The only thing I think Dante got wrong in that post is that he referred to bodybuilding competitors as "athletes".
Modern day bodybuilding is some wild, WIIIIILD shit.
Exactly the type of wild, fun, fast living type shit that I always aligned with. Who the fuck doesn't want to get big muscles? More confidence? Girls (and guys) to look at you in complete awe?
SIGN ME THE FUCK UP
Oh wait, so there's drugs involved?
And wait, you mean to say that I can just blast mega doses year round with no regards to health because EVERYONE else is doing it???
All I have to say is that I'm forever grateful to have found a place like pro muscle when I did. Anything that was worth learning I picked up from here. And I met some real ass mofos (and of course plenty of fakes) along the way that I could learn from and who have kept me from getting completely lost in this circus show of extreme vanity, narcissism, and selfishness.
It's always been far too easy into get sucked into that lifestyle. Way WAY too easy. And these days with what social media has morphed into, there's a insta famous "guru" fucktard around every corner of a simple swipe of a finger just waiting to tempt and lure any sucker they can.
But even with all the nonsense, at the end of the day I fucking love bodybuilding and can only hope we start to open our eyes to incorporating more emphasis on overall health optimization. I can definitely see it beginning to happen. And with what is coming regarding biometrics and the future of the health industry as a whole it's absolutely inevitable that we eventually get there. But for now, I just hope the best for all the people who continue to choose the mindset "it's all just fun and games".
