why do so many think competing in bodybuilding is a worthwhile goal?

[broken dreams]

i read it so many times on the internet: "what's the point of all that gear when not competing" blablabla this and that "competing"  

"getting ready to step on stage in may" blablabla

etc

all this time they pretend that this magical "competing" is a holy mission

when in reality the average "competitor" is just a skinny loser in a thong and doesnt come nearly close to the top pros who are the only men worth watching in thongs

[ratherbebig]

broken dreams, did you once dream about being a bodybuilding pro and never made it?

why would i dream of being a pro bber when i can dream of being a billionaire oil sultan

[kreator]

what's even more pathetic is that some people think that working out is something special like winnig a nobel prize or finding a cure for cancer

but these "competitors" are even worse, a lot worse

[Bevo]

Mental illness that's why

Huge insecure individuals

i think competing in bodybuilding is a beautiful thing and i think everybody should give it a try

its better to try and fail than not try at all.

there's several of them on this board

they will talk down on anyone, feel superior etc

because they "go on stage" aka prance around in a thong "showing off" their ecto flawed bodies which arent really even that conditioned

epic EPIC delusions

why even try when you are nowhere near pro size

would you compete in powerlifting just to bench 315?

most people competing in anything do that on amateur level.

Ever wondered there are guys that go compete for the ride and not for the finishing line result?

I know a chick who "competes" and she looks like she's never lifted a weight once in her life.

Curious, why did you join a bodybuilding forum if you feel competing has no value to it. You should have joined a knitting forum. Then the sweater you crocheted would have value.

I competed a few times but the feeling like a Zombie on no food while working a full time job was enough.

But if you can diet yourself down and stick to it for weeks on end feeling like that, while still training hard, anything else in life is fucking easy.

[Never1AShow]

Competitions separate the men from the boys.  You do not know how good you are as a bodybuilder if you have never competed.

Not competing, however, allows some to maintain their illusions that they are much better than they are.  See the Big Sean thread, for example.

[Grape Ape]

Competitions separate the men from the boys.

Based on what I've read, it doesn't separate, but quite the opposite.

[Dokey111]

funny I was just thinking this morning if I was a pro bodybuilder, like on the road travelling to a "contest", part of me would feel pretty stupid.

Going to war. In the trenches. Killing it. Blah blah blah. And the fucking lion memes! You live in a house, you eat dinner at a table, you wipe your ass with paper after a shit. You're not a fucking lion!

I just said pretty much exactly this to bbbscmecial or whatever the mongoloids name is in the why be a permabulker thread

The site is called Getbig, not 'get up on stage in a coloured thong looking like an under nourished fucking muppet who could do with actually getting into a gym'

Saying that I plan on competing in bodybuilding for the first time in October. I've won the national powerlifting tons of times, finished top 5 in national strongman so want to prove to myself I'm up at the top in all strength/physique related 'sports'. Will I enjoy dancing on stage in front of hundreds of cooing and cheering men? No. Will I enjoy wearing a thong? No. Will I enjoy dieting and being in the presence of competitive bodybuilding homo wankers? No. But getting one over on these fags with their instagram and designer training clothes, who compare their training and eating to 'war' and some sort of amazing achievement will make it all worth it.

..IT WILL BE GOOD THREAD AS YOU PROGRESS INTO TIGHTER SHAPE IN LATER MONTHS GOOD LUCK...YOUR A TANK I THINK YOU WILL BE PRETTY SICK LOOKING 'SIZE 'WISE...

[Tennisballz]

I can understand someone wanting to maybe compete at a local show for fun, just to have the experience.  Doing it seriously though, I don't understand.  The money is made in the supplements, youtube channels, instagram etc, and you only have to be somewhat lean with some size to get into that side of things.  Keeping your health in mind, there is no reason ever to be a serious bodybuilder.
