I hear you. But for those who dig big muscle and find it something they think about all day long, these guys and gals are IT. They do it because it makes them feel good. The fans follow them because it also makes them feel good. If you arent into BB and its lifestyle, what are you doing here?
Cheers.
Excellent question! The bodybuilding lifestyle is not only as depicted and lived by clowns like Kamali. There are others who found a balance and have done well as a result. Arnold is the obvious example, but guys like Lee Haney and Lee Labrada also come to mind.
For those of you who think about big muscle all day and you are consumed by it, ask yourself this: do you do it because simply piling on muscle and striving toward physical perfection brings you genuine fulfillment? Or, do you do it because you think that if you reach a level of physical development on par with an IFBB pro, you will then be able to have “the lifestyle”?
If it’s the former, then congratulations! You have found your calling in life and you should pursue it with everything you’ve got.
If it’s the latter, then I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but that “lifestyle” is a complete myth. You are not going have a MTV cribs-like house; you’re not going to have killer ride, or bling bling or fame/fortune or whatever else you think comes from having gross amounts of overdeveloped muscle. Instead, you’ll have a damaged liver, past due payments on your leased Hummer, a shoebox apartment and an inbox full of customer orders for your soiled posing trunks. Don’t say you weren’t warned
