Body builders are legitimately mentally ill.

You have to be a little mentally ill to get to the top 1% of any given field

Correct

I think bodybuilders are a special kind of mentally ill though because I think theres even more to it than standard "I want to be the best"

I think theres gnarly sprinklings of
>I am running away from past trauma
>I will never be good enough
>i have an innate desire to be stronger than everyone else so I can mentally beat up the people that wronged me as a vulnerable young person
>If I am not clearly the strongest person in the room at all times I will have a narcissistic meltdown and believe im the weakest little baby in the world and my ego will be crushed

Bodybuilding pretty much ended with the Silver Era when it was actually about being healthy and eating healthy.
Now it's all losers who take drugs and fake natty influencers trying to sell you their bullshit program and useless "supplements".

The real mentally ill people are the ones filling the halls of bodybuilding competitions or following them online
Like wtf is wrong with you? How are you interested in this trash?

I would argue that vast majority of people in the gym are mentally ill
Most of them are there just to cure their insecurities and they think that developing a better body would make them feel better

Gamers are more. Artists, druggies, damn near everyone is today.

Going to the gym actually gave me insecurities i didn't know i had.

There is nothing more demoralizing than being around people. But why not buy equipment and train from home?

Can't be a fucking cookie cutter if you wanna be great
I'M A FREAK BABY!

Small home, tiny windows, not enough ventilation. It's not so much that i care about the other people, but that i realise how weak i actually am.

as a student of anatomy, i love them. look at the little "shelf" the vastus lateralis creates at the connection to the tendon. remarkable!

>>76461614

Truly the GOAT. What a physique this man had.

The only people that belive bodybuilders are not mentally ill are fags.they all look grotesque.

that's how they're financing their addiction. one might aswell subscribe to a methhead peddling dieting programs.
