Thanks, that was great.

I think that peeps need to watch stuff like that more often as they keep thinking it is all about the cycles the pros take, which it isn't.

While what most of what the pros do is really not applicable to most people, that level of training intensity is.

I would love to see more women train that way, rather than waving pink dumbells around for the mandatory 3 sets of 15 reps.

Body building - I just can't fully fathom the mentality behind it

I "get" olympic lifting, powerlifting and strongman, but bodybuilding... probably because you can't objectively quantify progress / results.

Yes we do.

I still track how much I am lifting, how much my weight is increasing, how much my bodymeasurements are increasing, and in comp prep, tracking the decrease in bodyfat.

None of which the judges take in to account on the day of the competition as the results of former Olympias etc would suggest.

Ok, so while we may be able to track progress, you are saying that the results aspect (as in winning the Olympia which has obvious 'political' leanings), is not as clear?

That is true, I don't always get the judging at BBing contests.

Sometimes there is a clear winner though in a lot of the amateur comps.

Conditioning does seem to win more than anything else.

agreed.
slowly it fades into obscurity

I'm not denigrating the efforts on the part of the bodybuilders of course - it obviously takes an exceptional level of mental fortitude to control one's living habits to the extent of being able to create and maintain such a unnatural physique, but the whole "judging" aspect... heck why bother.

I'd be interested to see what percentage of judges are actually former competitive bodybuilders themselves.

i notice a lot of these dudes have have pretty loose form in their lifts. Is that the way to go?

I totally agree with you on a level, men and women should train identically for their goals. However, correlating the level of achievements with someone practicing poly-pharmacy is disingenuous.

good vid
i disagree with all the hate talk though
who is the asshole trying to narrate it?

That's what I was implying in my first post, it works for the pros, the genetically elite.

Just about bloody anything will work for them.

Doesn't mean it works for the majority of people who follow the whole BBing lifestyle thing.

I just saw guys working out over heavy metal music.

I wanted to hear interviews, not just straight grunts and lifting.
