Do any of you fellas get schadenfreude when a bodybuilder destroys himself?

[BBSSchlemiel]

Whether its destruction of looks, physique, health, or even life, do any of you feel vindicated when this happens? Being a Getbigger, which means I’m not fully right in the head, I’m guilty of this. Or perhaps I’m not guilty of anything and simply feel this way by people who are so arrogant that they believe they can beat Mother Nature and the Grim Reaper indefinitely.

We all know the examples of this. Through the years we read or hear, “I get my blood work done,” as if checking one’s blood is as good as stopping, and “after next show, I’m coming off and getting on TRT,” which means never coming off and not doing TRT.

I actually don’t wish harm on others but there is something about a man continuing to push his luck with poor decisions, while knowing the consequences of them, that makes one think, “serves you right”.

Thoughts?

Hahaha not so much bodybuilders but famous rich people I do enjoy when they get fucked. Prob just me being jealous.

[IroNat]

It's human nature to find joy in another's misfortune.

[Fortress]

I just marvel how I once aspired to become one of them.

It all seems so ridiculous.

I thought tough training and clean living was the path to O glory.

Hahaha

We were all naive in our youth.

I like that too. I think many celebrities are perverts and scumbags who deserve comeuppances.

I wanted to also.

Yes, but I don’t like misfortune happening to good people.

[michael arvilla]

Opposite ..... when I see an old bodybuilder looking good I'm relieved!  (It can be done I think!)

Yes, but think about what if that happens to you?! Karma has a way of doing that. Best not to revel in other's misfortune. I know it is tempting. I'm guilty of that also! But then I put myself in that situation. I remember in high school I got into a lot of fights. A crowd would gather and jeer and the two of us fighting would be in the trenches getting it done. Then one day my buddy ended up on the receiving end with people cheering and jeering while his ass was on the line in a fight. He told me afterward, that now he knew how I felt.

I get no sigmundfreud from bodybuilder's self-destruction. They're powerless slaves to timed, measured, and weighed meals confined to tupperware containers, and receptor-extinguishing pharmaceutical regimens.

Nah

I felt sorry for Greg Plitt, and sorry for Column Von Mongrel

Not sorry for Bradley Martin when he fights an MMA fighter tho


I'm certain George Farrah is happy that King Kamali lost his right arm though, since Tamali pushed Farrah around on stage

[Lartinos]

Having BB genetics would have just been terrible for me.

Not having that meant I needed to be a businessman, which is probably most of these guys longterm dreams any way.

Whether I want them to fail usually depends on how they lived their life.

For example these athletes telling people it’s cool to get injected I hope they get rocked on the football field.

WTF??? I love seeing someone succeed. Why would you find joy in other people suffering?

I lived the BBing lifestyle for over 15 years.

My entire life revolved around working out, eating and injecting PED's.

I got big and strong but soon realized that it's all temporary and i was never going to get anything back from it.

I don't wish ill will on many people but i find the current state of BBing hilariously stupid.

They make it way more difficult than it needs to be, just to get sympathy and attention. They are not the iron warriors of decades passed.

The drug abuse, injecting oil into their muscle bellies and outright lying 100% about what it takes to be their size makes me glad when they get ill or have a health scare.

It's not like a Motocross rider who wipes out and snaps his leg in half, everyone knows the risk of jumping a dirt bike 120+ feet; these guys are a different breed living in a house of cards that will fall one day.

All of these guys lie their ass off to sell useless supplements and workout routines to attract young impressionable men to believe the lies. And they get rich off snake oil and stupid workout routines that mean fuck all for the average person. Weighing their chicken and rice, oh brother.

So, in a way when i watch these guys horrendous "day in the life of" videos, i laugh my fucking ass off because i know they are miserable by choice and will die by 50. They mask their insecurities in PED's and rec drugs. Have no life and fry their organs over a plastic trophy.

I mean just look at the top 10 Mr O contestants' videos online, there are only 1 or 2 that can form a complete sentence.

I saw a tourist get mauled by a Buffalo in Yellowstone. He had it coming and I thought it was hilarious.

Thanks for the post.

I actually felt depressed after watching the few day-of-eating videos.

His wife would like to see Oak succeed at shitting properly...

I feel sad for their stupidity, specially when they ignore warning signs of early demise. Why did they wasted their life that way.

[ProudVirgin69]

Honestly, no.  Hearing about their health problems only reminds me of my mortality.

I get a kick out of them portraying themselves as tough guys or rockstars, when in reality the general public sees them as steroid addled freaks.

Did you beat Bhanky?

Schadenfreude Of Peace   

[Taffin]

Depends - Ronnie is a bit slow but seems like a nice enough guy, so I feel something

But I laugh my ass off over and over again at the King of Asymmetry... both at the ridiculous waste of all that money and his decrepit limbs
