no i just thought that that logic made sense but I do know why they do it.

They basically do it to be all that is man, and they like to push the limits of the human body, specifically the male body. Arnold put it best when he said he was like an architect but instead of working with his hands and molding clay, his body was the canvas and he was molding it to be the perfect male body.
I think it also can be combined with the fact that they just get caught up in weight lifting so much and like the constant progress that they just end up focusing all of their time and effort into it and probably one day said oh what the heck im going to enter a show, and then they won and kept doing it.
Also probably has to do with body dysmorphia where they do not have a realistic body image of themselves.

Well, I'm sure pro bodybuilders have various reason, but I don't believe female attraction is the main one when they get to be that big. Hell, I want to be big, but it isn't to attract anyone. I already know that being big isn't that attractive to the general population (look at the hysteria over twilight where the guy was like 170-180lbs haha).

Actually...you think bodybuilders who take the sport this seriously will date an every day girl? They're going to date someone who's at least half as serious or interested in the sport, which most likely means they'll like that kind of muscle.

Don't act like ALL of those guys are single, many of them are married.

That is a given. I think what is being debated is that they do it/don't do it just so they can attract someone. There are people who find that attractive, but I think the likelihood of pro bodybuilders getting to look that way just to impress women is low.

Exactly. They do it for themselves, personal accomplishment. Look at any bodybuilder who stops competing, he shrinks down alot, keeps training at a much lower level, enough to stay healthy.

oh no, I was not being serious about my first post, i just liked the logic and it followed through.
I know why they do it.

But I will be the first to admit I primarily do it just to look good for the ladies(currently just one lady and that is my girlfriend who I love very much)
I also do like seeing the progress and having the challenge and sculpting my body, but that all comes second tbh.

curls for the girls
squat for the twat
snatch for the.....snatch

haha i have noticed that when i work on my snatch technique when i'm around early in the morning with the softball team, i get lots of glances..now whether that is good or bad, i have yet to determine lol

Squatting 1,000 pounds or doing decline sit ups with 500 pounds on your chest.

Isolation is better for working out a specific muscle.



Living for other people still, eh Bones? It's about time to mature.
