If you ever prep to compete you will realise that the bigger and ripped you are, the smaller you feel, and you keep wanting and needing more and more. Mental illness.

stepping on stage and flexing muscles in front of strangers really takes the cake in mental illnes, it's even worse with women who take part in such activities

If this is 1956, does that mean all those guys are natural?

And what looks to be two black guys in the pic. One competing and one in the audience.
Bodybuilding, the most integrated "sport" back then?

Probably so,but most good black bodybuilders (and there were a lot of them) got placed unfairly.

Look up Ken Covington and Rock Stonewall just to name 2 who always got screwed.

Yeah but bodybuilding, like sprinting or long distance running, eventually yielded to a meritocracy (based on genetics).

Except for Victor in 07... and Oliva... but otherwise it has been International Federation of Black Bodybuilders lately.

Good builds. All they were doing back then was mostly basic compound exercises.

As far as I know they weren't available until at least 1958.
