I do.

At times, I thought I could really roll with just bodybuilding as my main fan sport and active hobby.
But, alas, my interest fades in and out. I need all my other sports ( NFL, MLB, MLS, etc) or I'd go crazy from boredom.
C'mon , how many versions of Jay's chest workout after jumping in his home pool can you watch? LOL

Maybe , bodybuilding shows have to be few per year to keep our interest?
Perhaps, it's like competing in more then 1-2 shows per year...you quikly get burned out?
Unlike other sports with a full season and playoffs, bodybuilding seems best suited to one shot deals.
I've heard bodybuilding is like the circus. It's fun when it comes to town once per yr .
Thoughts?

For me the enjoyment and worth is in doing it myself. Not watching others.

I do like following the pros progress but I'm in it for me, not to spectate.

I get bored of eating though.

I enjoy the training. Never tire of that, if I miss workouts I get edgy, cause it eases daily stresses.
Lost interest in BB when Haney retired. I still like to watch some older footage once in a while (70's BB and PL).

This modern shite is just plain retarded...

Other things are getting more important, but I try to keep it up. Latelybthat seems to work out well. And I always feel great after a satisfying session.

Only when a burnout, then I take a step back for a week.

I try to watch the Olympia but not even half way through it I'm bored out of my mind.

I've been training forever but that is also tedious. If I go for a run I come back feeling on top the world both mentally and physically. That also goes for biking and swimming. After lifting I just feel tired and spent.

Bodybuilding is the life
It's battle
It's war
It's not for the weak

Do I get bored with it?
Yes.
But not enough to pick up any other interests really.

Could always try and run a faster mile, but that would mean being able to run a mile to begin with. Meh...

No because it's not a sport.

There is no comparison with bodybuilding and pro team sports. I would watch a replay of a Week 3 match-up between the NFL's two worst teams before tuning in (if it were possible) to a live bodybuilding competition...with the exception perhaps of the Arnold and Olympia. But live football game vs. live bodybuilding, I'm onto America's Game all day long.

The part of bodybuilding that I find interesting is the every day lifestyle aspect of it, not the contests.

Got bored in '99 and not watched another 'contest', a video or bought and read a mag since. Every few years I would see one on the magazine shelf and page through it and see the same shit I saw in the mid 90s, just different faces and bigger stomachs. I've left bodybuilding as a 'sport' well behind in the previous millennium. Now as for bodybuilding training, I still dabble in that but my aims are completely different.

Same experience for me. I really get a rush from intense , quality cardio type work outs now.
I also enjoy hikes and watching various pro sports .
