Title: Be Honest: What Do You Enjoy About Bodybuilding?
Post by: Fallsview on November 21, 2017, 12:35:07 PM
Goodmorrow!

We know why Matt C. Vince Goodrum, PrimetimeMuscle, etc. etc. enjoy bodybuilding and bodybuilders but we don't know what the normal, everyday user/member of GetBig.com enjoys about the Super Sport Of Professional Bodybuilding.

So post up!  Is it the bodybuilders? Is it the brotherhood of iron? Is it the blood, sweat and tears? Is it the excitment?


STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as weird as it may sound, i enjoy watching training footage and gyms.

pumping iron and blood n guts are worth watching, where as arnold and dorian posing are not.

I've always loved the 70's gym footage, training and gyms like Funk and Rob mentioned.
Plus my training, after 40 years, my love of training has never even slightly diminished.

I’m not a bodybuilder but what I love about lifting is the skin splitting pumps.It feels so good.26 years and it still feels the same if not better.when younger I mostly did reps 3-8 and never got crazy pumps but as I’ve gotten older the reps have gotten much higher and I feel the muscle so much more and the pumps from a controlled set of 30 reps is 10 fold.

Fun, feeling strong, the movements, better shape, etc.
And yes, making fun of it is really nice - many people don't realize that making fun of something shows care and fascination... and bodybuilding despite all oddities is a fascinating activity.

I enjoy the journey to the competition. Seeing your body change almost daily towards the end. The hard work and dedication that you know that most people can not do to achieve that look. As I get older the competition s are what o hate the most. U go to show as see the arrogance and attitudes of these younger ppl. For most its all they have. You see the promoters over charging making thousands off kids on dreams that one they might get a pro card.

I like the expression of a work ethic in the gym. If I am honest I like looking good. I'm nearly 60 and 99% of guys my age look like old men. So many guys around my age are delusional and think they are still looking good but they are a mess.  Bust my balls all you want but I like the attention from women.

If I get top six in my weight class at the strongman nationals, is that enough for blue stars?  Or do you need to turn pro, which would mean winning my weight class?  Or is it strictly bodybuilding only?  I could swear Mike Wolf had blue stars for being a pro in strongman.

I'm not sure if merely having ok success in the amateur ranks is enough.

Lifting heavy weights in good form, challenging myself, looking and feeling better, being very strong even at 57. Lost a lot of interest in the competitive end, too many drugs and bogus divisions.

I like the lies. Ignorance is bliss. I loved basketball but my height and genetics took me as far as making a college team...I was never going to go further no matter what...the genetics of height and quickness were just a brutal reality.

Then you just stop progressing...you watch pick up basketball and no one ever gets better..bunch of fat slobs fighting and arguing over calls..its just boring because everyone pretty much kmows they are just park hacks..

But the wonderful lies of bodybuilding keep it interesting..that "magic stack"...you just haven't found yet..

That magic special "anabolic chicken" in kuwait.

The new radical workout..from mentzer saying train once a fucking month to Pianas feeder workouts every day

Up the protein..cycle the protein...no carb..low carb..cycle carbs...all bullshit unless you have the genetics but the lies keep it fun...

Theres always some bullshit to keep you thinking you can get that look you first saw on the magazines..but you never really do unless you have the genetics

But its still fun that the lies make it "possible" in your mind...no other sport like it.

Like I said, Ignorance is bliss....why retarded people are always smiling and laughing.
