When I said, "what bodybuilding
used to be about" I didn't give a timeframe on it. I actually meant back before the Weiders took it all over, took out the points for participating in a sport, for athletic performance and so on.
This is what Weider did for bodybuilding.
Excellent for lonely gay guys in the closet in the 1960s, not so great for everyone else. Once it became about selling sex magazines and not about athleticism and health, there was no reason drugs
shouldn't come into it. Working out is about improving how you look, feel (health) and perform. Take performance and health out of it and leave only looks, well why
not roid it up?
Of course, now with everyone tangerine, striated and roid gutted, no longer athletic, muscles built to inhuman levels with hgh and vitamin T, not even lonely gay guys in the closet are getting anything out of it. Just the magazine and supplement producers.
We need less Arnies and more Fadis. More people who do bodybuilding to show what heavy lifting and good food can do - make you strong, fit and healthy - and along the way, almost by accident, looking good, too.
