Why do all guys want to be bodybuilders now?

[Anonymous]

You know that it is a life-long work right? From the moment you stop bodybuilding after to have done it several years many problems can occure. You will get saggy/hanging skin because you will lose the muscles after time. You can also have other health problems like failing to have a penis erection, lose in resistance, die because of exagerating your body to work (this occurs quite frequently. Two weeks ago a jogger died after running a marathon, he was a bodybuilder and it appeared he forced his body too much including the intake of cow hormones) etc, and especially if you take (grow) hormones or drugs like 80% (a study revealed) of men who bodybuild. So what is up with this trend? Most people are cheating anyway and its bad for your health. Its purely to boost your ego and physical appearence. Please know that there will always be people stronger, taller and bigger then you. You can never win this battle. Take note if you didn't know this. There are plenty examples of bodybuilders 'gone wrong'. Can't you just be satisfied the way you are and how life works, we all grow old you know.

Why many girls want to be skinny? we all grow old you know, being tall and muscular gives an much more masculine look, and gives more strength, and a men don't have to be bodybuilder to have bigger muscles.

You can't compare that. They have complexes and its diferent in so many ways.. Muscles don't grow like apples on trees. You need to bodybuild.

[Berethor]

Almost everyone know that people need to move heavy things on regular regular basis to again more muscles, but the natural potential to have an bigger muscles also determined by testosterone and health, and that is why young men are the best candidates for an very muscular body. Just because we would all become old geezers in the end, don't means that it's not better to look good at our prime, also you can take example from Jean-Claude Van Damme, at an old age he is no where near the strength and looks that he was having at his youth, and not one is expecting him to, but at least he was having many years of having great looking body, I don't think that Jean-Claude Van Damme was looking much better or worse in old age if he was not working out.

He looks ugly to me tbh..

I don't want to be a body builder, I just wanna have decent muscles, not excessive. Everything that excessive ain't good.

[Asker]

Agreed! Some guys have arms like a gorilla, its ugly.

I dont think most guys want to be the typical "roided bodybuilder" But that dosnt mean guys dont like hitting the gym to get stronger and better looking body.

I have worked out on and off my whole life and I dont have saggy skin or have problems getting a hard on.

You seem bitter. Why?

[Asker]

You don't because you either still go to the gym, play some sport or run or maintain a healthy lifestyle. I go to the gym myself but i don't cheat or want to over muscle myself. I don't get that most guys do it though. The only reason is to say their macho and boost their ego. Some people think its a competition but its really not. You are not better then someone because you have more muscles! And like i wrote, there will be always stronger, taller and bigger people then you unless your Jaws from the James Bond movies. Its a never ending story..

[drewtacular]

haven't hit the gym in over a year.. still no saggy skin (but I wasn't a roid head) No your not better then someone.. but you are stronger and if that is your goal then who cares?

[Asker]

Its about the risks some guys take. Some people really put their health in danger, thats not worth it for me and thats my point. Lets see in 5 years from now if you're skin won't be saggy, if you eat healthy and exercise now and then you'll be ok. I saw examples trust me, what i wrote is not a lie. It just shocked me how ugly someone can look after quitting.

[drewtacular]

well at 48 things might start to sag.. but that probably would happen if I never hit the gym anyway. when you age you dont look as good as you did when you where younger Unless you continue to workout

[Asker]

Ofcourse. That is normal..

[Berethor]

Skin gets saggy with age in any case, so how are you going to know the exact reason?

[Asker]

@Berethor Lets say you quit gym at 30, i asure you at 35 you will have saggy skin. If u go to the gym until your 40 or more then it doesn't matter anymore as aging makes your skin saggy anyways.

[Asker]

I believe this topic even was on 'The Doctors MD' on American tv. Its not like i'm inventing something.

[drewtacular]

So what? If you don't workout when your 30 your going to be scrawny and weak.
