Benefits of the Bodybuilding Lifestyle

[Push50]

What are some of the benefits that you have seen in your own life by living the bodybuilding lifestyle?

Self Confidence and Self Esteem. Without a doubt I would say that this is one of the first benefits that I noticed in my own life. Obviously, a clean diet and regular exercise are what precipitated the physical transformation that gave me the boost in self confidence and self-esteem.

I noticed that as I became fitter, I also became more ALPHA and less beta male. My self-esteem rose to a level beyond what I had even had in high school. I found myself to be more approachable to the opposite sex and I also found that I was way more flirtatious than I had ever been. Of course, that also equated to a sex life that goes beyond where I ever thought possible.



How about you guys?

Definitely self confidence and self esteem which led to an increased sex life in my single years. Now I’m old, married, and kids lol

The most important thing I have learned is patience and being present.

I have a disposition to hurry and get things done. I have learned through this lifestyle that the best results come from a well thought out and sensible plan executed over a long period of time..

Being present.... while training for strength I admittedly would go somewhere else in my head for assistance work and just go through the movements while my mind wanderer elsewhere. With physique I have learned I need to be in each set controlling the weight and feeling the muscle stretch and contract that I am trying to target. I have applied this to when I am interacting with others and it had improved my quality of interaction in life greatly.

Married for 32 years, to the same woman, and sex was never this good when we were younger. Absolute benefit!!!

Discipline and consistency were lessons well learned. I applied the same principles i learned through BB ( read ,learn and apply) to my finances and retired in my 50's on more then i was making while working. Turns out i should have retired sooner.

Self-discipline, patience, persistence, steadfastness, perseverance, motivation. And what was stated above, learning to apply it to other areas of life as a result, too!

Confidence and working to goals

Discipline and health are the maon 2 for me. I had Discipline from sports growing up but BB definitely helped me hone it to a new level. Confidence of course is a side effect of good discipline and health.
