Our society on a whole is dominated by an "easy button" mentality, technology has made incredible leaps forward, now your phone is a handy pc/tv/information gathering tool. I can still remember fucking rotary phones as a kid.
This technology is advancing quite quickly...people I have noticed thing that losing weight, and gaining muscle is all about some easy trick, they see someone who has muscles or is fit and they think, so they must have some fitness app, or short cut drug, somehting Dr Oz suggested must really be working for them.
By the way I hate Dr Oz, he fills the fucking lazy peoples heads up with ideas that this African Mango or this Saf Slim will take off years of lard gathering at the local yougurt shop or burger joint.
Really thats the thing, the human body is not a technological thing its a biological one so people want to feel like a more attainable physique is within reach.
Technology is advancing at break neck pace the human body is practically standing still, milenia of evolution and were still not that far from paleolithic people. People think because technology has advanced and gotten easier to use that the human body must have gotten easier to get in shape...as we all know, wrong!
People want Something EASY, way easier than being 240 with 3% bodyfat for sure.
Honestly bodybuilding is not a sport for everyone and Im glad that it isnt. Personally I believe that bodybuilders for the most part have a unique perspective, drive, passion and dedication. Bodybuilders have the work ethic that most people dont have anymore, they are the opposite of lazy, they are possessed in some cases with a singular goal.
I look at the people out there who have nothing, they get up every day like some drone and follow the same monochromatic lifestyle everyone else they deem 'acceptable' does. They are either to scared or too lazy to be different.
Bodybuilders are different by choice. I like that people dont get what I do, I dont give a shit what they think honeslty.
They think all I do is drugs, and that I am some meathead good for them.
Because I watch them wallow around like beached walruses every day shoving shit down their throats killing themselves with a much worse poison than any steroid will ever be.
A dying breed? Maybe. Thats fine by me, I'll die along with it, but I refuse to be like them.
