hate for body builders??

[man-united Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close man-united]

I am not able to understand why people have hate and think bodybuilders that LOVE body building and live it with passion are not looked upon with respect by all. Not saying everyone hates em but i just don't know why not everyone likes em. I wanna scream at the next person i see who says anything about it lol. They don't see the hard work, dedication and discipline body building requires and most of all i don't see how this is any different than any other sport. and our society scream of "treating everyone equally" and "pursuit of happiness".

Just posting this for a discussion not as an argument, would love to hear what people on the forum have to say about it?

cheers

The media, news and reporters have pretty much told everyone that BBer's use steroids and other drugs, they make it sound as if they are the only ones, just look at them at how big they are, they must be using drugs. Our beloved baseball players can't be using drugs, nor any runners and god forbid there's no way our football team is using drugs. Take a look at the Planet Fitness commercials, making a mockery of BBer's. They have been doing this for years and this is why most people feel this way. It will never change, the whole world look at BBer's the same way.

I agree with you, it almost makes me sad as media is giving out information that is misleading people and possible effecting there happiness. I heard at work the other day people saying how they hate when guy flex at the gym, i wanted to ask, how is that any different than a girl spending 1.5hr at average for makeup?? so stupid!!!

Jealously makes people turn into assholes!

I had a member of my FD turn to another member and say that what I do makes me look good but it will just make me muscle bound.

This coming from a guy that is at least 75 pounds over weight and smokes 2 packs a day... A real icon of fitness I tell ya. And I hope to god
I get all the muscle's he talking about.

There are those assholes in life no matter what you do...

I have to agree Mr. Big. The media and the popular culture has people so worked up against steroids, that it carries over to anyone that carries any muscle on their bodies.

Personally, I have no problem with ped's in sports. An athlete's career is pretty short and in many sports, guys are done by the time they are 35. Let them extend that career a year or two any way they can!

I think some of the most entertaining baseball was when Sosa and McGuire were chasing the home run title. For all we know, Roger Maris was messing around with d-bol back in the 60's and nobody knew any better or cared.

The media has manipulated people that are incapable of thinking for themselves into believing that any type of enhancement is a bad thing. Those of us capable of some independent thinking don't fall into that trap.

Men and women have looked great over the past years who took bodybuilding serious, whether on juice or not. I don't care what anyone says, everyone wants a great body, whether it be big or just well defined. So basically it's just jealousy. I hear guys like the fat bastard I work with who smokes like a chimney say, yeah he looks good, he'll look great in his coffin. Why would anyone say that? I can see if someone is an arrogant muscle head who acts like he's better than everyone but me and another guy who lifts barely say two words a week there. We don't even wear clothes to show off or anything.

I don't know what else to say that right there is what its all about!! great answer

Media has great power and where law and politicians are scream its all about doing the right etc etc!! the truth is its all about money and how rich can stay rich and poor stays poor. In my opinion the only reason they are against steroid use is because they haven't found the best way to make them most amount of money out of it!! but the day they figure that out it will be sold without tax. Off topic but If any of you guys haven't seen Zeitgeist documentary!! it will change how you look at things.

That's a fact!

I agree and i can see why people listen to media but then again, my old man always said, "Listen to everyone but do what you want to do". I was gonna step in the conversation at work, when they were saying how they hate when people flex in gym, but then i though its useless as all i am gonna be doing is burning calories . So i just listened and laughed.
