My channel's main focus is on self improvement, bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, culture, gaming, books, politics etc.
Today I wanna elaborate a bit on modern bodybuilding since the Mr. Olympia competition was on this weekend.
And to keep it short, I think modern bodybuilding at the top level is an abomination.
And I say that because it is nothing to do with what I perceive as the beautiful things of the Temple of Iron.
Mr. Olympia has nothing to do with health, fitness or performance.
It is more about who can withstand the most amount of gear into their bodies without dying.
It is more about that aspect than actually training hard.
The guys at the top level don't need to hit the gym hard.
They need to be meticulous about their diet and they need to be meticulous about their gear intake.
That is what that competition is about.
Plus who can have the best genetics.
Now the genetics part you can't get away from.
That's just the way of life.
But that's not what I'm taking a stab at.
I'm taking a stab at that bodybuilding on the top level has has become this sort of really degenerated abomination from something that was once beautiful up until Frank Sane perhaps lost.
Frank Sane was a bit too big and a bit too dry in my opinion.
I prefer to have a higher body fat.
I think that looks more healthy and natural.
And realize this that there is nothing healthy, there is nothing aesthetic, there is nothing glorious about having 5% body fat.
And I suggest that no one has it.
I long for the fucking day when that ideal goes away.
And if I can be an inspiration and spread a message, it is the following.
Fuck that fucking level of shreddedness.
It is nothing to do with anything that is that is glorious for a man.
Because your health will take a stab.
And for me, the beauty of the gym, the beauty of a masculine physique.
Like no homo.
But that is also how you can perform with your body.
If you can't perform with your body and it's just for show, that is more a feminine quality.
Like I'm quite vain myself, but I realize that the masculine value is to perform and a more feminine value is to look pretty.
So if just for show, if you can't actually do anything with your body, that is for me not as glorious at all.
And if you look at the guys on the top levels of bodybuilding, they've also lost the sense of aesthetics completely.
Back in the day, when Frank Sane was around, they still had some sort of ideals.
They weren't too big.
They sure as hell didn't go around with these huge bellies that looked like a pregnant cow.
Now I'm not disrespecting anyone on the top level, but at the same time, I need to call out this shit whenever I see it, because it's not good role models for younger guys to say like, okay, cool, I want to be a bodybuilder.
And you have to realize that it's a competition about who can take the most gear.
You don't want to destroy your body and your life like that.
And no, I'm not saying that you should train to be healthy.
Like who the fuck wants that?
No, you want to be big and massive.
But what kind of price are you willing to pay for that?
Do you want your body to be completely fucking destroyed because you want some quick fucking gains?
No, obviously not.
So I hope that the current training in Mr. Olympia, you know, with his mass freaks, the bigger the better and the harder the better.
I hope that fucking goes away.
I'm really no fan of that at all.
It's nothing to do with fitness, health, performance and it's outright dangerous.
And I don't in any way want to be associated with that sort of bodybuilding.
So if you say like bodybuilding to me, yeah, it can mean a lot of things.
It can mean natural bodybuilding or strength training.
You build your body, you build your confidence, that is one thing.
Even bodybuilding with moderate amounts of gear that is also one thing.
Amateur competitions in bodybuilding that is also one thing.
But I'm not liking this sort of development where you need to be like 5% body fat to stand a chance because you will only fuck up your fucking hormonal system and you will feel like shit for 3 weeks or 3 months or 6 months before a fucking competition.
There is no way to live.
That is not something anyone should strive for ever.
So that is my beef with modern bodybuilding and especially with the professional level of it.
I don't want to be associated with that shit in any way whatsoever.
And that's also why I don't want to refer to myself as a bodybuilder even though I'm quite juicy.
