It's called bodybuilding for a reason. Again, it's their "life choice" to make. If I am asked, I will talk them out of it: there's no money, no respect, and society and small minded kids will take cheap shots at you, and there will be possible long term effects of all the dieting, drugs, etc, etc. BUT, I pass no judgments on them for it if that's what makes them happy.
With male bodybuilding it is often completely reversible if they chose to.
And you know that how again? No, plenty of it is not reversible. Pro NFL players are often literally crippled by the time they are 50. They suffer serious long term "side effects" from the beating their body took. That's the choices they made. High level sports is not about health and it never has been and never will be.
Some of the biggest IFBB pro's that has been around actually look normal when off the gas. Take Levrone as an example.
Good for him. Yes, he looks like a regular guy now, but I know many guys with long term issues. Yes, it takes less a toll on the men then the women, but you don't know half the stuff that happens I assure you.
But male hormones do not do pretty things to a woman. And it's permanent.
Some of it is, some is not. Yes, I tell them all, this is not the path to what society views as what women should be doing, but it's none of your or my business to pass such judgments on either.
