Preface: I’m neither equipped nor here to diagnose anyone with body dysphoria or anything like that.
I totally get the appeal of working out, getting a nice summer/beach body, staying fit/healthy and all that. That’s all well and good. But the degree to which bodybuilders intentionally overdo it just looks awful to me. Like, to me, they all look like tiny little heads atop roided-out, spray-tanned, lumpy, disproportionate looking bodies.
That just looks gross to me, and I can’t see the appeal of wanting to do that to yourself.
No this needs to be said—those bodies are unhealthy as all fuck and look awful. I’d rather watch my 500 lb life cuz at least they don’t delude themselves into thinking their healthy.
No competition bodybuilder thinks what they’re doing is healthy. They know the risks they are taking pushing their body to the human limit.
Is this a meme or a cope?
