At least..... 10 types or classes, not all are 260 pound mass monsters, or 300 if you are big Rammy.

Can confirm.

Unfortunately I also sucked at bodybuilding, and my LDL and liver would just LOL if I even looked at blueberry Hi-C.

didn't realize a guy could make a whole career out of cruising quinceañeras to groom 15-year-olds for sex without tipping off their parents but OK

Bodybuilding is just cringe. Yeah bro lets do a bunch of steroids, eat, and then lift things up and put them down and then go stand on stage all oiled up in a thong and do homosexual poses.

Much easier to hate on bodybuilders than top level athletes in real sports. Because bodybuilding is just comical at this point with how massive these guys are and how ridiculous they look.
you are playing the fool on this one Bradley


calling bodybuilding not a sport and making the logical conclusions you are is about the same as saying 'football players arent real athletes they just eat like garbage and throw a football around and tackle each other, theres no skill in that"

thats EXACTLY how your view is of bodybuilding VS what bodybuilding at a professional/elite level REALLY is.

That other post you made stating the "cardiovascular endurance, blah blah blah" attributes it takes for each sport, I guarantee you for the non genetic anomalies, its about 5% drugs and 95% knowledge, dedication, discipline, and everything else that it requires to be a professional athlete in any other sport.

The modern ones usually look well into their mid 40's while being in their early 20's. Just lol at throwing away your youth so recklessly.

bodybuilding was a means to an end; get into hollywood, get girls, live the lifestyle etc.
now its fukcn cringe the whole instagram cesspool of 'admire my greatness I built some muscle'

Mental health problems srs. No reasonable intelligent person would ever seriously consider it

Maybe different back in the day when there wasn't so much drugs and the guys actually looked aesthetic
