mental illness.

Take all those receipts to the Mirage Hotel and put them on ice.

[Bevo]

Insanity

What do u reckon how many grams on average they are running? 4-6 grams?

[WalterWhite]

I just can't imagine taking that much GH and having a consistent supplier has to be tough.  Oh and you forgot slin and synthol.

[ENZO]

It ain't cheap..but it's a fun and challenging hobby. Competitors should have their finances in order 1st so they don't have to resort to fucking grape fruit

Thank god I don't need half those drug costs

[The Scott]

Don't forget the kidney(s)!

[honest]

What kills this sport and those involved is situations happen where a guy with good genetics beats a guy with great genetics as hes prepared to take his drug use to the next level.Its  sad that drugs, dosage and supply has a big input into who wins what once you get the guys at the top.

 But most of the time the stage is just full of guys with low or average genetics taking more than both the good and great combined and still looking like side effect shit. Sports a basket case for non athletes and the insecure.

Priceless

[Powerlift66]

Don't forget posing in front of men 1/2 naked, priceless 

[TheShape.]

No thanks!

[Hulkotron]

Don't forget to subtract earnings from private posing sessions though.

[TristenEsco]

Worth every penny

[pellius]

The only "sport" where money matters more than talent, discipline and dedication. With enough money and access to quality products literally anyone can be a pro. I do mean win the O but just to get a pro card. With enough hgh, insulin and pharm grade igf anyone can be a mass
monster. AAS is of course a given but will only take you so far. The make or break point is how much pharm grade hgh you can afford.

But you still need the talent, discipline and dedication to make it all work. Everyone can watch basketball and football all day long, but if they didn't have the talent in their youth to get drafted in the leagues watching is all they can do.

BB is great in the sense that anyone who's willing to give their all to it can participate and possibly make a name for themself.

Everyone here is obviously infatuated with bodybuilding, I'd much rather be a player then watch from the side lines.

Come now, let us be reasonable.  Bodybuilding is not an athletic endeavor by any stretch of the imagination.  Unless you're counting some fetid form of Schmoe Twister in a seedy off the strip motel in Vegas. 

"Right foot, rectum!" 
"Left hand, scrotum!" 

As Pellius said, with enough drugs anyone can be a mass monster.  Anyone.

Training in and of itself can be somewhat athletic but the end result  is not.  Posing on the dais is far from athletic. It is a pageant, not an athletic event.  It is subjective not objective.   Of course having seen the photo of Coleman backstage with an oxygen mask on, replenishing his taxed reserves from battling it out with others I suppose should make me pause.  Nah.

I am more physical culturist than what passes for what a  bodybuilder is today.  Next year marks my 40th of training.  I've competed a few times too but that was likely long before you were born.  I am old. 

For me, training is about  health, strength, fitness.  Not AAS, Slin and HGH.  I like bodybuilding.  I hate what some have turned it into.  Posing trunks should be not resemble a pouch with dental floss (like something from one of those 50s homosexual rags like "Young Adonis" or the like). 

That's why I am here.

Fair enough. It is a pageant, a pageant you all love.

Jesus, here we go. No, it's not athletic. Squatting on a smith machine isn't athletic, neither are machine curls, leg extensions or almost anything else. It's not an athletic endeavor.

Jesus, maybe they should change the definition so you can be right
